You should see my face when we needed some obscure thing I hoarded like years ago, that got threatened to be thrown out by my wife multiple times over the pass years.

Some of those occasion that I can recall:

_a clothes patcher I bought from AliExpress (used 7 years after purchased)

_a gasoline syphon (3 years after purchased, used on my wife's car in an emergency. I still bring it up till this day everytime she tried to throw out something I hoarded)

_a couple of self-tapping screws (used 5 years after purchased)

_electric lint remover (lost count of when I got it)

_velcro tape (used 6 years after purchased)

Velcro tape is awesome. You can do so many pranks with it.
