In our house, I'm afraid almost everything that's not too heavy can become an allochthonous object, mainly due to the object-relocating services provided by our kids. I'm probably guilty of some "oh **** I'll put this here for now" action too, which certainly ups the allochthonousness of whatever I was holding.
