It's kind of like having a garbage can with a lid. You don't want to see the garbage so there's a lid. Even though it gets flushed, it's still where the garbage goes.

My other peeve is making the bed (unnecessary, really only for looks) and 1 step further, all of those stupid fracking only-for-looks little pillows all over the damn bed.

My favorite scene from "Along Came Polly" is the pillows on the bed scene. Just makes me want to slap my wife every time I see it.
My first wife used to cover the bed in Garfields. And I do mean cover. I took pleasure in dumping them off the bed each night.
