We had these can grippers and would cut off the top of a can of beans, heating them up next to the fire. The gripper allowed you to to hold the hot can.I remember when we would go camping/fishing/hunting and Dad could not wait to eat pork and beans straight out of the can. Mom saw that as barbaric behavior and he couldn't get away with it at home. But as soon as we got in the boat or out in the woods he whipped out the p38 and opened a can of pork and beans - straight out of the can! He always said that's the way they were meant to be eaten.
My Grandma would keep straws in a drawer just for us grandkids when we came for Sunday dinner. I'm sure she washed them and kept them for next time. We all learned the hard way to check inside the straws for a dead roach.A friends mom owned a cafe and would wash and reuse the plastic straws. Ewwww!

Lot of truth to that. It may not be the next day, but very soon after you toss it. And that's regardless of how many years you've had it.My Dad used to save everything that he might use someday. He said that the day after you threw something away, you would find a use for it. His motto was to keep everything for seven years. If you hadn't found a use for it in seven years, keep it another seven years.

Eccentric behaviors...where to start?
There is this online forum where these people just talk about how much they love guns. One of their ringleaders is always trying to get them to post new pictures. It's a strange place.
My dad kept everything and fixed everything. He was always able to find a part that would work to fix whatever was broken.My Dad used to save everything that he might use someday.

Does having a full serving set of Cool Whip containers count? My grandparents were depression era babies. Hard to throw away anything that may be found useful later. We literally had two dozen frickin cool whip "bowls" that we'd use as cereal or soup bowls. We had glass bowls, nice ones at that, but you were chided to use the plastic at every opportunity.
I keep joking with the Mrs. that some day we'll be grown ups and have a matching set of drinking glasses instead of plastic take-out cups and who even knows where we got 'em Libby 16 oz. tumblers.
I've started to get cups from other places: Cowboy Chicken has some cool orange ones; Fuzzies' Tacos; the ballpark in Frisco has some cool ones; Newks has a rotating selection of different colors.This reminds me of cleaning out my grandparents place after they both had passed. Piles and piles of meat trays, take out containers, butter tubs, you name it, my grandmother saved them. I don't know how she managed to fit so many into such a small kitchen but she did.
Heh. We have a matching set of glasses but we never use them except when company comes over. Usually it's Tervis tumblers or Rudy's cups for us.
