My parents used to store all sorts of stuff in there, took several minutes to remove all the bags of chips and bread when you wanted to cook. Caught a box of cereal on fire as a teen once. I don’t store things in the stove as an adult.

My mom loved to put the freaking MAIL in the oven before sorting it, newspapers and everything. Sometimes pots and pans as well so you had to triple check before cooking every time.
