Why Do You Own a Poker Caddy if You Don’t Play Poker?

Another “New Uses for Old Vices” from January’s Real Simple. Yeah um, this one caught my eye first because I was like, um, wait, what? If you have managed to stop playing Poker — because you are a gambling addict and you are destroying your life with it — then please, throw the damn caddy into the trash. Right now. First thing they probably tell you to do at a Gamblers Anonymous meeting! But, y’know if you have the caddy because you’ve always wanted to start a friendly poker game, then I think it’s still early enough in the year to get going on this social and fun New Year’s resolution.

But if you don’t think you’ll be doing the poker game, or your kids have pilfered the chips over the years so it is now unuseable, then consider donating said item to Goodwill. Why? Because gluing a poker chip to the bottom, and then carefully placing cards in the open slots to keep pens in is as ridiculous as building a house of cards and thinking you can let your 6 year old play dolls in it. Yes. It’s that ridiculous. 

As for what personality type would create this idea? Maybe a SUPER bored Classic (SJ) or equally bored Organic Structure (NFJ) but I really don’t want to malign these two types. Maybe they did it as a utensil caddy for a poker themed party and then had trouble parting with it?? So again, if you own a poker caddy and you don’t play poker? Either start playing, throw the thing in the trash, or donate it to Goodwill.
