My quirky, slightly odd obsession

Posted on: 13 September 2011

Hi, I'm Sam, and I like boxes.

Everyone has some quirk in their personality that other people will look at you in a strange way upon discovery. Mine - is boxes.

I like technology, and technology always comes in a box. If it weren't for space constraints, I'd probably still have every box anything I've ever bought came in. In my defence:

• What if I want to sell it later on?
• The box holds the memory of the joyful day the product entered my life
• I love the compactness and uniformity of boxes. The ultimate stackable item. Hours of Tetris fun right there.
• Plus, some companies make a real effort with the packaging of their products; it just seems a damn shame to chuck it.

It might be dull, but it's a harmless, yet practical obsession.
