So I was flipping through catalogs as I used CatalogChoice to unsubscribe from everything that gets delivered to my house. (I'm now opted out of 14 catalogs under 7 current and previous residents) And I got to the "Container Store" catalog. Now, I've heard of this place before. I'm not gonna say why or embarrass anyone by mentioning names, but I have. Although I was never really clear what one bought there. I guess I imagined a warehouse filled with different color Rubermaid tubs. This is apparently not the case. So here's where I need help: How in the name of sweet jesus is this not called "the crap no one in the world could ever need store"? I flip through the pages and I see pile after pile at the landfill stocked by junk people bought for under 5 dollars, kept in a drawer for 6 years, never used and then pitched. I don't just not want to get this catalog, I wish this catalog... this store... I wish all this crap didn't even exist. Now, in their defense this is the "Something Neat For Every Stocking" edition of the catalog, which might not be as much a reflection of the store as the instant gratification, delayed garbage culture of Christmas. I dunno, I'm no socio-economist. If you can get your hands on a copy you'll see what I mean. COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. WASTE OF SPACE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DON'T PAY YOU FOR TAKING THIS JUNK. Seriously, its like the Skymall catalog except delivered to my door and without a $700 wine cooling rack. But don't go poking around my house for a copy, this badboy is headed straight for the recycling bin.
