    If you enjoy having something around or it means something to you, what does it matter whether it was free garbage or some $300 teapot?

    When I see people collecting “valuable,” non-garbage things in the hope they will be worth more in the future, it seems pathetic and I feel kind of sorry for them. So I suppose it’s a different piece of worldview among us in this conversation that comes from an attitude toward objects that’s probably formed in childhood.

    I don’t collect them all, but I have several unusually pretty wine bottles and a collection of beer bottles that are kind of unique one way or another, including bottles of American beer that are marked “imported” because I bought them in the UK.

    I wouldn’t be likely to look at Sarper’s collection and immediately think it was tied to the past. I might think it was a bit juvenile or bachelor-y, but I can’t look at my own decor and judge that that’s a character flaw or something.

    It was like Shariyah was trying to find things to complain about - - at first she thought they were full of alcohol and his bar was too extensive, and then she had to figure out a reason that empty bottles were a red flag, when I still maintain she could employ her time there better.
