    Very true. I think my thought process was something like, if I need a cord and one of my backups is broken, I can use backup #2 and still have backup #3 in case another cord breaks before I can get a new backup.

    Has this ever happened? No. “But it might,” whispers the hoarding goblin in my head

    Edit: spelling

      I carried around a Costco pack of toilet paper through like 4 moves “just in case” and then the plague hit and I was the only person I knew who wasn’t wiping with wads of lawn trimmings. Sometimes that hoarding goblin is on to something
