Well, I'm not sure if this is comparable, but...
My wife -it seems to me- operates under the feeling that she "allows" a lego
collection to exist at all. Not in so many words, but it's clearly a
constant nuisance to her.
My biggest problem is that I keep getting shuffled around. We have very
limited space, and I've moved from the downstairs to the bedroom, where she
tends to hit the sack early. I get shoved into a corner where when the door
is open she "doesn't have to see it at all." The spaces and suggestions she
has for storing Lego always seem to center on this idea. How can it be
hidden away in case the freaking Queen of England should stop by.
Of course the level of noise it generates doesn't please her in the
slightest either.
We've had a few arguments about it as well. She's currently pregnant and
once the baby is born I can't possibly use the collection upstairs anymore
(not that I'll have a lot of time for it at first) but there seems to be a
no-way-it's-coming-downstairs-again mood and I'm a little perplexed as to a
suitable solution.
I'm pretty confident she'd be happy if it all suddenly disappeared. I've had
to stop her from vacuuming the room on more than one occasion.
Feeling your pain,
-Evil Wayne
