I'm the same way, man. I get emotionally attached to flotsam and it can be downright heartbreaking when it comes time to toss it out. On at least one occasion I've caught myself talking to the object in question, like giving it a fucking eulogy. I project a certain human quality onto these items to the point where some of the things I own are more like pets than appliances.
Fucking weird I know. I remember when I was a kid, I fucking cried when the family car stopped working and had to be sold.
