the table my laptop sits on is way messier than anything i've seen in this thread so far.
it's got stuff ranging from...
year-old bills
year-old mail
random receipts i can't be bothered to throw away
coins i can't be bothered to cash in for paper money
various computer screws and other "bits"
sticks of old memory
old hard drives
old network cards
old video cards
a hp inkjet printer i haven't used since before 2005
a palm pilot i haven't used since 2008
various cables for stuff
a network switch
i probably have more, but i'd have to dig.
