haha I use the back scratcher too. Earlier this evening I was wondering if my short daughter had problems reaching the clothes also and was going to tell her the next time I saw her how to use it to get the clothes out. I use it to slide dropped items from under my desk also. I also scratch my dogs back with it, they love it and I don't have to bend over if they are on the floor. I use a long spoon in the kitchen to slide items to the front of the top cabinets so I can reach them.
