Too many things in my way

This is exactly how I feel whenever I am in a crowded mall. Lots of kiosks, benches, and plants in my way as I try to pick my way through chaos. Add the numerous pedestrians also trying to find their way and you have a recipe for perfect confusion. I am often hard put to decide where to put my cane in order to find my way.

Then here is another example of too many things in my way. If I am reorganizing my room or any other part of my home, I need to ensure that things are not put in my way. For if they are, then look out! Mass confusion, mass frustration, and mass irritation.

It is also the same if I have too many things on the counters in my kitchen. I get totally confused and soon enough I am lost. Then I have to go looking for sighted help. It is the same if there are too many objects around me in my bathroom.
