Ever walk by a co-worker's desk and spy an open drawer brimming with office supplies, even though there's a well-stocked, easily accessible supply closet on the premises? Well, if they're hoarding office supplies at work, there's a good chance they're hoarding them at home too.

Professional organizer Matt Paxton, who has appeared on A&E's 'Hoarders,' talks about a retired Eastman Kodak office assistant whose closets were stuffed with more than 20 years worth of mostly obsolete office supplies, like carbon paper and typewriter erasers. He told MSNBC he believes that there's a hoarder in every family, and at least one in every office as well.
