A person who never closes windows when they are done with them, but simply minimizes them. This is especially relating to web browser windows. The person's rational for doing this is the same as what New Hampshire's new state motto should be: It Might Come In Handy.
Example of one situation in which a person might be a minimizing addict:
"I googled his name, but hardly any websites came up, so I thought hmm, maybe I spelled it wrong... so I minimized Google, and opened a new browser window and went to his college's website, but I couldn't find him there either, so I thought wait! I think he transfered! So I minimzed that window, and opened a new one to go to the other college, and then...."

Get the minimizing addict mug.When one adheres to the allowable number of side dishes for a buffet lunch/dinner, but takes such large portions as to skirt the rules and deny others sustenance.
John said to Matt and Betsy as they stand in the lunch line, "Look at that bastard Tommy! He's not oversiding today. Instead, he's maxisiding on cottage cheese and fruit. I swear if there isn't any cottage cheese or fruit left for me I'm going to pancake his yam sack in front of everyone!

Get the Maninizing mug.Religious people do it all the time in defense of the bible! See LITERALLY ANY apologist when speaking about Leviticus. "It's not CHATTEL SLAVERY like in America. It's the better version of slavery!"
Hym "Is it minimizing slavery to say that I work for little more than food and housing? I spend all my money on food, AT THE PLACE I WORK and am essentially working for free because they have effectively outsourced the feeding and the housing OF me to ME and the benefits and security and personal agency I'm SUPPOSED TO HAVE under the auspices of 'Freedom' are not a thing that exist for me. I am LITERALLY in a situation from which I either need to escape from or endure."
I-dot "You're undermining slavery in America!"

Hym "Nothing I'm saying has any effect on historical American slavery! It happened. Neither of use were there. BOTH OF USE ARE HERE NOW AND WE BOTH BENEFIT FROM THE REMEDIATION OF THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT! You motherfuckers need to USE YOUR OWN SHIT-BRAINS to contextualize the things I say so I don't have to keep doing it for you! Not everyone has the problem you're having. Have you heard the term 'wage slave?' You're argument is literally 'Talking about implicit bonded slavery (in that I have to give myself to a business owner (regardless of my quality of life or needs) to pay off the perpetual debt that accrues by nature of existing) undermines chattel slavery' WRONG! Both can be bad! You don't have a monopoly on things that are bad! And it's the REGARDLESS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND NEEDS PART that makes it akin to slavery. Bonded slavery and NOT the one that I'M NOT FUCKING TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW! JESUS CHRIST! DO YOU WANT A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE WORKING CLASS OR NO!? JESUS!"
I-dot "Then get a different job!"
Hym "THAT'S 'ESCAPING' FUCK-FACE! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO ESCAPE THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THEN SAYING I'M MINIMIZING SLAVERY! OHMYGOD YOU ALL FRUSTRATE ME!"
