Embracinghumorand playfulness as often as you could is the best way to go through life!
Someone who definitely seems to get this philosophy is Redditor u/Amstroid.
The internet user recently shared one of the most wholesome petty revenge stories weve ever seen online.
Heopened upabout how his mom keeps donating junk to him.
However, his plan backfiredin the best possible way.
Scroll down for the full story.
Youll find our full interview withu/Amstroidas you read on.
That always stayed in my head as a funny prank, he told Bored Panda.
There are so many options on Amazon for 100+ plastic ducks.
I bought a bag to hide them randomly in my own house for my kids to find them.
And then I just started hiding the other 199 ducks everywhere I could.
And by everywhere, I really mean everywhere.
According to the author, his mom loves the duck hide-and-seek idea.
She never knows when shell find one.
Yesterday, she found the 112th duck, and I told her there were 200 ducks hidden.
But she doesnt know that I have another 200 ducks lying in my car.
And another 50 bigger ones, 50 glow-in-the-darks, and 500 googly eyes.
She has forbidden me to tell her where they are because shes having a chuckle every time finds one.
However, there was less certainty about how shed react after the 5th, 10th, etc.duck.
So far, though, the revenge plan has been wildly successful and amusing for everyone!
We were extremely curious about what else the author has planned to amuse his mom in the near future.
He finds it strange that so many people think its an issue.
(The internet is great for that kind of thing.)
There is no point in keeping everything and letting it go to waste if you could help someone else.
So, some of us keep hold of those possessions.
We might bury them deep in our drawers and closets or pile them up in boxes in our garages.
At least someone else will find it useful, right?
You wont get any negativity or holier-than-thou judgment from any of us because parting with things is hard.
No matter if the item in question is sentimental or not.
(And who here doesnt have a box of random wires and techno-knick-knacks?)
What you do with it will depend on each particular thing.
Some things youll probably want to donate to your local charity shop.
You might get rid of others by hosting a small garage sale for your local community.
But you should not feel guilty about throwing a big chunk of items away, either.
Unfortunately, there are many other people around the world who do, and they require help.
With that being said, hoarding symptoms can occur in young children, too.
Symptoms first emerge between the ages of 11 and 15.
By the persons mid-twenties, the hoarding disorder first starts to interfere with their everyday functioning.
By their mid-thirties, the individual might be significantly impaired.
Meanwhile, around a fifth of hoarders also haveobsessive-compulsivedisorder.
There are situations where the line between common sense pragmatism and hoarding is very fine indeed.
At times, its hard to know that the issue is deeper and more pressing than it seems.
In some cases, individuals can have mild versions of the disorder.
There are milder and more serious variants of the disorder.
In some cases, the persons daily life might not be impacted all that much.
Broadly speaking, people suffering from hoarding disorder believe that they need to save their possessions.
They might feel distressed at the very idea of having to get rid of some of their things.
And they might end up being surrounded by a very large number of items at home.
They may think that their things are unique, might be useful, or have sentimental value.
These individuals also tend to have issues with planning and organization.
The internet absolutely loved the duck story.
Heres a few of them
Thanks!
