A roommate in college had two of these chests of drawers... the perfect compliment to a futon bed, right? His were navy blue with white knobs. Anyway, the design was totally symmetrical, so that it looked the same upside-down and right-side-up. In other words, if you turned the whole unit upside-down, it would look exactly the same, so that when the drawer was opened, all the stuff would fall out. After paranoia set it, he would always carefully check the top drawer before opening it. That's when we just flipped every other drawer.
I wish there was a way to do that with filing cabinets at work... dropping out 75 pages of engineering plans would be far funnier than spilling tube socks and boxer shorts. At least funny until I got fired and lost my home and ended up living in a fridge box behind the 7-11 with nothing but a chest of cardboard drawers, and all the other homeless dudes would probably sneak in and flip the drawers on me. Karma is a bitch, eh?
