A weird collection of chronic mental illness, am I right?
Haha ! Ah ! Fuck 😑
Slight variations (dog’s collar, I support my kids weird collections), but based on this list, I’d say I’m a successful 40-something.
Hey, there’s nothing weird about my collections of vinyl records and German beer steins and uranium glass and sterling silver and quack medical devices and watches and books and pewter and brass and guitars and cameras.
I honestly started off with the intent of being funny, and then I realized how many fucking collections I have, and now I don’t really know what to do with myself.
You march your butt down to Lowes to get those big black totes so you can pile your collected items into them and stow them in a neat stack in the garage so that you have space for more collectibles. That’s what you do with yourself. Don’t forget the label maker!
Do I win something for achieving it all a few years early?
You do, but it’s just another item for your weird collection, that you obtain for yourself, to celebrate.

42
- 15000+ kms
- Yes but undiagnosed
- two but one’s not mine
- shards of flint
You collect “shards of flint”? Are you a geologist or something?
Amateur flint knapper.
That’s cool!
I turned 38 today exactly, I checked al the boxes already, I’m prepared.
Congratulations and keep wiggling!
Happy birthday! Well done on the preparation.
Thanks, to be sure I have multiple weird collections.
Funny you think I could afford to get my pets ashes back from the vet.
Yeah, no ashes here, just the collar.
46
- several friends 8000 km away, check!
- several, check!
- no ashes, but buried in a special creepy place in the backyard. We used to keep my mom’s ashes around until we buried her. Technically I could get her ashes back back. Check!
- several: mineral samples from places I’ve hiked, books, stamps, old hard disks, DVD and VHS movies, CDs…
I feel accomplished. Thanks people!
I’ve got a few years before 40, and I’m 4/4! Finally, I’m ahead of the curve for once
Tell me about your collection
It’s instruments… I can play a little bit of all of them, but none of them very well lol. I just like playing with them
An acoustic guitar, an electric guitar (I had 2 electrics, but gave my dad one with a small amp), 2 soprano ukulele’s (in case a friend wants to join), a piano keyboard, electric drum kit, harmonicas, a violin (I got it for my wife, but we both like to mess with it) and… I think that’s it. I kinda want a bass guitar one day too, just because it looks like fun
Also a small collection of cacti, and a small collection of amateur radio equipment (as well as other electronics that I like to mess with)
Time to visit my far away friends and start a collecting of their ashes
Do the ashes of friends, and family count?
Yes, yes they do
Shit
No pet ashes, but I do have treasured memories of long-gone much-loved pets.
I only have the first item.
Gotta get on it!
41 and I have the weird collection (pro wrestling memorabilia from before 1980. Toronto specific preferred) But I don’t have the friends or pet ashes, I have jars full of my live parrots feathers, which I guess is another weird collection.
