15 Most Commonly Hoarded Things

 If you are anything like us, then your room is filled with items of no use or value that you've kept for one reason or another, never to throw out incase you need it one day. Ironically its when you do throw it out that you find a use for it.


Here's 15 commonly Hoarded Things


1. Old Birthday cards. Some from several years ago.
2. Buttons from various clothes you have bought, some from clothes you no longer own
3. Sympathy Clothes - those clothes you got off relatives you wore once to show you liked it, and then buried in the bottom of your drawer.
4. Paper that contained important information from 3 years ago that is no longer relevant.
5. Some token reminiscent of a decade long passed - for example, we have a variety of Tazo's, Pokemon cards and yu gi oh cards. What do you have?
6. That one book someone bought you. The one you never read that sits still untouched on the bookshelf.
7. A Stuffed toy from your childhood, which usually sits in or on top of the cupboard.
8. Old CD's. The songs may be on your computer, but the CD's are still there. Or, perhaps its records your keeping.
9. Trinkets and ornaments you have been given. They may hold some sentimental value, they may not, either way, they sit on the shelf collecting dust and we never throw them out. Until, that is, they break :'(
10.  Rapidly expanding collection of Enviro bags that you forget to take with you when you go shopping.
11. Awards - not the important, degree type awards where they say you're a qualified professional. Those awards that you won in sports games, or in school, or at a competition.
12. Cables to electricals. Perhaps you have upgraded, perhaps you got a replacement, and now all that remains are the wires that came with it. Its usually in a tangled mess and has long become useless.
13. Receipts. Usually kept because they are important for warranties and the like, but sometimes fade, or become ripped, or the item is no longer in a returnable condition, and yet the receipts are still kept.
14. Those 3D glasses you get at the cinema when you go to watch a 3D movie. You keep them with the idea that you'll reuse them, but every time you go, you forget to bring them and buy another pair, only to add them to the collection when you get home to be forgotten the next time.
15. Random keys. At this stage no one remembers what they go to, but you don't want to throw them out, just incase.


We think its time for a clean out.

15 Signs You're Addicted to Facebook

It has recently come to our attention that many people we know are what we consider to be addicted to Facebook. 


Upon their denial and refusal to accept that anyone who knows more about what is happening on Facebook than they do in real life and suffers from Facebook withdrawals over a weekend has a problem, we decided it was time to put together a list to prove it to them.


So here's 15 signs you are a Facebook addict. If you experience any of these, remember the first step to breaking an addiction is admitting you have a problem. 

1. You check your account every day, multiple times a day
2. You sign in, look at the news feed, sign out, begin to do something else and sign back in again almost a minute later
3. It’s your homepage
4. You’ve never missed a status from anyone for more than two weeks.
5. You're on Facebook while out with friends
6. You feel a compulsion to let everyone know what you are doing, even if you are just going to bed
7. You check in everywhere.
8. You are always signed in, either on your computer, or on a mobile, sometimes both.
9. You post upwards of 10 statuses a day
10. Most of your conversations start with “Did you see on Facebook”
11. You will go back through all the posts until you reach the last one you read, even if this means going over 3 day or more posts
12. You have 1000 Facebook friends but don’t actually know most of them
13. You watch your newsfeed more than the actual news
14. You judge people based on their grammar and spelling.
15. You update your Facebook relationship status to ”Married” at the alter.

15 Things You Should Never Say Whilst Travelling On Public Transport.

This post's topic came as a result from something that happened to a friend while travelling home on the train. This is what they said.


I was sitting on the train, trying to read a book. There were these people sitting three rows in front of me, talking really loud. It was something to do with someone's relationship or whatever, I wasn't really listening. Anyway, I tried to block them out and continue reading. Then one of them said something that shocked me. I couldn't believe they'd actually said that out loud, on a full train! 


Instead of saying exactly what the comment was, we've included it into out list of 15 things you should never say whilst travelling on public transport.

1. Religious discussions. Regardless if its anti or pro religious, just don't start. You're bound to annoy or insult someone, and that could just end badly.

2. Politics. We respect you have an opinion, you just don't have to share it, especially with someone you don't even know.

3. That mass sum of money you just won. (and if you do so happen to mention it in a whisper, avoid saying that you still have the cheque, or worse, the cash.)

4. Please refrain from insulting the woman across from you by pointing out how badly she is dressed. It may be true, but you should at least wait until after they get off to laugh. Or for my bilingual friends, be quite positive they to don't speak your language.

5. Your results from the doctors. Believe us, no one near you needs to know that you have not contracted anything after that one night stand.

6. Your encounter with someone whose gender is still not clear, or the events that took place therein.

7. Having an argument on a mobile phone. Commenting that your boyfriend has been to jail as a threat is not a good idea either.

8. For the women passengers, your time of the month. No one but you, and perhaps your doctor, needs to know that, especially those sitting around you.

9. When gossiping, never use full name of the people you are discussing. You never know if the people around you are friends or relatives of them.

10. Boasting about how you fare evade and never get caught. 

11. How to avoid jail time by lying to the judge or blaming it on another person. You probably shouldn't admit that this is how you got out of it too.

12. Discussing how a newly released movie you just saw is the best thing ever and explaining everything that happens in it, in detail.

13. Mentioning how much you actually torrent. 

14. Any topics of conversation that could be deemed inappropriate to talk about if your grandmother was sitting next to you.  

15. What happened on the last episode of Jersey Shore. No one cares.

15 ways to annoy your older sister.

Anyone with an older sister knows just how much fun bugging them can be. They know exactly what to do and say to get on their nerves. They plan their moves for the best response, choose their moments, tactics, excuses and routes of escape before attempting the risky move. They have being annoying down to an art. We certainly have.


Here at Fifteen, we've compiled a list of 15 things that we do to annoy our older sisters. These tried and tested methods are just some of the ways we annoy. 


 But we must warn you. Proceed with caution. An angry sister is not the best person to reason with, especially when they have your phone.


1. Ask questions. Stupid questions, random questions, questions you already know the answer to.
2. Stand in the doorway of her room. You don't actually have to say anything, eventually she will get annoyed at you standing there.
3. Borrow something from her room without permission and 'loose' it.
4. Swap her bottle of hairspray with an empty one.
5. Have a conversation with her when she's talking to someone else on the phone, replying to everything she says as if she was talking to you.
6. If they have a social network account, for example, Facebook, post an update about how much they adore their sibling, i.e you, and how much they could not live without you. Repeat as much as necessary.
7. Send them a text when they are trying to send a text to someone else. One letter at a time.
8. Burst into their room singing an annoying song, (we recommend Rebecca Black's 'Friday') at the top of your lungs. This works well when they are on the phone (and it's actually friday).
9. Talk loudly to someone while they are trying to watch television or a movie.
10. Graffiti their mirror (with a whiteboard marker)
11. Randomly throw pillows at them.
12. Tell them about your day, every small insignificant detail including what you had for lunch, where you ate it and what the time was when you started and finished.
13. Answer their phone and have a conversation with their friends before you put them on.
14. Flick the lights on and off.
15. Follow them around the house.


Happy Annoying.

Fifteen Sequels and Prequels You Weren't Expecting Them to Make.

In a completely unrelated event, we at 15 stumbled across what could only be described as a mistake made by hollywood. Another Bridget Jones Movie. 


This got us thinking. What other Prequels and Sequels are they planning on making? We went to the one place we knew we could get the answer. We went to imdb.com. The Internet Movie Database. And so began our list of 15 Sequels and Prequels you weren't expecting them to make. Enjoy.


1. Monsters University (2013) - The prequel to Monsters Inc. where Mike and Sully are at the University of Fear.
2. Austin Powers 4 (2013)
3. Independence Day 2 and 3 (2013/2014)

8. Gump & Co. (2013) - Forrest Gump Sequel - "A follow-up to the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," where the film's dim-witted hero stumbles through historical events in the 1980s and '90s." 
9. Police Academy 8 (2012)
10. Jurassic park IV 
11.  2012: the war for souls (2014) - The Sequel to 2012, in 2014 - Which doesn't make sense because the world has ended. But heres the story line. Straight from IMDB -
"Story follows an academic researcher who opens a portal into a parallel universe and makes contact with his double in order to stop an apocalypse foreseen by the ancient Mayans" 
12. Kill Bill: vol. 3 (2014) - They Do realised they killed Bill in the last one, right? Bill is dead already...
13. Top Gun 2 - With Tom Cruise
14. The Human Centipede 2 and 3 (2011 & 2013.)  No. Just no.
15. Yellow Submarine (2012) - A 3D remake of the Beetles animated movie where the band travels in their Yellow Submarine to Pepperland to defeat the evil Blue Meanies.



We haven't yet figured out whether its a good or a bad thing some of these movies are being made, but you can judge  for yourself when they actually appear on screen.
