clean flat surfaces

Recommended Posts

What is it about a clean flat surface that invites people to place things on it?

Is it that clean flat surfaces are unnatural and things piled on said surface are more in tune with physical reality?

Or could it be aesthetic? Perhaps things piled on flat surfaces are more pleasing to, or easier on, the eye?

I dunno. I do know that whenever I create a clean flat surface it doesn't take long before someone puts something(s) on it.

see I ask the same question about a clean empty sink.

some people see a clean empty sink and think, "hey this looks nice! If I rinse my dish when I'm done with it and put it in the dishwasher, it will still look nice!"

other people see a clean empty sink and think, "hey look at all this room for me to pile disgusting shit!"

AHHHHH AHHHHH aHHHHHHH

I have a freakin' dishwasher, right there!!!! I never ever leave clean dishes in it. Why do you insist on putting dishes in the sink, filled with water, so I have to get all sloppy and gross trying to fill up my Brita.

Whoa....sorry dude....that shit just made me flash back to an ex.

Rinse? You rinse?

Didn't you take high school chemistry? The process is called osmosis. Basically osmosis says that if you have an area of less stuff, and an area of more stuff, the stuff tends to diffuse to the area of less stuff. Works for bacteria, plants, lofts and lab benches.

A golf club can cure this problem RIGHT up



One of those grill lighters with no fluid works even better. You have to put up with some stink, but they'll learn real quick.
