Just hope that you don't drop a clear or trans-yellow round 1 x 1 onto the
carpet. There's nothing more annoying than trying to use my fat fingers to
get a small piece out a shallow box only to have it squirt out and onto the
floor. I have partially gotten around this by acquiring a set of plastic
tweezers to grab the small parts out of my bins.
The other peeve is when corners of plates get damaged when trying to pry
them apart with my fingernail. I need to learn to use the brick seperator
more....
