What's the most...?

My dad picks up every single nail (as in the thing you hammer into wood) he finds on the street. Once there were about 30 nails that had obviously been dropped on the floor and he picked up every single one of them and put them in his pocket. He now has several hundred nails in his shed.

Well other than stealing stuff from hotel rooms (if they don't want me to keep it they shouldn't have given it to me), I tend to take packets of sugar or salt from restaurants (I have no idea why I take them it isn't as if I am ever going to use them).

I also sometimes take food from the restaurants like rolls or bread (oh god I feel like an old woman now).

I don't really know I tend to take random things from places, I am a bit of a klepto at times.


I am bad about taking paper or napkins from places (I am never going to need the paper but yet I still want it).

I take pens as well because well I mean doesn't everybody (stupid banks putting chains on their pens as if they cost so much money.)


I did see a old woman take a dead squirrel off the road once and you see people taking roadkill off the roads and taking it home with them all the time. (That is actually pretty normal here in the south although I refuse to eat roadkill or any animal for that matter.) My uncle hit a deer one time and just put it in his truck and took it home for deer meat.

I sort of do this. I am not entirely sure though if it is OCD related but if I see something and I feel "drawn" to it I must pick it up and claim it for my own.

Mute.Scream My mom used to take a teaspoon from each restaurant we went to. Now we have too many.

I am ridiculously guilty of this. Unfortunately it is not just regular spoons but also plastic ones, there is a large box in the spare room filled with plastic spoons.
I have five (I never did manage to klepto the 6th) long handled costa hot chocolate spoons. Almost a complete set ;)



I went through a phase where I could not help but pick up pieces of paper, notes, anything written from any floor - I would collect them and try to come up with the story behind them. Always had a life me ;)

I am guilty of picking up roadkill and taking it home occasionally. But I don't eat it, I make jewelry out of bones.

My roommate hates this, as it often hangs out in a plastic bag in the yard until I use it, and it creeps him out, haha :)
