The collector is a person like many others, if we exclude his perversion for a particular class of objects.

It starts when you are little with stickers, the future collector is the one who can’t stand not finishing the album. Then comes the accumulation of phone cards. In serious cases, the collector takes home a bottle of sand from the beach when he goes to the beach.

Let’s see in detail what it means to be a collector inside.

Here is the list of things that only a collector will understand

#1 You need a bigger house to display your collections, but you can’t afford it because you spent all the money buying your collections.

#2 When you invite a girl to your house with the old excuse of the butterfly collection and then you actually show it to her.

#3 But it’s not something that lasts ten minutes and then you go off to do pentatonics on the Fallopian tubes. The presentation can last the whole evening and throw away the 40 euros of painful bikini waxing for the girl.

#4 You live under the illusion that the junk you collect will increase in value and allow you to live off the proceeds. No need to turn up your nose, you thought exactly this while completing the Naruto series.

#5 Justifying the accumulation of garbage through the art of collecting is easier than separating it.

#6 The collector’s biggest enemies are mom or grandma when they clean.

#7 Remember when you made your girlfriend walk for an hour in the Portland sun looking for that famous record store? She did too, and she’s still waiting for an apology.

#8 Collecting is ego-syntonic: when you post your latest purchase on Facebook, the second shirt of the Frosinone goalkeeper, you think you’re normal.

#9 First stage of collecting: compulsive hoarding.

#10 Second stage of collecting: scientific investigation of the best antioxidant techniques for preserving materials.

#11 Third stage of collecting: research the commercial value of the items you own in forums.

#12 A thing when it is not part of a collection is just a thing.

#13 At home you have a treasure chest full of surprises found in Kinder eggs.

#14 If you think back to when you used to search for phone cards in flea markets, you can’t hold back a tear.

#15 Fashion advertisers use the term “new collection” to describe those few rags they throw out every half season. This misuse of the term offends you to the core.

#16 Beer coasters, glasses and bottles are your favorite ornaments.

#17 Your bedroom looks like the cave of the forty thieves.

#18 Every item you collect has an amazing story, and even if no one wants to hear it, when you think about it, it makes you feel good.
