incorporating point about wet walls from @Luaan's comment

If you breathe on a surface that doesn't wet (laquered wood, some plastics, metal...), you'll get condensation, though not always very visible. A surface that does get wet will absorb the water instead (by the time it's wet enough to show actual droplets, you're probably deep in moldy trouble :)). | |
