Interesting that you like to rip clothing past its usefulness because I do the same thing! If a shirt or a pair of jeans gets a hole in it I wind up shredding them. Some people might sew or patch them or continue to wear them even but not me. They might even donate them to charity. I have donated items in good condition that I no longer fit into or don't wear anymore, but something worn out I annihilate and rip into shreds until satisfied that it is completely gone and can't be used any more, because I would keep it if I could.

The story of your trackies made me laugh/ I used to work with a woman whose husband had false teeth. They went swimming at one of the popular state park beaches here on the Maine coast with their two teenage children. They were having a blast playing in the waves in the ocean. The husband was exiting the water when a large rogue wave hit him in the back with such force that it literally knocked his teeth out of his mouth and bowled him over. He began recruiting people on the beach to help him find his teeth, offering a small reward. His two kids were mortified and would have nothing to do with the search. Despite their best efforts they could not locate the teeth. Then a year later my coworker was reading the newspaper and burst out laughing. Someone had written an article about strange items that can be found along beaches. The author described walking on this same beach when a set of false teeth washed up at his feet and wondered what the story was behind it all. My coworker friend was going to contact the author and tell him the story and try to get the teeth back, but her husband and kids wouldn't let her. He had since acquired a new set of teeth and was too embarrassed to let anyone know it was he who had lost them.

Recently an urn of cremated ashes was found with "Grandmother" engraved on the side. The finder was trying to locate deceased's family in hopes of returning them. Apparently Granny had requested burial at sea or more likely that her ashes be spread on the ocean. I suspect the latter and guess the family either couldn't get the urn open or didn't have the courage to do so and chucked the old lady overboard instead. Hence it appears Granny will spend eternity on a shelf in the Lost and Found rather than in the sea she so dearly loved.

I now have 28 rolls of toilet paper. That's a lot for a single person living alone, but I figured I better grab it while I could as the shelves have been empty for weeks. I had to buy 12 rolls last time and 16 this time. I've been trying to figure out what to do with them all. I've thought of stacking them up and making a toilet paper play fort, doing toilet paper bowling by arranging twelve rolls as bowling pins and using another one to roll and knock them down. I might even make toilet paper curtains to be taken down as needed. Let me know if you have any other suggestions. I definitely won't be recycling it when I'm finished!

Hope I gave you a good laugh.

Cheers.
