Loosely related: if your relatives ever give you anything to sell on Facebook Marketplace or something, they will insist on some sort of insane price which will not move. You lower the price dramatically and it finally sells after weeks and weeks of just sitting there. Knowing that your boomer relative will be angry that it sold for $25 rather than 40 bajillion dollars, you lie to them and say you sold it for $45. They bitch, shit themselves, scream and cry, give you a hard time all throughout Sunday dinner and then claim they're going to sell their own stuff from now on. They never sell anything, or even attempt to do so. The end.
Oh no, not the end. At the end, you have a week to dispose of what can be charitably described as a hoard of useless boomer nonsense.
Yeah that's why I'm putting the pressure on now, while they're all still breathing on their own.
There's always more they've never told you about
Holy shit...
You can always call the second hand store to come and take everything
Reasons:
They refuse to write a will, it's now or never
They're tripping over this stuff and getting rescued by the fire department or paramedics on a semiregular basis
There are some actually valuable objects, which they cannot mentally differentiate from the junk
I don't want to deal with this on top of being sad they're dead, I'd rather do it while I'm still annoyed with them
