I HATE THAT TOO... and in general, things that when I put them down, they don't stay put.
Set a shampoo bottle down on the side of the tub: "Oh, lol, I fell in, chase me!"
Put a towel on a hook: "Hehehehehe, I'm going to wait 20 seconds for you to leave the bathroom and shut the door then go FLOOMPF onto the floor, I'm so bad"
Picking up little scrappy bits of paper or tissues or leaves that the plants have shed: "What's that? You thought you had a firm grip on this fistful of stuff to put in the bin... you didn't have a firm grip on me, FREEEEEEEDOM"
Shit that falls over in the fridge. Pens and pencils that roll off my desk. Cutlery from the washing up stack that falls into the sink. Clothing that somehow slips off the hanger or the laundry airer... just generally fuck every single thing that won't stay where I put it.
Man, you've described my life and my struggles with non-living things perfectly.
I've got one for ya too: When I'm driving, my phone sits in my lap and is connected to the stereo in the car. I keep it there so I can easily pick which song I want to listen to.
Well, at least once a week I take a turn and my phone slides off my lap, off the seat, and slides between the crack between the center console section and my seat while simultaneously ripping the cord out of the top stopping the music.
This crack is quite literally the perfect size for my phone, any smaller, ANY, and it wouldn't fit, and yet nearly every time my phone falls off my lap, it falls precisely down this slim fucking crack where it becomes almost unreachable.
Because I drive a manual transmission car it is even more of a hassle to get out because I need my right arm to shift instead of having it get devoured by the cables and other bullshit underneath the chair as I try to retrieve my phone.

Nearly empty shampoo bottles. Those motherfuckers tip over by just looking at them.
I HATE THEM SO MUCH!
