Chair of Shame

A chair? No. A garage of shame? Yes!!! I can't stand clutter in my house so I throw everything "for later" in the garage. It gets taken care of maybe twice a year, lol.

LOVE this question! Yes, we have a counter of shame. It's at the end of the counter and that's where all of the bills, school papers, magazines, pens, laptop, EVERYTHING ends up.

It's soooo annoying, but it is what it is.

Let's see, I have a Dryer Top of Shame, a Desk of Shame, a Bookshelf of Shame.... I could go on. I also have a pile of clothes that need to be ironed. When the pile gets big enough I take it to Goodwill.

I'm sitting at it now, while I type. It's the desk of shame... if I could tear myself away from Mamasource long enough, I'd clean it up and probably feel a whole lot better about myself!

Oh well, on to the next question!!! (LOVED your post!)

A Chair! Ha! I have a table, a corner, a ledge and at least two chairs!!! Especially this time of the year!

Chair? Heck, I have a chair, a desk, half the time my kitchen table and my coffee table. I even have a box under my coffee table with all my knitting projects (which are all in various stages of being completed).

Drives my husband insane! Some day I'll get to all of it....

Mine is called the "rat's nest"...it is the counter next to the microwave...about 2.5 feet of stuff sucking space. It piles and piles and piles there...returns, coupons, mail, pieces of kids toys, it goes on and on.

I hate the "rat's nest"!!!

I think I'm worse. I have the trunk of shame. Yes, I actually get the items in the car and they sit for weeks.

in the kitchen.. it piles up.. so now i just put them in the car.. so i take them quicker..

I like Kate B. Have a counter of Shame. Everything and I meen EVERY thing ends up there. I try to keep on it but no matter how I try I cant keep it cleared out. My Hudband has a bar stool of shame as well. thats here he puts all his stuff so he nad find it in the morning. Would be a fread Idea but half the time he still leave some "droppings" there and on the counter as well.
Sigh

THANK YOU!!!! Reading this question and all the answers have made me feel so much better!! The last 4 steps of our staircase are open with no banister, so that's where the mail ends up... along with school notices, newspapers and other random items. Sometimes I'll go through it all and condense the pile so it takes up only one step instead of all 4... not quite good enough though.
Then we have a counter in the kitchen that is always covered with junk. Usually this time of year I clear it off so I can stack cookie tins and display Christmas cards on it. Haven't had time for it cause I've been so busy baking. Now I'm eating extra cookies because I don't have a place to put them!! What is wrong with me?!? Maybe we can all take turns doing interventions at each other's houses... Goodwill would be so happy with us!! :)

The line "impalement bra" just MADE my day.

Yes. It's called the space in my kitchen that I intend to put a breakfast table. Instead of a table it contains: boxes from the basement (seasonal stuff), random things I happened to have in my hand as I walked by it, a pair of cleats that needs to be donated, a few toys, a bathrobe, a leash, laundry that is supposed to be elsewhere, 2 boxes that used to hold dishes, the sewing machine I keep meaning to mend some clothes with (since July), the list goes on. I got it clear for thanksgiving, and then I turn around and What??? How is it filled with stuff again?

We are still using the bassinet as a "Shame Site" I keep begging my husband to take it out so it disappears. I can't throw away he is to take back to cousin/s house. But guess will just start somewhere else. :)

I do indeed, but mine is the hutch in my dining room. This wouldn't be as big of a deal if you didn't walk directly in the front door into that room, but you do. It's where the mail goes, the pony tail holders, my purse, report cards, a screwdriver (?!) and loose change can sit for, oh, I would say pretty much forever. I clean it off as often as possible, but it never gets better.
Oh yeah, we have a chunk of counter space set aside for exactly the same reason. Ugh!

i have a "dryer top surface of shame", i have to move random "to do" stuff out of the way in order to turn the dials, i have a "little nook atop my fridge of shame" too, this holds tiny broken items, money, and hair tyes.

Not sure this is what you meant...I have a Basket of Shame. It sits on the counter and collects stuff until I cannot stand it. Then I do something really shameful...

I move the overflowing basket into the attic and start a new Basket of Shame.

I probably have a dozen baskets lined up on a shelf up there. I know I should look thru the stuff and throw some and put the rest awway but...

my couch! is my chair of shame, and my kitchen table....i try not to have a lot of end tables at home (no coffee tables) all they do is collect at my house, then when stuff starts falling off cause there's so much on them we'll finally cleam them off SPOT LESS and 5 min later it starts collecting again

I have a closet of shame! My bedroom closet is the worst room in the house. I hate hanging stuff, folding stuff, and putting away clothes (I do put everyone else's laundry away though just fine). Thankfully, my husband and I have our own closets. I don't even like him to see the closet. It's a mess! If this is the only mess in the house, I feel okay about that :)

I don't have a chair, but I do have the same problem! I leave myself post-it notes in the bathroom, by the front door or in the car, sometimes on my keychain... b/c I may forget along the way. It's terrible, but it's b/c we're so busy!

CHAIR... damn.. I have an entire HOUSE of shame!! LOL... I'm such a procrastinator at some things!!!

We have a bar of shame. =)

the desk at which I sit right now is pretty shameful. drives husband crazy, he doesnt know how I manage the bills with my piles. but I do!

Yup! It's called the kitchen table! It's sad because that's the reason we eat at the kitchen bar!

A few!

As for the jeans... when I have something like that, I put it on a tote bag and hang it on the entry way doorknob, so when I leave, the bag is right there. Sometimes I still forget though!

Yes I have one, the shorts I intended to take in for my mom this past summer are sitting in the chair, along with many clipping of coupons never used, one glove, and many more litlle things that I was going to take care of. So we all have a spot. LOL! ; )

I try to have a basket of shame in each main living space ... my room, living room/kitchen, hallway by the door (kiddo space) and when we do the "clean sweep" try to get it done but I do clean it out Sat/Sun when I run all of my errands and if it does not get done then well ... it will not ever get done!

I have a baby gate of shame. It is on the bottom of the stairs up to the craft room. Unfortunately I moved my husband's jeans up to the craft room, and haven't see them for the last month.

Oh, and of course the counter. But I am doing better!

HA! I have a whole house of shame. A very teeny tiny house and lots of things, 2 kids, a job, and no time to go through it all. Lately I feel like I'm treading water - always moving, always busy, but nothing ever gets done.

I am by nature a very neat person and the state of things at home lately is very distracting and depressing.

Basement of shame. Garage of shame. It's a shame! It is also basically normal. As long as you dont wind up on one of those tv shows for the obsessive saver! Happy Holidays!

No, I'm too OCD. A place for everything and everything in its place.
