Soap
My dearly beloathéd, the shelf.
There is a certain shelf across the back of the kitchen sink. It's got a basket for miscellaneous scrubbers and brushes. It holds the standalone timer, several more brushes, the sugar bowl, some miscellaneous knives, some of the other kitchen tat that hasn't got a better home.
It ought to be super convenient. I hate it.
It has spindly little legs and no cross bracing. It's up on bricks to make it tall enough. It wobbles any time you interact with it.
I had just put bacon on the stove. My hands were a mess. I snagged the faucet handle with the non-greasy side of my hand, then the dish soap pump. Most of the grease scrubbed off, but not all. I reached up to the foam soap pump on the shelf and gave it a push.
The shelf wobbled. The top-heavy coffee cup wobbled and pitched off. I caught it, just barely. I lost what remained of my composure.
"I HATE YOU!!!" I shrieked at the fucking shelf.
Belovedest appeared, and I gave them my opinion of the shelf. Then I enlisted their help with the rest of the bacon.
(The bacon was delicious. I still hate that shelf.)

It will work... until a temperature change kills the vacuum of the suckers. So it now lives on the ledge of the sink... which is only marginally better than the Things Sitting on the Sill.
