I have never bought tupperware in my life. I have a pantry full of it. 

To the best of my knowledge I have never purchased a clothes hanger. I have probably 100 of them. 

Never bought an umbrella. I own probably five of them. 

Don't remember ever buying a clothespin. I have a drawer in my kitchen full of them.

You get the point. Am I a secret klepto and just don't realize it? Where did all this shit come from?

I've never bought an umbrella, although I did try, once.

I had found myself on a plaza in a small town in Spain. There was not a cloud in the sky, it was noon, and I felt like I was in danger of ignition. I found a shop with men's wear on display, and in my not merely broken but compoundedly fractured attempt at Spanish, I tried to come up with some description of an umbrella. The young man trying to help me with my desired purchase finally gave up, motioned for me to bide a while, went next door and returned with an older gentleman who spoke a bit of English. They jabbered at each other for a few minutes. The older man turned to me and asked "My young friend wishes to know why you want a parachute with which to whip your horse?

The store did not have any such thing, and I resorted to going to the nearby hotel, and alternately shower and loll in the bed until shadows crept across that plaza.

I have bought wooden clothespins, though. They are nearly always in use in my kitchen, holding closed various sacks and bags of bread, chips, chocolates and whatnot, far better than any plastic pieces of chinese clipcrap I've ever seen.

Or if you're unmarried, you're getting screwed on the various dead relative inheritances.
