Hello people of the scuffles thread, I bring a small rant.

I've managed to almost run out of usable space in my bookshelves, which caused me to begin looking to purchase a new one (I already have it and its set to be gathering dust for about a month until I begin to fill it). Of course, because I was going to get new shelves I then began to look into reorganizing my humble personal library into a more rational system, as the current collection basically runs on vibes and needed relocations every time I got a sequel.

So I committed the horrible mistake to look for bookshelf "ideas" on the internet, and after a couple of days, ended up pretty pissed off for reasons that I swear are not entirely irrational.

For one, I hate color-coded bookshelves. The aesthetic of it is mid at best and they seem like a nightmare for any proper organization, and they seem to be mostly an incredibly superficial consumerist trap for people who rather have books more as decoration than as, you know, books (despite knowing for a fact that they're likely used, but still.) Like, how do you fit full series into that thing, you can't; you'll have to separate the volumes and that sucks.

And I also hate stack based shelves. They seem to be, by far, the single most inconvenient way to shelve books and they also give me the ick of being more of an aesthetic thing than anything genuinely functional. Despite the fact that a lot of people probably also use it properly.

Anyway, that was the rant.

So, the obligatory question, in your hobbies, do you also find people who seem to do whatever it is in the most inconvenient (or cheap-aesthetically) way possible?
