Yeah, I remember it... For my grandmother, it was three things...
-
Every time she went shopping, she'd get two pounds of butter. She had 20+ pounds of butter in her freezer when I visited once. She said "they were on sale"... but the best before dates spanned over a year.
-
She said the phone was broken, because she couldn't call any of her friends. She lost the ability to copy the numbers from her address book to the phone properly.
-
She was also hoarding cash. There was almost $3k in cash on the kitchen table in an envelope. So much money in small bills that the envelope was stuffed full. I took all but $250 to the bank to deposit it.
