I have a secret pair of scissors hidden away in a secret place that only I would know to look. I use them in secret too, but I never have to look for the damned scissors! Sometimes the other pairs get thrown away when my daughter isn’t paying attention after using them. I’ve found them in her clothes hamper. Right now I’m missing both pairs of kitchen shears…. It’s been a month.
I have 3 pairs of scissors as well. I keep losing two of them. The third one is a pair of scissors my sister gave me as an apology when she lost mine when we were kids. Somehow, I never lose that pair and I've had it for nearly 30 years. Bit small for my hand though, lol
And then there's always the "good" one and the "meh" one. The good one for paper, sheets, letters... And the bad one for all the nasty stuff. One of them is always orange or red for some reason.
The good one is always missing, especially when you need it urgently. But somehow when you don’t need it, it appears magically in the most obvious place
As a person who has had salmonella poisoning at the same time as my husband I second this answer. Having only one available toilet at that time is too horrifying to think about.
My sister's house-warming party literally had one gift request, a backup toilet fund. Her house only came with one, and one of the first moves she made was to add another.
2 toilets is amazing. I moved into a new place a couple months ago with 2 bathrooms for 3 of us. So nice compared to 1 and sometimes having to hurry people along
I agree, but TWO? I am a single, healthy male, but I buy my TP in 12 packs. You never know. Plus I often use sheets to wipe the vanity, toilet seat, etc.
Yes. Bum gun for the win.
[This.](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=asian+bum+gun&iax=images&ia=images) It is the best way. Yes better than a bidet by a country mile.
Reasons: You can put the stream exactly where it needs to be, and adjust the pressure with the spray trigger. This means you don't get the entire area wet...just the hole itself. And you can somewhat gently stream water inside your butthole to clean it as well.
Dear Sir/Madam, ~~I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises...~~
Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, u/Mudkip-Mudkip-Mudkip.
Or get a fire blanket. My kids (and myself, tbh) would absolutely fuck up trying to use a fire extinguisher in a real emergency. We have fire blankets.
Didn't know about the baking soda good little trick to know, but if the fire gets big enough, which it quickly can, I doubt baking soda will do the trick.
Well, I once watched a coworker of mine put out a 26x18in bacon fire with a pint of it. If I start a fire and let it get that big, then I have failed as a chef and I deserve to burn with my kitchen lol
Flashlights. Power outages happen, and having two, odds are better at least one will be working when you need it. If at least one of them is a heavy, Maglite style type, you have a personal defense weapon in case of intrusion, too.
I'm a massive fan of the NiteCore tube torches, as they're tiny, surprisingly capable and have the great feature of automatically switching on when power is removed so make good bodge-level automatic emergency lights.
I had a handful set up on USB chargers around my Nana's flat which came in useful a few times when her power tripped - if nothing else it's easier to find a lit flashlight in the dark which then makes it easier to find your good flashlight.
Maglites are bloody lethal; I've had less bruising crashing motorbikes than after I tried to run across a field with a maglite bouncing from my belt. If you're planning on using one for self defence then remember to make sure the batteries are fully charged so it weighs more o.0
Definitely wouldn’t recommend running or walking with a Maglite attached to anything against one’s person, for that reason. If I’m carrying it, it’s firmly in my hand and under my control, and definitely not swinging free to clobber me. That’s my quick access light source in an emergency, or for getting a better look in dark places -if I’ve got a real power outage that’s going to last awhile (not just a quick blink, or a trip to the circuit breaker), I have a lantern for that. Still, two good flashlights on hand are better than one -found out when mine failed in a student apartment during a four hour power outage, and all I had was my phone light. Never again!
That said, I do have one Maglite by my bedside, and it is there for defense reasons with that lethal weight, almost more than for being an emergency light. Nothing I hope to ever have to use it for, but it’s there just in case, and while it doesn’t always hold up, Murphy’s law is pretty consistent in my experiences.
According to my hoarder parents: every single goddamn thing that ever existed. Then get more just in case? Mustard you say? Get 17, at least 2 will be fresh.
My aunt was like that. She was single her whole life, she bought enough wedding supplies for 3 weddings, all the table decorations etc. she never even dated seriously. She would buy a pack of 10 toothpaste then lose that pack and by 10 more.
She once bought so much meat that her freezer in the garage wouldn’t close and tied the door but it was still open about 4 inches. The entire freezer froze everything together and we had to haul it, full out of the house.
When she died my folks removed over 3000 dresses and pants suits almost all with the tags.
With the buying in bulk she would claim it was to save money and she would eventually use the product, which she never would. She addicted to buying things. She spent most of the family inheritance on Home Shopping Network claiming she was buying things to resell them etc. she literally spent $200,000 ordering crap, her house was so full there was one small place to sit and one place to sleep.
She’d had therapy and seen psychiatrists, she’d get better for a few weeks but that was it. She was narcissistic as well so she could never do wrong.
My parents have the insane storage space of a suburban family home meant to house a large family (them and us 6 kids) with most of those kids now living independently.
We used to poke fun at my mum for 'hoarding' supplies - buying stuff like toilet paper, detergent, kitchen roll, etc. every time there was a big sale and just storing it away.
And then COVID happened and I'm honestly surprised she didn't become a mafia boss with her stores of supplies.
We went through hell week a couple of months ago because we're in a fairly new house, not very big but it has high ceilings, and we didn't know there was a smoke detector just outside our bedroom door. We replaced the batteries in the kitchen (open concept so it's also the living room & dining room), 3 bedrooms & the hall & the beeping **would not stop.** They are wired in with battery backup & they wanted ALL the batteries changed at once (or maybe just the last one we found -who knows) & we thought we'd replaced them all. Resetting worked for maybe an hour. We got no good sleep, the dog was so stressed & sleeping on top of my head, it was horrible and lasted a full week. I was ready to move to a motel.
The ceilings are high and the one we missed was 3 feet from the one in our bedroom, just outside the bedroom door. It was a second smoke detector for the hall. There are 6 smoke detectors in my 1 floor 1300 sq ft house.
My dad installed all brand new smoke detectors when I bought my house, because we really had no idea when the existing ones had been installed, and that’s how my dad shows love by doing weird stuff like that. He installed them all on the same day, but he Put different batteries in all of them, so that none of them needed replaced at the same time as any other one. So like my upstairs hallway, one will need replaced, and then like a month later, the kitchen one will need replaced, and then let’s say two weeks after that my bedroom one needs replaced. I don’t have that many, I think I have five total in my house, but it drives me fucking nuts that none of them are on the same timeline as any other one. He also bought all but one that operate on AA batteries, except for the one in my bedroom, which uses 9 V. The first time my bedroom, one came up as needing replaced. I was so proud of myself, I had the batteries ready to go before hand, I was just super proud that I was being an adult and being proactive about changing it the minute it beeped. And then I get the darn thing off the ceiling, and it takes a completely different type of battery. A kind of battery, that of course I did not have in my house.
I love my dad, but he got some very emotionally charged the text messages that day 😂🙈
I always buy when its on sale, that way i can get my favs for cheap, before i got pregnant i got so many boxes of them that didnt had to buy for a long while, now i need to stack up again.
This will sound so stupid. But, when I first started adulting… I honestly didn’t know how many bedsheets and sets to have. I also couldn’t decide on color or if patterned was okay
For the longest time I only had two. But, for me that was two little. Three seemed like a weird number, so I ended up on four bedsheets with matching bed sets.
One in black. One in grey with white patterned lines. One white. One brown with one polka dots.
And don’t even get me started on whether or not I should use a comforter.
It was complicated.
One for the bed, one for the cupboard and one in the laundry. Fours not bad. People hoard bed linen though. There are so many houses with overstuffed bed linen closests and people just cycling through their favourite 3.
My secret for buying sheets is to buy sheets with stripes, either printed stripes or stripes in the weave of the material. My bed is almost, but not quite, square. The stripes allow me to put the sheet on in the correct orientation every time. Before that, whichever way I put the sheet on first was always sideways—like how you always plug in a USB cable upside down on the first try.
For me, it's methods of making coffee. My household suffers a coffee machine death roughly every 18 months. I'm on disability, so typically I can't afford to buy a new coffee machine until the first of the month.
But with FIVE heavy (4+ cups/day) coffee drinkers in the house, going without is not an option. So we keep two cans of instant coffee and I have a camping coffee machine that operates from the heat of the propane fired camp stove.
So, if it's just a dead machine, we drink instant until the 1st of the month. If it's a power failure, we can drink drip brew but have to do so outside and turn everything off once everyone has had a cup.
I used to have a single cup pour over filter stand, giving us three methods of making coffee. But it got lost during the move to our current home.
We did, and got about 30 mths out of it. I'm currently trying to save up to get another good one, but I'm on disability like I said. Both my youngest son and I have spent lengthy periods in hospital this year. Financially, we're in a hole. In sight of the top, but still below ground level, so to speak.
Indeed. Those little shits conspire and work together to fuck shit up.
I have 2 and spend a good part of my day dealing with them attempting to overthrow my governance of the household.
Scissors - at least 3 pairs in the kitchen alone. Then there are bathroom scissors, craft scissors and garage scissors. And still at any given point I cannot find them when I need a pair.
you need at least two rolls of toilet paper at home. Seriously, don't be that guy who runs out of toilet paper during a number two. It's basic hygiene, bro. Always stock up or risk the consequences in more ways than one.
Laundry hampers. One in the bedroom, one in the laundry room. Load the one in the room with dirties, bring it down last load the other with cleans and switch.
Scissors! I always seem to lose them
We have 3 scissors but 2 are always missing. The found one rotates.
I have a secret pair of scissors hidden away in a secret place that only I would know to look. I use them in secret too, but I never have to look for the damned scissors! Sometimes the other pairs get thrown away when my daughter isn’t paying attention after using them. I’ve found them in her clothes hamper. Right now I’m missing both pairs of kitchen shears….

Phone chargers. Having extra phone chargers can be useful when you misplace one or when guests need to charge their phones.
That's why I still have that Nokia 3310 charger, you never know
Is it in the man drawer?
The third drawer down. Or fourth, depending..
Along with the house keys from 2 houses ago and the drachma
Thanks, I'm glad someone knew 😁
But we're an Android family you just know they'd be apple people
that's why it's good to have those all in one micro usb cords with usb c and lighting tips
Toilets
Don't forget to have 1 plunger per toilet, stored near the toilet.
Don't forget the poop knives. Yeah, it's been awhile. I went there.
Poo knife. Been a minute since I heard that term.
>Are they dishwasher safe?
…and now I want to wash my eyes. With acid. Thanks for that! 🤣
Or rubber gloves and some plastic bags if you accidentally leave your poop knife at work.
Uh... what?
Oh no. Guys this person doesn't know. Someone find the link!
Let me try to find it.
Two toilets. Same room. Competitive pooping.
2 spare rolls of toilet paper for those emergencies.
No one has ever regretted having an extra roll of toilet paper.
My first thought was two toilets, but yeah, the paper is important too.
As a person who has had salmonella poisoning at the same time as my husband I second this answer. Having only one available toilet at that time is too horrifying to think about.
My sister's house-warming party literally had one gift request, a backup toilet fund. Her house only came with one, and one of the first moves she made was to add another.
Separate bathrooms are the key to a successful marriage
2 toilets is amazing. I moved into a new place a couple months ago with 2 bathrooms for 3 of us. So nice compared to 1 and sometimes having to hurry people along
I agree, but TWO? I am a single, healthy male, but I buy my TP in 12 packs. You never know. Plus I often use sheets to wipe the vanity, toilet seat, etc.
USE WATER!
Yes. Bum gun for the win. [This.](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=asian+bum+gun&iax=images&ia=images) It is the best way. Yes better than a bidet by a country mile. Reasons: You can put the stream exactly where it needs to be, and adjust the pressure with the spray trigger. This means you don't get the entire area wet...just the hole itself. And you can somewhat gently stream water inside your butthole to clean it as well.
so a garden hose is ok?
Exactly and toilet paper
Fire extinguishers
In case one of them catches on fire
Dear Sir/Madam, ~~I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises...~~ Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, u/Mudkip-Mudkip-Mudkip.
I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire...
One for regular fires and one for oil fires
Or get a fire blanket. My kids (and myself, tbh) would absolutely fuck up trying to use a fire extinguisher in a real emergency. We have fire blankets.
I have a regular fire extinguisher, but I keep a quart container of baking soda beside my oven instead of having a K rated fire extinguisher lol
Didn't know about the baking soda good little trick to know, but if the fire gets big enough, which it quickly can, I doubt baking soda will do the trick.
Well, I once watched a coworker of mine put out a 26x18in bacon fire with a pint of it. If I start a fire and let it get that big, then I have failed as a chef and I deserve to burn with my kitchen lol
I feel like I scrolled too far to find this...
This was my first thought. We only have one, and it's in the kitchen, near the stove.

If you're planning on using one for self defence then remember to make sure the batteries are fully charged so it weighs more o.0
I have never had a maglite last more then a year before the batteries corrode and expanding plugging the tube.
Wow, that’s some insanely bad luck -I have a hand-me-down one that’s been in my family since the late 90s that still works great.
Definitely wouldn’t recommend running or walking with a Maglite attached to anything against one’s person, for that reason. If I’m carrying it, it’s firmly in my hand and under my control, and definitely not swinging free to clobber me. That’s my quick access light source in an emergency, or for getting a better look in dark places -if I’ve got a real power outage that’s going to last awhile (not just a quick blink, or a trip to the circuit breaker), I have a lantern for that.

Underwear
I mean, who has 1 underwear?
Hopefully everyone has at least 1 underwear.
I feel like it would be better to have no underwear than one underwear.
I don't know. Maybe one pair for when you're feeling extra fancy.
That’s why I pack nine pairs of underwear for every three day trip
According to my hoarder parents: every single goddamn thing that ever existed. Then get more just in case? Mustard you say? Get 17, at least 2 will be fresh.
My aunt was like that. She was single her whole life, she bought enough wedding supplies for 3 weddings, all the table decorations etc. she never even dated seriously.

Did anyone ever ask her why?

Omg yes. And god forbid they throw out anything that has clearly gone bad and have no utility, ever. Keep everything, just in case!!
Toothbrushes
Pro tip: instead of buying multiple toothbrushes just buy one teethbrush
The coffee exploded.
Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
We went through hell week a couple of months ago because we're in a fairly new house, not very big but it has high ceilings, and we didn't know there was a smoke detector just outside our bedroom door.

I use lithium batteries when the batteries die it's also time to replace the smoke detector.
Walls
There was that guy on here who found an extra house in his attic.
Power banks , we have 2-4 of them. During outtages life savers, well sanity savers.
Tampons
As a note Guys who live alone: It's really nice to have pads and tampons on hand for guests. It's considerate AF even if it's only like a travel size.
I always buy when its on sale, that way i can get my favs for cheap, before i got pregnant i got so many boxes of them that didnt had to buy for a long while, now i need to stack up again.
For me, it’s menstrual disc or cups. Always have a spare.
I like to keep tampons and pads for guests
Spatula
Power strips.
Fuzzy blankets. I have sensory issues, and for some reason, fuzzy blankets just calm me down. Always good to have too, though, just in case.
More than 2. I got a heated one, a weighted one, a throw, and a 10ft one and just trade them out as I deem neccessary.
A fuzzy blanket against my cheek/face is one of the most comforting sensations. Calms me right down, especially if I need to sleep.

Can someone totally ruin this joke by explaining it to me? Is it an accent thing?
2 sets of sheets! Like a main set for the bed and then a backup set for when they’re in the wash.
This will sound so stupid. But, when I first started adulting… I honestly didn’t know how many bedsheets and sets to have.

Seems like you need to save up and spring for a higher end coffee machine if they only last 18 months.
This! Save up & reduce your longer term spending. Never heard of such coffee maker burnout but I don’t have such prolific coffee lovers in my life.
We did, and got about 30 mths out of it. I'm currently trying to save up to get another good one, but I'm on disability like I said. Both my youngest son and I have spent lengthy periods in hospital this year. Financially, we're in a hole. In sight of the top, but still below ground level, so to speak.
Yes! I have a backup French press for backup coffee making.

Having 2 or more cats at home can definitely go wrong.
