Random Topic #10507: Women’s Shoe Boxes

How is this for a random topic: During my time on this planet as an adult, I have had the pleasant (and sometimes not-so-pleasant) experience of living with a couple of my girlfriends. As many of you know, I am making this move to New York City, but doing so without my girlfriend (she is too rooted at the moment to leave, so that is a situation which remains up in the air), but I am now realizing something…something that I am a bit confused about and, perhaps even ashamed to admit: as I am going through the process
of deciding which of my things to keep or trash, I have come to realize something—I love women’s shoe boxes.

Now before you go judging me, let me point out that I have learned to live within the controlled-mess that women tend to call their room. And my girlfriend doesn’t stray too far from the norm. She doesn’t really keep all of her shoes in their boxes—there are shoes everywhere. But unlike many men, women don’t let empty boxes go to waste, especially shoe boxes! They put other stuff in them!

So, you see, I am going to miss out on a whole world of unintentional household storage options.

They provide perfect storage options for small- to medium-sized items and various household miscellanies! Not to mention, they also hold papers and documents just as well too. And it’s not like with those other boxes…these, you just have! Most of them are long, slender, totally stackable, and look cool together. And it’s not as if you went out shopping to get boxes, when you got them, they came with…SHOES! Even better! They even store other types of clothing too (yes, they are very versatile).

What about men’s shoes, don’t they come in boxes too, you ask? Sure men’s shoes come in boxes: big, bulky, and awkward boxes. Frankly, I wouldn’t use them to store my shoes in—and I don’t.

So now what? Do I have to go out and buy a bunch of plain boxes? Will it be the same? Will I end this pointless and embarrassing rant? I’m just not sure.
