Do you want your players to ask you to describe every object in a room and then ask to loot every single one of them, one by one? Because this is where it begins.

This is why you should know your players’ passive perception and don’t do stuff like this.

I once asked what I could see on the roof of a cave, told nothing it looks normal.

Another PC asks similar and is told the roof is covered in webs and suspends a bunch of loose rocks.

My passive perception is 22, their roll was 14...

Yeah, passive is just you not specifically looking for anything, BUT you do notice...
