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?
