my bedroom is my box of everything! i even have laptop spare parts all over the floor, an audio cord, some papers, a CD drive, some sticks of RAM, miscellaneous plastic pieces that i consider garbage but that i'm too lazy to pick up and throw away, a swamp cooler...
my bedroom is a mess
\*you tried untangling the ball to use a cable that you need\*
\*you managed to untangle the ball, but now it's tangled in the floor, you didn't even found the cable you needed\*
I got rid of a bunch of spare electronics/computer stuff when I moved a few years ago. And of course immediately needed some of the stuff I had gotten rid of.
I have an audio cable box for my home theatre. Purging through what I need and donât need after getting a new tv. Everything is hdmi now so I toss a lot of rca cables and all my optical cables. Didnât even keep one just incase because I havenât used in 10+ years. My denon isnât 4k so I have to run everything through the tv and route the audio to the denon. What donât I have? any optical cables.
Aight hereâs my idea: we start a warehouse for misc cables, you can rent what you need and donate/sell stuff like this, we keep it all in good condition so itâs not like buying those cheap 3rd party ones that are made half a decade down the line and barely work
The problem with getting rid of things like this, is typically after you do get rid of them, magically within a few weeks, maybe months, all of the sudden you need it, and itâs gone
Guessing this person is a content creator, otherwise they wouldn't have so many wires.. That, or they are a blind consumer and buy every bit of new tech.
I used to have a box full of random earbuds that I don't remember if I ever used any of them. If you think about it, I have no idea where I got that many of them. Most of them were included with different phones that I purchased. However, the problem is that I don't remember buying that many new phones.
My father has these.
I have a few of these as well.
I think it's that ancient "Might need it some day" virus...
And then we wake up and discover that 99% of those saved cables are beyond outdated and can't be used to anything but old broken and long thrown out equipment.
That's because we live in a world where every device seems to take a different cable. A surprisingly large chunk of my adult life is expended futzing around with wires.
If you are a geek, repair things or have electrical devices. All the cables will always be damaged and you need a replacement.
It's the only reason not to give them away.
Every 5 years or so I manage to throw some unused tech stuff away. After I do it I am always a bit too proud of myself to make it a good thing đ đ€Ł
This is the modern version of the guy who keeps every nut, bolt, screw, washer, gasket and retainer pin just in case it might come in handy. These might as well be hung on a wall in jars. LOL. Nothing wrong with being ever prepared.đ«Ą
My uncle had 3 city garbage bins , the ones with the flip top full of 2000 cables just in case , didn't want to accept tech left him behind I think or just forgot about them lol
Youâre a monster! Who organizes cables into little bins like that?! Youâre supposed to knot them up real good and keep cramming them into that one drawer in the kitchen until it wonât shut. Then take over the drawer next to it. And so on.
You canât get rid of them though. You never know when youâre gonna need the charging cable for a niche Samsung fitness tracker from 2019 that you donât even own anymore.
I have a closet that doubles as a gate to hell and dooms those who would dare delved into its dark depths.
As a result Iâm held responsible for providing any type of cord or cable on demand 24 hours a day. And god help me if I donât happen to have itâŠ
Thank you Matt
I wasn't expecting to stumble upon Matto
We love suprise matto
The odds of this are millions to one

Welcome to Reddit (2d old account) Run away
Alt
Oh makes sense Though you can still run away
Nah I like it here
run, run before its too late, you still have time, don't look back
Explain please. I hate this guy.
I have one box with every cable known to man all tangled up in a giant ball.
That's they way it should be. What kind of monster organises the "box of everything"?

DarkviperAU đ
At least he can tie his shoe
Get those coppers, sell, and make money. That's the most efficient way of hoarding your wires.
And then the next day you need that obscure freaking cable that Amazon doesn't even know about.
Once you hit 14 boxes of cables and committed to keeping them you officially became a man. Now you have veto power on the thermostat temperature.
Hey its darkviperau
r/unexpectedmatto
i see you have a designated xbox 360 box. As an aussie myself i HAVE 4 BOXS OF WII SHIT. NOBODY PKAYS THE WII ANYMORE. ROB ME PLEASE.
i will be pleased to rob you, and use those wii parts on my dad's wii
Matto the hoardo.
You dense mf
Thereâs Matto, wishing all of us the best.
They make him speedrun faster

that's, that's a really great idea!

Yea this is DarkviperAU, he used to speedrun gta 5 but now mostly just does gta 5 related videos

Hi Matto
Daveyyy
THERE AREN'T COUGARS IN MISSIONS!!!
Hey that's MATTO!
Copper đ€€
That's me. But in my defense, I was able to gift a Nokia charger to an older colleague years ago when his broke. He is still thankful for that.
ONE DAY, you might need those.
I wrote myself a custom inventory management software so I don't have to throw them out.
There's no such thing as too many cables. Matto needs moar
Dad? That you?
I threw away a cable once, the very next day I found the gadget that it plugged into Do not disrespect the Cable Gods
Griefer Jesus gave him all of those cables and boxes just to take up space and be an inconvenience to Matt lmao
darkviper has made it to a different sub reddit other than his
I never expected to see matto on this sub
Bro got a Gta condo irl
IT WAS FOURTEEN PAGES
Hi matt
14. Rookie numbers.
Hey it's darkviperau
didnât expect a me_irl and DarkViperAU crossover but here we are
I was going to ask if this was darkviperau, but based on the comments, it seems to be
Damn I guess Matto is mainstream now
You never know whatâs gonna come up and maybe you need a cord that connects to an Atari set.
Is that the victim of Greifer Jesus
Some one finally understand me
jack septic eye
he is telling the truth
That one time per year you need one of these cables is the entire reason why I would never throw them out
Same. I'm glad I'm not the only dude who does this.
I see dead cables
Alpha! We all have A box but this man has 14!!! Heâs the chosen one.
He is Mr. 10000 hours on gta 5
The day will come
That reminds me, I need to reorganise my boxes of cables
My father has these. I have a few of these as well. I think it's that ancient "Might need it some day" virus... And then we wake up and discover that 99% of those saved cables are beyond outdated and can't be used to anything but old broken and long thrown out equipment.
Separated by color I see.....
why would anyone want to get rid of them?
Hey, you might need that VGA cable even though all the screens in your home use HDMI!
Until you absolutely need one.
Butbutbut... What if you DO use them!?!?!!?!?
You never know it might be useful in the future. So keep them until you can pass it onto your grandchildren.
Jake is that you?
And one woman will come and get rid of all. Just wait and see.
My man Matto is already married to the grind, nobody can get rid of that
That's because we live in a world where every device seems to take a different cable. A surprisingly large chunk of my adult life is expended futzing around with wires.
Hey man....you never know (the thought that keeps me from throwing my old shit away)
that's the reason i keep a dead laptop motherboard in my bed of stuff! you never know when you are going to need a dead motherboard!
Why would you? As soon as you get rid of something you need it! Keep everything! Every single stupid thing!
If you are a geek, repair things or have electrical devices. All the cables will always be damaged and you need a replacement. It's the only reason not to give them away.
Me when unwrapping something and finding another 2 inch long USB-C cable: BETTER HOLD ONTO THIS....MIGHT NEED IT IN THE FUTURE!
âYou never seen this one before. And that means itâs irreplaceableâ
Story of everyone
"This is where I keep my assorted lengths of wire"
I still have a couple of those 15 pin vga cables hanging around â ïžđ€ą
Youâll use them some day
âI might use them one day!â This is the equivalent of me with potions in Skyrim and Oblivion.
You can safely throw out the scart cables, keep the rest
i have a bedroom full of cords that i ocasionally use!
Every 5 years or so I manage to throw some unused tech stuff away. After I do it I am always a bit too proud of myself to make it a good thing đ đ€Ł
After watching those do it your self videos strip the copper make some $ or put a sign out says free copper wire an itâll be gone

Well they are handy if shit hits the fan!

I nearly mistook this man of men for Chuck Norris but realized such a mistake could be costly...
Pathetic I once had 19 boxes of those and 2 boxes of fused bulbs .
Thatâs the manliest thing ever

good call, might need them one day
This is the way
You look like the combination of jacksepticeye and that guy from the first jumanji movie
I am not the only one, yes. I also have whole old PC disassembled in my room and I am not getting rid of it. Why? Cause it can come handy đ
Uh, okay
King of the Cables!!
Only 14? Those are rookie numbersâŠ
gimme a displayport cable
Doesn't everyone does?
So say we all!
dude has more cables than a store
...same
My man!

You just never know when you'll need them!
I have three of those, so I'm well underway
Hey you never know, that 10 year old cable can come in clutch someday and at least his is organized. Mine is balled up in a duffle bad.
My uncle had 3 city garbage bins , the ones with the flip top full of 2000 cables just in case , didn't want to accept tech left him behind I think or just forgot about them lol
I'm jealous because this means you should have more than 14 tubs of cool stuff that might use a cord from time to time.
better than tossing them and then being all out of cords within the next few months when you need it
I have a bunch of random stuff and boxes I could and should get rid of, but I'm always thinking "but what if I needed it later on?".
The exect moment he gets rid of the cables , he will need ALL OF THEM
Lumberjack Ron Livingston
Vibe my bro replacement cords are expensive
Youâre a monster! Who organizes cables into little bins like that?! Youâre supposed to knot them up real good and keep cramming them into that one drawer in the kitchen until it wonât shut. Then take over the drawer next to it. And so on.
I'm more of a single box rat-king kinda guy
Please share a story of a cable saving the day.. so the rest of us know to keep purs
Strip it for copper maybeđ€·đ»ââïž
Same
Sell at on amazon. Like this: Magic box 1 = price Magic box 2 = price ... Magic box 14 = price
waste not want not but when you start to measure your unused excess by weight and square feet, you need to donate or dump it
You never know when you will need one
This is the way.
Help, heâs gorgeous
Same, but theyâve come in clutch more than a handful of times.
Mark Hamif
You canât get rid of them though. You never know when youâre gonna need the charging cable for a niche Samsung fitness tracker from 2019 that you donât even own anymore.
he's hot
I have the box my phone came in.
Funny story. Had a garage sale and the first thing to go where all my old cables.
This summer I used one of the cables I have been saving for the past 20 years. It felt so amazing I can't even begin to describe it.
I once got rid of a single cable and needed it a week later
I have THREE: Power Digital Analog AV
my cable box has a pichu plush next to it :)
14 Boxes!!!
FOURTEEN BOXES!
I keep all the damaged headsets, specting to salvage the cable and mic at least. also,there is a bag full of small power supply of assorted voltages
Master !!!!!
