Is there a name for the type of behavior my profesor is showing?

[Schadenfroh]

Ok, on his marker board, he has at least 15 markers, consisting of about 2 colours, with the same amount of each. On his desk, he has cups full of markers of the same color. They all work. But, even with all of these markers, he ran out of juice in his marker, he tossed it and went over to get another marker from the teacher next door, even tho he had at least 20 of that type of marker in his class room. he does not bring the marker back. So, he is accumulating more and more markers of the same type by getting more markers everytime his current one runs out, the rate at which makers come into the class room is > the amount he throws away, but with a more than adequate supply of markers avaiable to him, he still feels a need to "borrow" and never return markers from other teachers. is there a name for this type of behavior?

I would agree my ex was the same way.

She had to have at least 6 spare razors in the bathroom and would never ever use them. My poor Mach3's would be destroyed shaving legs and other areas while she had 6 brand new blades in the linen closet. I though she was being cheap but her mom said no, she always picked something out and just had to have it on hand when she was younger it was lipgloss and nail polish. She would even lock and unlock the front door of the apartment 3 times before going to bed, sometimes waking up at night to do the same thing again.
