Are you a slob? - AR15.COM

I freely admit, I am a major slob. I have a SOLID four inches of old mail, items I’ve bought, and miscellaneous other things thickly coating my kitchen table. Dishes are literally left to soak in my sink for days, if not weeks. Scientists could take core samples at my place, and gain insight into the sedimentary layers of ancient civilizations.

That being said, I do have SOME (admittedly low) standards of cleanliness. If I open the door to my apartment & get bowled over by the stench, I clean it up (girlz don’t like that, yo). I make a major effort to not stink in public, or to have gross stains all down the front of my shirt. But on the other hand, I simply don’t give a fuck if the “glitterati” don’t think I measure up to their so-called “standards”.

So, Arfdotcom, where do you fall on the “slobbish” scale?

i'm a slob, but only because my gracious wife cleans up after me....

well that is when I let her out of the kitchen

I used to be....and then something changed where I like to be neat and orderly. It makes life simpler and easier to maintain.

But yes, I was a slob on expert level at one time. For a very, very long time.

When I was single my place was always immaculate.

Wife and kids really screw that up. She's not a slob, but she's a little sloppy. Kids are an animated traveling disaster area.

I can be. I am perpetually cleaning up and organizing my stuff.

If you didn't give a guck, you wouldn't have posted all that looking for support from your fellow slobs.

Protip: Your homer bucket is a good place to mix bleach and water. For cleaning.

I'd love to be Captain OCD, but I can't seem to ever make it work. Living with 2 (sometimes 3) people makes it even harder.

As a single male, I keep my place cleaner than most homes I'm in.
I'm not OCD, and sometimes it gets a little cluttered, but most times I'm complimented on my housekeeping.

At work, everything, EVERYTHING, has to be exact and orderly.

At home, all bets are off, the house is a disaster.

Yes to clean but clutter is a horse of a different color!

somewhere between clean and sterile.

i've through the years that generally speaking, at least in my experience, that men are usually bigger neat freaks than women.

I go in phases of both, but mostly it is an organized mess.

My work schedule sucks, I am on call 24/7, and there can be weeks that pass by quickly before I have a chance to do a good thorough cleaning.

I'm definitely becoming comfortable with a mess/disaster area as I age.

It's called not giving a shit, some people should give a try for awhile

I am but my wife is a lazy slob though so I live with her disgusting messes because after 12 years I've just lost all ambition to clean up after her anymore.

Everything has a place, everything in its place, always.

When it comes to laundry, it has a tendency to lay where it gets stripped off. Wife handles it though.

Cans will pile on the desk at times (big soda drinker, trying to cut back though, its my last real vice since quitting smoking).

Other than that im pretty clean, and clutter free.

Most of the women I know are slobs. Just look at their bathroom or the inside of their car. I mean who the fuck else saves receipts from the drive thru?

Everything has a place, it cuts down on time wasted looking for something or moving it later.

If an object doesnt get used in a year it very well could be tossed or sold.

Storage blds are a joke.

I'm not a slob but I've met some of the worst of them. Doing a room inspection on other soldiers can be horrifying.

This. I have clutter, and quite a bit of clutter. But nothing that will turn biohazard. Dishes get cleaned daily or at least every other day. No cups or plates laying around. trash is taken out every couple days.

I used to be ocd about the house cleaning, everything was clean all the time and everything put away. I liked it a lot, seems like simpler times back then.

Then they invented personal computers... all that free time dissapeared.

I'm starting to think I may be borderline hoarder these days. House looks like a bomb went off in it. It's truly a mess and I keep telling myself its time to clean everything and discard the stuff. Maybe next month....

I blame the computers...

Apartment stays cleanish, sometimes it has to get pretty cluttered before I do anything about it.

My tool box at work on the other hand, is a perfect case study for how OCD people work. Everything has it's exact assigned place, and I don't go home until all tools are cleaned spotless and back in place.

Yeah, I've had a few "biohazard experiments gone wild" experiences in my life. As someone noted, I've not spent any time in the military.
