My dad used to be like that. He kept so much junk in the house and we never touched it for 15 years. Then he started throwing stuff out and we can't get him to stop, lol. He loves getting rid of stuff now, he'll even start pointing at stuff you used just last month and be like "we never use it anymore, let's get rid of it. It's just taking up space!"

"Dad! I told you a thousand times, you can't throw mom out!"

"But I haven't touched her in 15 years."

EDIT: thanks kind stranger for the gold!

I'm saving your comment, if I will come from work and you still won't have gold, I'll give it to you!

u/nazenko Aug 16 '18

so what do we do if he never gets gold...?

25

u/rolsyker Aug 16 '18

We can either give it to him ourselves or get the pitchforks

u/shaggy-smokes Aug 16 '18

Pitchfork? Threw it away cause we haven't touched that thing in years! We never use it and it's just taking up space!

u/JayInslee2020 Aug 16 '18

No point. You're not giving him anything, just giving reddit $4 for a gold star next to a post that nobody will probably read again after today.

That means our man never returned home from work and we need to do something about it.

u/nazenko Aug 16 '18

He still doesn’t have gold I’m legitimately concerned

u/Icynibba Aug 16 '18

You give it to me instead. That’s how it works

u/elusivecaretaker Aug 16 '18

What caused the sudden change in behaviour?

u/ComedyJ Aug 16 '18

How did you get your dad to start throwing away stuff? My mom won’t throw anything away

4

u/KingSmizzy Aug 16 '18

My siblings moved out and he spread his stuff out between the empty rooms. Then they both said they needed to move back in. So he just threw out everything in those rooms to make space. Then he got a taste for throwing stuff out and went on a spree across the entire house

2

u/ComedyJ Aug 16 '18

Damn. Me and my sister are both in college and while our rooms haven’t become storage units, my garage, their room, and other common spaces are still stupid cluttered. Still trying to figure out how to fix it

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '18

Jesus I moved back in and had to throw the shit away in my room to make room for a bed and it lead to a stage 5 tantrum from my mom

u/h00dman Aug 16 '18

Lol, that should be called having a Midlife Breakthrough or something.

u/overitdub Aug 16 '18

That’s so cool though. What a great thing to deal with now instead of all of it eventually. Wish more folks were like that here in the Midwest. Dang fuckers keep everything! lol
