Monkey Paw

An adjective; describing one's tendency to hold on to many items collected at random displaying extreme resistance to discard. Monkey paw is often prevalent in those who use stimulants and can strike at any moment. It is especially apparent when a person is trying to accomplish a simple task such as screwing in a lightbulb.

Oh boy! Looks like monkey paw is in full force today!... (as I look down and I'm white knuckling pliers, nail polish, a lighter I had given up on looking for, a bottle of water in my wing, and a paint brush).
