Being a tidy person can sometimes feel like having a curse where you are always slightly annoyed.
Sometimes you wonder if everyone else is blind to mess.
1. Small things like dirty dishes being left in the sink, rather than just beside the sink, make you murderous.
2. Toothpaste being treated like this.
3. When crumbs somehow get in the butter.
4. When people don't take the 34 seconds to take the old empty toilet roll off the toilet roll holder, and put a new one on.
5. Or the 23 seconds it takes to put a new bin bag in the bin.
6. Empty containers being mysteriously left in the fridge.
7. When people think that the place for egg shells is back in the egg box, with all the nice unopened eggs.
8. Teabags being left to rot in the sink.
9. When people stack the dishwasher inefficiently.
10. When kitchen cupboards don't have a system.
11. When people leave their shoes wherever they take them off, rather than putting them in a special place.
12. When people open packets wrong.
13. When people play bin Jenga.
14. When microwaves are splattered with old food bits.
15. When chairs are not pushed back in under tables.
16. When empty packets are found anywhere except the bin.
17. When you have to leave your bed unmade.
18. When people sleep on beds without sheets.
19. Showers that are covered in mould.
20. When people tidy the kitchen, but then don't finish the job.
21. Or do the washing up, but don't remove the bits of food from the sink afterwards.
Sometimes for a moment, you think maybe you're being unreasonable, maybe you should just relax a bit.
But then when everything is perfectly clean and tidy you remember that this is the right way.
