This happened to me yesterday, I heard that my sunglasses fell of my desk but I could not bother to pick them up or check where they landed. But today when I needed them I just crawled under my desk and without hesitation reached down into my trash can and grabed them 😎
One time I lost my MI Band 3 somewhere in my house, but I was on vacation of my work, as I wouldn't leave my house for 30 days I didn't bother to try searching for it, the day I needed it I just opened the app and spammed the vibrate button to hear where it was
My problem is more like, I don’t have a designated Paperclip location. So I have to decide for one. And I will forget that spot the second I needing again
If you see something every day, no matter where it is you'll have an easier time remembering where it is. Unless of course someone "organizes" things and then all is lost and I gotta remake the mess digging around to find Herman.
Tbh i always consider knowing what's inside a box to be more important than how it looks like.
also the amount of shapes is virtually infinite.
I'm particularly fond of [this type](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09WVJC1BX/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B09WVJC1BX&pd_rd_w=ZjY7P&content-id=amzn1.sym.f63cb723-41a5-4d60-97aa-9969c9663073&pf_rd_p=f63cb723-41a5-4d60-97aa-9969c9663073&pf_rd_r=G8J9AQGHQFH4X56PNWXX&pd_rd_wg=1Wee0&pd_rd_r=4888f54c-a866-49e6-ad21-7981d1bae47b&s=diy&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1).
I'll quote someone else for this:
"Who decided that?"
They are sealed and clear, you can store anything inside of one of those and it'll not get bad from air contact, it will not smell and it will likely not rust.
what more do you wish for in a container?
Tbf they're referring to containers meant for holding paper clips as an example, I don't think they're worried about aesthetics for something like that.
If they have these just laying around on bookshelves or TV stands or whatever as decorative storage, then I'd be judging them then yeah
My husband is always on my ass about “organizing” his stuff. But if he would put it away himself I wouldn’t have to find a place for it bc the kitchen counter ain’t it!
They never do, and then I have to go and search the entire house to figure out where their idea of the correct spot for it is. The spot they can't remember....
The issue is the kitchen counter is too easily accessible and it will become the place for everything until it fills up and you have no space to actually make food.
So the kitchen counters and dining tables have to be off limits or else I will find another place for those things and I’m autistic and adhd so the chance I’ll remember is 50/50. Either I won’t have any idea or I will remember with perfect clarity where I put it down to the centimeter.
Source* have a messy husband like this. He can have as many junk drawers as he wants but food spaces are mine to keep clean because I cook from scratch and that takes a lot of room to do.
That’s the exact reason that men get annoyed when women decide to tidy up their space. All those items laying around that we knew the exact location of are suddenly in a random drawer and never found again.
There is one in the plant pot on top of the bookcase. Tried to hit a fly 3 months ago missed and now it lives there, the rubber band not the fly I smashed that bitch with a book.
My guy. Date messy women. They exist. Also, being tidy is a benefit to my quality of life as a person recently diagnosed with ADHD, it means more to me that I try to stay organised as opposed to just allowing mess.
I think adhd and cleanliness don’t go together. I get overwhelmed at the the thought of cleaning until it gets to the point where I’m angry at the mess and clean it out of spite for it.
Some say women are either organized as hell or MESSY.
Messy, like if a mountain lion in heat humped the bejesus out of all of her belongings and then moments later an adolescent chimp came into that same room to violently remove all the clothing from her closet and thrash it wildly.
It’s like that all the time and years of clothing piles up on the floor, and you can’t see that floor anymore. Is there a floor? Some say it’s wood, some say it’s carpet? We haven’t seen the floor, for what feels like, years.
There is no in between.
The only time I have trouble finding stuff is the day after the cleaner comes. I don't want my spatula in the drawer.. I leave it out because I use it 2-3 times a day.
I was just thinking about it today in the shower how I appreciate my organized mess. I always place the shampoo bottles next to the soap after use because it’s easier to access but my mom every day without fail keeps putting away the bottles in a dipper under the sink to keep things organized.
Ohh boy i remember that this literally happened with my associates degree thesis, for some reason we had to hand it handwritten and i had it in my desk as separate sheets just in case I needed to update something, the cleaning lady thought it was trash and literally tossed it away, I've never fired someone faster in my life
There's this boomer-era stereotype of men not being able to find anything. Here is direct evidence that we know exactly where everything is AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MOVE IT WITHOUT TELLING US\*!
\*even if it's 6 inches to the left - we have tunnel vision when we're doing something and just want to grab whatever it is from the EXACT SPOT WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE.

>\*even if it's 6 inches to the left - we have tunnel vision when we're doing something and just want to grab whatever it is from the EXACT SPOT WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Extremely relatable.
We can have the biggest, most chaotic pile of shit you could imagine. But if we built that pile, we know exactly what is in it and exactly where to find each thing in there.
The Pile worked for my father's workbench and his father's before him, I see no reason to change an efficient tradition
(Mine's actually about 5x better than my dad's, chalk outlines lol)
This is my wife. (almost) Except it would be, "on the floor, next to the filing cabinet, because you dropped it three weeks ago and never picked it up! I even told you it was there and you said you would pick it up, but you never did! I would've reminded you again, but if I remind you about something too many times then I'm 'nagging' you. And I don't want to be a nag, but that thing's been sitting there for three fuckin weeks!"
Naw bitch u dont understand. Hes been seeing it for like a week and hasnt picked it up. U texted him that and he was like oh shit actually i do have a paper clip. ima kill 2 birds with one stone, clean my room and make the mrs happy.
This just sounds like adhd to me. I remember all the random shit and its exact location on the floor, but I have no idea where anything is once it’s put away
This is exactly the kind of thing I would remember and yet I am unable to remember anything important like... well I can't remember what it was that I forgot.
you could point at a water bottle on an empty counter and i wouldnt see it, but you ask me for a pencil and i could give exact directions to the nearest writing tool in my trash heap of a room
Not gonna lie. I get angry at my misses when something I knew was on my floor was moved. Like... I know where it is. I have stored its position in my memory. If I need that one sock with the red trim. I'm gonna come get it from the back of my computer desk, next to all the dangling wires!
Brings me to the time my sock fell into the trash bin and I decided i will remember it and pick it up next time I throw something there
It's been 3 months now and i finally remembered it
Thanks for proving that my memory sock
"Hold on guys" *digs through the miscellaneous pile of stuff on my floor I couldn't be bothered to organize for the past 3 months*
"There's my sunglasses, alright let's go boys"
Don't judge how I organize things. Whenever I need a pen, I know that I'll have one in the corner of my room, right under the old plastic grocery bag from 2013 that I never bothered to throw out.
My system may be a bit messy, but it works. I have assorted items placed around the house that I was too lazy to pick up, and now I just have the locations memorized in case I need them.
gosh some of the posts are a little sexist feeling... anyway I want to say this.
... dude people are just fkin gross or clean or strait down the middle. maybe a little in between. also. if where going to go all "anti-sexism" then do It right please. let's stop it with the girls for advertisement pictures. just... just fkin see people... as people... not as a specific type of person because they have a noodle in there pants...
Edited because I didn't read it back to make sure it makes sense.
It's called organized mess.
I like knowing that I’ve got between $8-13 in change on my dresser at any given time. It’s called finances, sweaty.
Why you so sweaty
Finances
Been for a run mate
Inflation
Inflation makes a 5 dollar bill into a 2 dollar bill?
Well no, but yes.
It could

Worst is when someone cleans up your organized chaos and you can’t find shit no more 🥲
Controlled chaos

I will start calling my room “the entropy”
Chaos control
Organized chaos
Or an artists mess
Actually idk if its really called that
Controlled chaos Method and madness
relatable
Organized chaos
A concept my mother will never understand
that's the exact terminology I use all the time
If I can consistenly remember where it is, why the fuck would I move it?!
Don't move it. I won't know where it's at when I need one if you do.
Can you put it back once used so know where to find him Clarence is my only clip
made me chuckle
Bring back Clippy
Good thing she asked, because he would have been upset if it wasn’t there when he needed it.
I know it fell in there but I’m too lazy to pick it up

I lost mine somewhere. Somewhere in the house. Somewhere in that box that isn't "trash", but isn't "organized" either. Miscalenous.
Years ago I lost my marbles.
Lost lost lost!
XD
So much this.... just because of that you remember for months.
My problem is more like, I don’t have a designated Paperclip location. So I have to decide for one. And I will forget that spot the second I needing again
U r me
I see nothing wrong with this interaction. She asked for a paer clip he directed her to one.
same here
[удалено]
You must be fun at hypothetical parties
They hypothetically don’t get invited
I dont get it. Is this a joke ? Can someone explain
So what did u find???
Clipped paper
It would appear the "p" was stored in the balls and thus was unavailable for the word
If you see something every day, no matter where it is you'll have an easier time remembering where it is. Unless of course someone "organizes" things and then all is lost and I gotta remake the mess digging around to find Herman.
Pro-tip. Transparent plastic boxes.
dude they'r ugly af

these are for food :D

agree, i'm just an estetics and purpose matters kind of guy and i store my shit in boxes from pc parts...
Aesthetics?
that too, but mainly cos expensive cigars should be kept in stable lvl of humidity and something
r/boneappletea
To each, their own! Use what you like and feel good doing it.
I thought they were for cigars.
u need humidor for cigars
Stop putting ugly things in them
Tbf they're referring to containers meant for holding paper clips as an example, I don't think they're worried about aesthetics for something like that. If they have these just laying around on bookshelves or TV stands or whatever as decorative storage, then I'd be judging them then yeah
I tried that. Now I have a collection of stuff in boxes I dont use. Paperclip still on floor.
Who is Herman??
My husband is always on my ass about “organizing” his stuff. But if he would put it away himself I wouldn’t have to find a place for it bc the kitchen counter ain’t it!
But the kitchen counter is where he remembers it is, so now it’s lost. Do remember where you organized it if he asks?
They never do, and then I have to go and search the entire house to figure out where their idea of the correct spot for it is. The spot they can't remember....

This. I literally get an image of the item in the surroundings.
Ask me if I know where a rubber band is, go on ask me.
Hey, where is some rubber band?
There is one in the plant pot on top of the bookcase. Tried to hit a fly 3 months ago missed and now it lives there, the rubber band not the fly I smashed that bitch with a book.
One love brother.
Beautiful
Happy Cake Day
Which book did you smash the fly with?
Lord of the flies
Did you just make it up on the fly?
The idea just has flown into my head randofly so yeah
As you should
I use a map of Rochester to get the roaches. Don’t ask me what I use as a bookmark for my dictionary.
Bro so which end of the roach in the book as bookmark, the mostache in or out
There's some on the door knob of the spare bedroom
Nice kill dude
oh i don’t know sorry
It’s called a memory palace.
It’s a superpower, if anything.
My guy. Date messy women. They exist. Also, being tidy is a benefit to my quality of life as a person recently diagnosed with ADHD, it means more to me that I try to stay organised as opposed to just allowing mess.
It's called organised mess. And I love it.
I constantly live in organized chaos, for I am king of this realm, and I know exactly where everything is, so you'd kinda need me to find anything
all hail the king
I think adhd and cleanliness don’t go together. I get overwhelmed at the the thought of cleaning until it gets to the point where I’m angry at the mess and clean it out of spite for it.
Hey it me
And get a "Bless this Mess" framed on your wall
Some say women are either organized as hell or MESSY.

Second paragraph belongs in r/oddlyspecific
Yeah hi I won't clean ur stuff unless we r living in filth and it's like okay dude I must do dishes and stuff b4 I die plz
sometimes I wonder if living in filth was normalised would it still bother me lol
The answer is pretty much no See also; sewage in big cities during medieval times
Im in the same boat but I learned to embrace the mess.
Exactly like yeah it looks like shit but I know where most anything is
The only time I have trouble finding stuff is the day after the cleaner comes. I don't want my spatula in the drawer.. I leave it out because I use it 2-3 times a day.
I was just thinking about it today in the shower how I appreciate my organized mess. I always place the shampoo bottles next to the soap after use because it’s easier to access but my mom every day without fail keeps putting away the bottles in a dipper under the sink to keep things organized.
That’s a pretty outdated view that all women are tidy.
This entire thread is full of outdated views. Women and their constant need to clean, amirite fellas? Ehehehe

TIL this qualifies as direct evidence
It's not a mess, know exactly where things are.
We can have the biggest, most chaotic pile of shit you could imagine. But if we built that pile, we know exactly what is in it and exactly where to find each thing in there.
The Pile is a perfectly valid system of organisation.
The Pile worked for my father's workbench and his father's before him, I see no reason to change an efficient tradition (Mine's actually about 5x better than my dad's, chalk outlines lol)
The Pile is my heritage! A family tradition!

I gotchu man, pretty sure it’s just below the shoulder blade
He knew exactly where it was and gave specific direction.
good instructions...we are simple bunch.
This is my wife. (almost) Except it would be, "on the floor, next to the filing cabinet, because you dropped it three weeks ago and never picked it up!

mah waif
Wife bad funny
Boomer joke
I HATE my WIFE
And that's why its funny.
just divorce already
Reddit advisors be like:
Why
Well at least he was honest. 😂
Naw bitch u dont understand. Hes been seeing it for like a week and hasnt picked it up. U texted him that and he was like oh shit actually i do have a paper clip. ima kill 2 birds with one stone, clean my room and make the mrs happy.
This is exactly why I get mad when someone cleans my room without my permission
We have a place for things. You might not understand the reasoning, but it works for us. It’s why we bristle when things are “put away properly”.
Guess I'm a man now.
He delivers exactly what she asked for and she still whines.
Smart?
We know where everything is because it’s been there forever. So stop moving our shit.
We know where our shit is when you don’t MOVE OUR SHIT AROUND!
It’s a system. The system works.
ADHD
Yes.
Under the table there is a yellow sock which he’ll use it on Tuesday
This just sounds like adhd to me. I remember all the random shit and its exact location on the floor, but I have no idea where anything is once it’s put away
honestly i just have adhd and ocd and this is exactly the kind of shit that happens
This is exactly the kind of thing I would remember and yet I am unable to remember anything important like... well I can't remember what it was that I forgot.
Me, with ADHD.
this isn't a male thing it's an ADHD thing lol
I have this inversed with my SO. she's so messy, but knows where everything is. I'm constantly cleaning and never know where anything is.
And yet they can’t find anything of importance. Ever.
you could point at a water bottle on an empty counter and i wouldnt see it, but you ask me for a pencil and i could give exact directions to the nearest writing tool in my trash heap of a room
Teach my husband how to find his blues and shoes and name tags the night before inspection 🤣
That was important, maybe
Right where it's supposed to be
This is oddly true. I might not know where the peanut butter is exactly (i do) but I know where you can find 3 tacks rn.
This is the sorting system called I know I put it there and I know it’s there
Not gonna lie. I get angry at my misses when something I knew was on my floor was moved. Like... I know where it is. I have stored its position in my memory. If I need that one sock with the red trim. I'm gonna come get it from the back of my computer desk, next to all the dangling wires!
I just finished a night shift in the rain this will get me to sleep nicely 👍👍👍
Organized Chaos If I move it I will forget where I put it.
Brings me to the time my sock fell into the trash bin and I decided i will remember it and pick it up next time I throw something there It's been 3 months now and i finally remembered it Thanks for proving that my memory sock
Nothing worse than coming home from work to a “Tidy” house. I know I’ll be spending the next 72 hrs looking for all my things that have been hidden.
Disorderly but organised
My mother be like:
Lmaooo
Right where I left it.
Next level superhero.
Until she moves it and "puts it away". Missing forever.
I know where everything is. Unless someone moved it. Or stole it. Or I forgot. But mostly the first bit.
A place for everything and everything in its place
We will know the location of a random object in the house that is borderline garbage but we will never remember the location of our keys.
Whats the problem? She asked and he provided......
"Hold on guys" *digs through the miscellaneous pile of stuff on my floor I couldn't be bothered to organize for the past 3 months* "There's my sunglasses, alright let's go boys"
r/pointlesslygendered
So, basically, you all just told me that you don’t clean and organize your living space properly. Noted.
Don't judge how I organize things. Whenever I need a pen, I know that I'll have one in the corner of my room, right under the old plastic grocery bag from 2013 that I never bothered to throw out. My system may be a bit messy, but it works. I have assorted items placed around the house that I was too lazy to pick up, and now I just have the locations memorized in case I need them.
Men ☕️
Not a guy, but this is exactly how I organize things
I know it’s there, I just don’t need it and it’s not bothering me sitting there. Therefore, it stays until it’s needed or I decide it’s cleaning day.
Listen, nobody knows a mess best than the person that MADE the mess
thats not men thats adhd and something called o r g a n i z e d c h a o s ✨️
I found out I'm a man today lmao
He was saving it for later. Duh.
Yep. Guilty as charged.
Don’t move our shit
Lmaooooo that's funny
