The Mike Stories, Pt. 5

i don't like storing things up high for a number of reasons. right up near the top of the list is the fact that i'm short, and can't see (nevermind reach) things that are stored up high. i also live in Washington and we occasionally have earthquakes here, and i'm not fond of crap falling on my head. stuff stored on top of refrigerators, cabinets, and the like also tends to look messy. in short it's a big pet peeve of mine.

here comes the Mike part... Mike knows i don't like it. i've told him a billion and one times that i don't like it. i periodically go through the apartment (step stool in tow) and clean off all of the crap he's been collecting up high, on top of non-storage type objects....

...yet, like clockwork, crap keeps appearing up there. he's driving me crazy. he knows it, but he's still doing it. i don't get it.

...how do you train a man to put things away in the right place? not just hide them up high where i can't see them? (or where they look like a mess, just a mess up high)?
