I’m the annoying, way too fucking neat type. You know, the whole EVERYTHING HAS ITS HOME, put everything back in the same spot based on gradually improved accessibility efficiency ™, where you don’t have to move something else to grab it or accidentally crash into a wall because it’s right in the middle of the thrice-damned floor and you trip on it, thing.
This is very important to me. It saves time. I never have to search for anything.
I understand, though, that not everybody is like this (SHAME). To make up for the irritation this may cause, or perhaps because I don’t mind the miniscule amount of extra effort required to reach a little further, I try to make the footprint of the homes for my belongings as small as comfortably possible. I also place the items of others within easier extraction than my own.
Seems the decent conscientious thing to do when I am in charge of the layout, but I have noticed a troubling trend over the many years that I have done this. Oftentimes, it merely, and briefly, annoys me. Occasionally, as I move something I should NOT have to move, it is infuriating.
The space for my own stuff is gradually eaten, shrunken, encroached upon, INVADED, to become the space of what is not mine. Eventually, I look about to notice the tininess my area has evolved into and ponder to myself, “What the fuck is this bullshit, man?”
Granted, I don’t have much stuff. I don’t want much stuff. I don’t experience that natural little high when purchasing things that I have heard tales of, so my stuff is of lesser volume of another individual, usually. I recognize the logic of yielding a larger portion of a space, which I readily do.
But, Jesus fucking H Christ, don’t force me to squish my belongings closer together, or relocate them altogether, when there’s another spot, RIGHT THERE, RIGHT FUCKING THERE, for whatever you decide to put into my territory.
Final bitching on a similar note, is it really that fucking difficult to set something down in an orderly fashion? Is that a second of focus too long for a functional brain to handle?! IS IT, MOTHERFUCKER?
Have a good night, y’all.
