Situation: I am facing the laundry hamper , some backpacks behind me and a chair on my left.
Alternative situations: I want to drop some dirty clothes in the laundry hamper on the left side of the backpack. I want to empty the laundry hamper in between the backpacks just in front of the wardrobe closet.
Question: What is nearer to me, the backpacks behind me or the desks?
