Explanation:
The labels are under the items because I obviously know what the item is. And when the item is where it needs to be, I don't need a label telling me so. The only time I need labels for these items is when they're not where they're supposed to be. The labels annoy me into replacing the item as quickly as possible. They're nags designed to instill good "put it back where it belongs" behavior.
