\nYou might be a squirreler if…
\nAt your neighborhood barbecue you provide enough ketchup for everyone from MacDonalds’s little packets.
\nTake the extra soaps at the hotel room and store them in your own home for future guests.

\nIf you have more than 25 Bic pens in your desk drawer.
\nIf you have more than one year of National Geographic<\/em> stacked in a corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
