OCD?

[PeteXXX]

Last night, I lost the padlock on one of my lesser sheds. No idea where it went! It fell off the key when I swung the door open and the pixies ran off with it I reckon.

Anyways, I checked my padlock box and found a couple of spare locks and keys that'll do for the time being.

Pretty certainly I have keys for locks and stuff that I don't have, and vice versa, but I can't possibly throw any of them away in case the matching half ever turns up, can I?!

I just know that as soon as I do, I'll open a draw/box/cupboard, and sure enough, the other part will be sitting there.

I also have to hang the right helmet over over the correct bike when I settle them down for the night or it doesn't 'feel right'..

Not OCD. Your just a hoarder. MR WD has keys for things he hasn't seen for 35 years. He hoards everything on the off chance that it may come in handy one day.....

Obviously they'll come in handy! Good chap, that Mr WD.

Over the years, yes. There are keys from the last millennium in my collection. The locks might turn up one day though...

There's a couple of Squire & Yale keys there. Suprised you've lost so many cars though.

The day after you get rid of the key.

Exactly!!

The ERA lock should open if you have a key that will fit in, with a bit of raking.
Doesn't have to be the key for it.

I've never heard of someone having a 'lesser shed'.

I had no idea their was a hierarchy of such things.

Is the equality gap between lesser and (presumably) major sheds widening?
