I do that but not as much as my brothers...I am always contstenly looking for the REMOTE CONTROL....ha ha...
I work at a law library and I see this all the time. People who either A) leave open books everywhere on the table and just leave (it makes it harder for me to determine if someone is still using them or not) and/or B) people who put books away in the wrong places and we have to perform a "missing book" search which involves scaling all 4-5 floors of the library looking for it.
Attorneys are better at putting books away. They either leave them closed on the table stacked neatly (so I can put them away), on a reshelving cart (recommended), or they actually know where to put the books back according to call number (library of congress system; we don't use the dewey decimal system).
You know, when you're a kid, your parents teach you to put your toys back in the toybox when you're done using them, right? Well, this should be applicable to the real world, too.
