Title: Are you messy?
Post by: Parts on October 22, 2009, 10:55:13 PM
I am notoriously messy especially in my truck.  Some people will not ride in it unless I clean.  I normally follow the rule that when the mess reaches the level of the passenger seat I clean it out :green: Anyone else?

My truck is a mess behind the seats. My safe is fairly well organized and my guns are cleaned and lubed. My place is a bit of a mess.

I have the abbreviated back seats so that space is best used to store shit.  :thumbup:

No. Clutter stresses me out. My anxiety just spiked looking at that picture of your truck. I want to go over there and put those power tools (Bosch BTW, very nice) back in their cases where they belong.

Not really. Pre-kids, I was awesome. Post-kids, it gets harder. I have clutter but it's not spread out all over the place. My house looks like I live here with two kids and I'm cool with that. One of the things i'm doing next year is going room by room and throwing out the shit we don't need. It's driving me bonkers and I get a crazy high when I'm sorting/organizing/purging. :green:

Truck is fairly clean, a little bit of mess behind the seats.

I have alot of clutter basically.

With me, when I get stressed out I clean, keeps me from melting down and choking the shit out of someone.

I'm stressed out alot.  :zombiefuck:

That's what I do too when I'm stressed. I love it if my ex takes the kids for an entire day and I can tackle a room. Sort, pitch, donate, organize. *sigh* So therapeutic.

Things like tools and radio equipment and stuff are in their cases and put away in their proper places. everything else is pretty much a tip, not unhygenic just messy.
part of my trouble is having all my stuff in my room with no space to sort anything out.
the front of my car is a mess, the back is all organised with all my kit.

True. In that regard your situation is worse than mine.

My ex doesn't take the kids full days either because he still lives here. :P Although, I brought that up yesterday and originally he wanted to wait a year before leaving but we're going to up that if we can. I told him we need to sit down and discuss some firm plans so everyone can move on which he agreed to. Okay..sorry...tangent.  I'm good that. :P

Would be great, having him out. Indeed, good for all of you.

I don't work on Mondays, so, I do use those days for therapeutic clearing of my house. Living in a house with a man I did not live with any more for a long time only caused more rubbish and clutter all over the place. Made it my task to clear out enough to fill my garbagebin to the max every day before it is emptied. And slowly, my house becomes mine, and my mess is my mess and the mess of my kids alone.

Wow. That is exactly where I'm at right now. And it's not just the physical clutter but the mental clutter too. I spend so much time in my room because I feel like it's the only place in the whole house that is completely mine. He's taken over everything lately and things are only in places to his liking and I can't function in it anymore. We've been livig like this since Jan 2007 (separation became official this last June) and I feel like it's the last thing holding me back from completely moving forward. Thankfully, he seems to be feeling the same so the process of moving him out is easier than it would be if he was resisting, which he's not.

Wow, very similar. And yes the clearing is getting rid of mental clutter too. First weekend he was gone I had a massive cleansing spree. And got out a lot of his smell. That was a big thing too. Then I changed some minor, but very visible things, so that it was clear that he was gone. Now it is the hard boring work of going through everything. And when that is done, I want to paint the walls.

I am someone who performs domestic chores best in surges. But this is so massive that I have to bring it back to 'bite-size' proportions.

I've swayed from perfectionism to happy with everyday domestic 'mess'.

I'm extremely organised at work, no clutter or anything, I cannot stand it.

I'd prefer clean and tidy at home too, but sometimes time doesn't permit....but I'm in the midst of a major purge.

LSD was first extracted from ergot fungus that grows on rye among other things.  There is a lot of chemical preparation that goes into making it though you need a real lab not one of those things people who make meth have.  Not telling you to go out and take it or not  but if you ever try LSD make sure your with people you trust and get on well with and are someplace safe

Motivating my youngest to de-hoard. The long lost treasures she is finding make it very rewarding. Plus the amazement she experiences at finding somethings that make no sense to her at all, but that were very important a bit more than a year ago.

She's in a "throw out the superfluous" mood. And I am seizing the moment with her.

Yeah, messy for the most part.

The garage for example: Most of my tool s are well organized but it's a disaster area out there otherwise with a narrow path to cutting through it all. Vehicles are gernerally kept clean and clutter free inside & out.

House has cluttered and clean areas. Areas where I regularly spend time are very cluttered.

I think the floor in my truck has black carpet, I'm not really sure since it's been so long since the last time I saw it.  I have an extended cab ranger, and I don't have kids, or any friends that could fit in the little jump seats in the back, so the area behind the regular seats just fills up with anything I don't need in the front, but for whatever reason I feel should be in the truck.  I bought a tool box last winter figuring I could use it to hold the stuff that usually ends up behind the seats, but instead it ended up being filled with other useless crap.  Also the bed of the truck has so much junk in it that nobody ever calls me anymore when they move.

I actually just cleaned out the back today, I started by cleaning out the interior, but I gave up after about an hour and figured the back would be easier.  It's been over a year since the last time I cleaned it out, I even found a shovel that I thought I lost last winter, it turned out it was under the tool box.  Every time I go to clean out the interior of the truck, it usually ends with me sitting there smoking a bowl, then a few cigarettes while listening to the radio until I get bored and go back to my computer.

The problem is that the inspection sticker expired last may (it's now July, my mind works in rational thought phases) and I really can't afford to pay a higher insurance premium if I get pulled over and written up, let alone the ticket fine.  I really don't want to bring my unbelievable mess of a truck up to the gas station up the street and have the guy get inside it with it like this, it's bad enough I take it to the shittiest inspection station I could find (they don't even have a dyno, it's not anywhere in the building) knowing that the less equipment they have = the less tests they can do.  Sure it would be nice to get a good inspection and find out if there's anything really wrong with my truck, but to be honest, it runs fine, I take (not necessarily good) care of it, and all I really want is a sticker that won't attract a cop's attention.

I can sometimes go for weeks without washing my laundry. It isn't so bad with my pants, since most of them are jeans, but I can run out of shirts quite quickly. Also my apartment tends to get messy during the school year in general since I have little time to spare between my academic and social activities.

Yeah, pretty much. Every two to three weeks, depending on my mood.

I usually plan for this, since I don't like doing laundry anyway. Hence my clothes tend to be only jeans followed by lots of tshirts. A day of doing laundry isn't that bad, all you do is turn on the washing machine and forget about it for a while.

I can sometimes go for weeks without washing my laundry. It isn't so bad with my pants, since most of them are jeans, but I can run out of shirts quite quickly. Also my apartment tends to get messy during the school year in general since I have little time to spare between my academic and social activities.

I can't afford to forget about it...I share a laundry room with four neighbors, only one washer and one dryer, so I don't want to hog the machines!

The couch pictures were tight close-ups with shiny firearms posed upon the cushions. Can't tell from that. Also can't tell from the outside of a truck!  :zoinks:

You know those hydraulic kits you can get to make the pickup bed dump like a dump truck?  I was thinking about mounting one of those under the cab so I just have to open a door, a suicide door, and hit a button and the truck would be clean.  Of course there's the matter of all the shit that falls out on to the ground, but I'll just drive out back at a national park or something and let Ranger Bob and all the other extremely overpaid Parks & Recreation employees put my tax dollars to work.  That already works great for getting rid of leaves since nobody ever thinks about why there's so many Oak leaves in a Pine forest.  The easier way is just to fill up the truck with the leaves and drive down the highway at 3am with the tailgate down, they'll all be gone between two exits.

When I leave the dump I drive about 75mph down the dump raod to get rid of any leaves of small stuff left in the bed :2thumbsup:

I remember my Mom wanting to live on a houseboat.  Her thinking was that to do housework she'd pull a plug in the floor and the water would rush in and clean the place. She would then pump the water out and voila, clean house.  Mom was crafty that way.

Did she ever come up with a way to keep the mold from getting out of hand?

And some starts are better than others too.

Today's start wasn't bad at all, when you think I was barely home.

6  carton boxes of paper gone, and 4 bin-liners packed with girls clothes. And did some throwing away of stuff too.

No. Clutter stresses me out. My anxiety just spiked looking at that picture of your truck. I want to go over there and put those power tools (Bosch BTW, very nice) back in their cases where they belong.

I am also like that, but only half the time.

I used to be messy. Although I think the main reason was I had too much stuff and was too perfectionistic. It took so much time and energy to keep ALL of that in its place that it was easier to just say "fuck it" and let it go to hell.

Over the years though I've learned to downsize my crap. I still have some clutter, because I can't stand the visual look of sparse rooms. But now everything has its place and I'm usually pretty good with returning things to their places.

I think the stuff I have the most problems with is cleaning the dishes (I always rinse but hate actually cleaning them) and cleaning the bathroom. I don't reuse dirty dishes, but the rinsed ones may end up sitting on the counter for a few days.

Straightening and organizing is one thing, cleaning is another.  :-\

We had a time when the Princess Royal was throwing away her utensils.  Now we have her place everything on the countertop for us to handle.

I can't say I haven't had the inclination. Although now that I finally have a matching dish set, there's incentive not to. ;)
