If you have a doubt that you can't resolve, how do you put it on a door? Do people typically store things on a chandelier? Do they put things on a clock? If something must be dealt with later, do people put it behind an abdominal wall?
This is the reason why "shelf" works far better than anything you listed. It's the usual place where people put things away for later retrieval, and the thing that breaks when the weight of too many such things exceeds its load-bearing capacity.
I agree with Shades. I was actually about to post the same thing before I read this.
So you're chasing around a fly and in your world, I'm the idiot?

You rent a place no one knows about. You put all the crap you don't want around your family in there. You start out with a 5 x 5 and it only costs you a bit every month. But then you find out more horsecrap and you have to get a bigger unit. So it's a 5 x 10. Aaaaaah. Done. We'll just lock that up, and keep it away from everyone.
But. You discover more stuff. Mother idiot! There's MORE stuff? I have to get a bigger unit! Time for a 10 x 10. Now it's starting to affect your bottom line and your spouse wonders where you're running off to all the time, and why is there a charge for $100/month to your bank account? What's going on, honey? NOTHING. I'm FINE. Don't worry about it. It's just a thing, sweetie, but I'm dealing with. Your spouse is worried about you. You seem so secretive lately, and you've changed a bit. What's going on?
More stuff? WHAT THE MOTHER “F” ER? WHERE IS ALL THIS STUFF COMING FROM? Wait. DID I JUST SEE MY BROTHER LOAD SOME crap INTO A STORAGE UNIT? ARE THERE OTHERS? I gotta upgrade to 10 x 20 because there's no way I'm going to fill up a 10 x 20. It's $200 month? How am I going to explain this to my spouse? Maybe there's room in the unit for her stuff, too?
Welp.
I just filled up a 10 x 30 and there aren't any bigger units. I gotta figure this out. It's costing me too much. It's taking up too much space in my life. I wonder how many units I can afford before I'm forced to make make a choice between hoarding a bunch of crap I don't need, or freeing myself from the all the baggage costing me so much every month.
Oh. by the way, my wife just rented a 5 x 5!

“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
