The 30-Second Read team today offers tips for hoarders. And, wow, do we need them. Because the instincts we developed on the savannas of prehistory are, today, often laughable and occasionally deadly.
First is advice for gasoline hoarders.
If you must pour gas into a plastic shopping bag, avoid Walmart’s tissue-like totes. They’re too thin to hold even a single apple without tearing and, according to our testing, will explode in your trunk 96% of the time when filled with gas.
Instead, use Target store bags. They’re sturdier – and proven to explode only 88% of the time.
Now to those toilet paper piles hiding dust bunnies in bathroom cabinets. What to do with them?
Stack rolls to fill the doorway of your clutter room. A mess unseen is no mess at all.
Build a TP sculpture in your front yard. The edifice will last until rain comes. Neighborhood lore about you, that kooky artist, will last for years. You’ll be locally famous.
Hang painted rolls from an outdoor tree as Christmas ornaments.
Humanity urgently needs more such tips. Share yours.
