I’ve tried to cut back on my saved cords, limiting myself to 3 of each kind. Why 3 I couldn’t really tell you

If you need one, it might be for something you got two of (especially if you're married), and because they're old one of them might be broken

Very true. I think my thought process was something like, if I need a cord and one of my backups is broken, I can use backup #2 and still have backup #3 in case another cord breaks before I can get a new backup.

Has this ever happened? No. “But it might,” whispers the hoarding goblin in my head

Edit: spelling

I carried around a Costco pack of toilet paper through like 4 moves "just in case" and then the plague hit and I was the only person I knew who wasn't wiping with wads of lawn trimmings. Sometimes that hoarding goblin is on to something
