All the boxes my LEGO is sorted into are rather large, so while building,
I tend to stack them around me.  However, in order to be able to reach
certain pieces, I often have to move boxes around or shift them, so most
of the time, the boxes are precariously balanced.  When I reach over to
grab a box just out of reach, I sometimes lose my balance and set my hand
into the unsupported portion of one of these precariously balanced boxes.
If I'm lucky, the pieces spill only onto the carpet, and not into half a
dozen other boxes...

This is one advantage of my system where most parts are in resealable
bags (such as ZipLoc). Of course it adds a new way for Murphy to strike
- you pick up an unsealed bag by the bottom...
