In the past, people attached great importance to the front entrance and courtyard of a house, but nowadays people pile up odds and ends there. They also use their staircases to store smelly shoes. People rarely bother to do anything about rusty window bars and grimy outside walls. They also talk loudly into their cell phones in public spaces, afflicting other people with noise pollution.
例如過去人們最重視的門庭、玄關，今天成了堆放雜物的地方，樓梯間則是「臭鹹魚」羅列，人們很少反省過，自己家醜陋生鏽的鐵窗、陳污的外牆，甚至在公共空間大聲的打手機，都是影響他人的美感殺手。
