My wife is pretty good comparatively with the buying of senseless crap.
However, she is a hoarder of boxes and used wrapping paper. I'll never forget when we moved out of our last rental. There was a 12x16 shed, which from the day we moved in, was magically filled with boxes by her. I had been hoping to have myself a nice little shop, we even got into it from time to time about how I never fixed the little stuff. "Well if I had my shop" and all. She never liked the argument.
So we move. The division of labor negotiated was she packs, I move/haul. Ok fair enough. We get everything out of the place except for everything in this overloaded shed, which I am clearly procrastinating moving because man it seems like a lot of stuff ... that isn't mine.
After much delay I take an afternoon off work to move what I think will be a back breaking amount of shit, only to discover that every single box in the damn thing is empty. Literally like 2000 cubic feet of cardboard, air, and an alarming amount of mouse shit. WHAT. THE. FUCK.Live Free or Die

+1. Where does one buy owl pellets? And more importantly, why?
A handheld vacuum showed up at the house yesterday. On top of the new Roomba and his floor-mopping cousin. Which are meant to replace a Roomba which is old but still does its job (4 cats & 1 dog, gotta give the poor robot some credit) and a steamer mop /carpet cleaner which also works fine. Not to be confused with the dedicated carpet cleaner we have which also works fine but doesn't get used because we have no carpet and all the rugs are machine-washable.
Apparently the handheld vacuum is meant for spots where the regular vacuum cleaner can't go. Oh, you thought we didn't have a regular vacuum cleaner? We do. It has a long flexy hose with several adapters so it can go everywhere. And if it can't we also have the shop vac with an even longer hose and stronger suction. But the handheld vacuum will be more convenient to deal with one particular situation (cleaning the litter box tray) so it was needed. All hail the power of the vacuum!!
Oddly, I always manage to clean around the litter box with a broom + dust pan.

dissecting owl pellets was a somewhat common middle school science experiment. you find out that owls eat lots of rodents.

Pillows. Millions and millions of pillows that serve no functional purpose other than to make beds couches and patio furniture look nice.

^internet is amazing. Looks like there are a ton of suppliers including https://pellet.com/ and they are inexpensive
Now that I know it will be hard to resist. Be the cool family member that breaks out some owl pellets to impress the kids
If you haven't had owl pellets before some of them have skulls in them

To be fair, and it's been mentioned up thread a fair bit, I bet Ms Boissal is posting in a similar thread on some other forum about all the dumb shit I buy...
Compulsive buyer syndrome is a small price to pay for me to have such a spectacularly awesome better half. She could buy owl pellets on the daily and I'd still be the one getting the long end of the stick in the relationship

sounds like owl pellets are not exactly what I expected based on the words.

How much did she pay for said "owl pellets" and can you send me her address? I know where a barn full might be and can give her a discount for quantity.

Same sentiment here. She got full designer and decor rights to the master bedroom suite we added to the house 6 years ago. I got to take over the living room with all my music and skateboard gear that had been in a rickety walled in back porch that was taken out to add on the master suite..
My wife can have all the freaking pillows she wants as long as I get to play my drums and guitars and hang 30 skateboards on the wall in the living room LOL!Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
