Hrm... I feel like I'm straddling the fence between packrat and normal accumulation.... I do have quite a bit of clothes sitting around that I keep meaning to take to goodwill, but at least the storage closet (about 6'x4') isn't packed to the gills. My problem is I'm really good at hiding the stuff I don't want to look at- the 2nd bathroom has all kinds of junk in the bathtub, but I can't see that stuff because I put a curtain up to hide it. So I forget about it! My in-laws, however... well, I don't think these people EVER throw anything away! My grandmother is like that too- my mom will help her clean out stuff in her house, and she doesn't want ANYTHING (and I mean ANYTHING) to be thrown out. My mom just puts it in boxes and takes it down to the basement with the intention of taking it out the back door so my grandmother doesn't notice it being thrown away!
