Upon complaint of
Sarah
Complainant · a member of the household

You are hereby notified that the above-named Respondent has been found, upon evidence gathered over a period of considerable patience, to be in breach of the following provisions:

  1. § 34.1a
    Retention beyond use. Keeping items whose usefulness ended during a previous decade.
  2. § 34.1b
    The hypothetical need. Justifying retention by a scenario that has never once occurred.
  3. § 34.1c
    Cable archaeology. Maintaining a drawer of leads for devices no longer manufactured.
  4. § 34.1d
    Manual preservation. Retaining instructions for appliances disposed of years ago.
  5. § 34.1e
    Surface colonisation. Advancing across a table, a chair and then a room.

It is therefore ordered that the Respondent remove one item for every item that enters the house, effective immediately. This is a final notice. No further warnings will be issued. Compliance will be monitored. There is no appeals process, and there is no one to appeal to.
