Precariously hung refrigerator decoration.
Postcards and pictures suspended on the face of the refrigerator by the merest magnetic power so that the slightest touch disengages them and unleashes a chain reaction of other postcards, all fluttering at your feet when all you wanted to do was see if your friend had anything you could eat while you waited for him to finish talking on the phone.

Next time bring your own food and drinks. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Glad you're not one of my friends.

I find this is generally a "people with kids" thing. I alleviated the gravitational wars by gifting my friend with perpetual-falling-fridge-ephemera with very strong magnets that hold everything on. In bulk. I also made them cute so the kiddos like them (and are fine to play with them rather than tack more shit on the fridge). I just got a new (to me) stainless fridge. I can't bring myself to put anything on it. It's too pretty.

Leonard, I completely agree with you. The worst version of this is when you move into a place where this is the dominant household culture, and then every time you open the refrigerator to find your humble little corner of nourishment, you not only have to spend like ten minutes craftily re-sticking the various items from the resultant avalanche back to the door, but also have to fear taking crap for reorganizing senior housemates' magnetic poetry/polaroid/activist postcard installment art.
