A tidy person just wants things to be tidy. That’s all they want.
But when they live in a house with other not-so-tidy people, it’s definitely frustrating, annoying, and stressful. And all they can do is wait for that day when they can live in a clean house, where they call all the shots.
But for now, can you relate to these tidy people problems?
Who can relate to these photos?
1. When you want to drive them over the edge
Want to keep it simple? Leave dirty plates WITH leftovers stacked all over each other in the sink. Then leave for a few hours. We cannot promise a sweet reunion upon your return.

2. Tidy is abstract
Clearly, tidy has different meanings for them. Does this seem tidy to the tidy person? Does it?

3. Wipe down that sink
They’ve already washed up but the sink is still messy. Why can’t you wipe up the soapy water around the sink when you’re done?

4. Squeeze it
They just needed to squeeze it out. How did toothpaste manage to become an abstract painting?

5. Messy kitchen
All you wanted, after a long day, was to cook the food you’ve prepared. Instead you come home to a kitchen with food everywhere and chopping abandoned. How will you prepare your food now?

6. As long as there’s a bed
For some, this is a minimum requirement. As long as it’s a place you can park yourself to go to sleep, it works. But for tidy people, sleeping in a messy bed, or, egad, a bed without sheets is so unthinkable!

7. Crumbs in the butter
Why are there so many crumbs in the butter? And it’s not just in one place, it’s all over! Why!

8. It needs soaking
If you’re going to pile dirty dishes in the sink to soak, make sure you add water. Don’t just pile them all in there and then leave it.

9. Fix the sofa
We get it. The sofa is for lounging. It can’t hurt to fix the cushions when you get it and make it look nicer, though.
10. Just change the roll
Changing the roll is probably one of the hardest things to do in the world. Right? Because the toilet roll always ends up on the toilet, not on the holder.

11. Hair in the drain
Part of your shower routine involves cleaning the shower drain of discovered hair. It’s the worst part of the routine.

12. Bag on the bin
Well, he did place the bag on the bin. Literally. Looks like this is a three-person job. One person to get the trash bag, another to open the bag and another one to place it inside the bin. So hard!

13. Toothpaste is supposed to be wet
Toothpaste in a tube is supposed to be wet. It’s not supposed to be dry and crusty. Put the lid back on!
14. The logic of empty containers
The empty containers need to be disposed the same way they were bought, cold. Yes, you are correct. There is no logic!

15. Toilet tower
Someone had a lot of time on their hands. And have they been collecting the empty tubes all this time? So the holder is now just a base for a toilet paper fort?

16. Jenga trash
It looks like we can play Jenga anywhere and everywhere. It is a neverending game with unlimited number of players. Who’s going to win? Who knows?

17. Egg sculpture
They must be a sculptor or artist and they’re using the egg shells for their latest artwork. Or that’s what we’d like to think. Because why couldn’t they just throw the egg shells in the trash?

18. Neat desk
When you can’t work on a messy desk, you’ll even go out just to avoid it. All that mess messes with the mind.
19. Used tea bags in the sink
So many people place used tea bags in the sink to drain before they throw it away. And then they forget about it. And then the sink is now full of used tea bags. The trash bags can hold wet stuff, you know? Just throw it in there!

20. Eating in bed?
What are we, savages? There’ll be crumbs everywhere! Eat in the kitchen!
21. Handling the dishwasher
There’s a right way to load the dishwasher. And there’s a completely improper way of doing it. Which way do you think this is?

22. Party dilemma
You love a good party. You may like things clean but you like to have fun, too. But you’re the only one who attends parties and bothers to clean up after. So guess who’s going to clean up after the party again?
23. No kitchen system
No organizational system whatsoever in the kitchen. Glasses in one side and mugs on the other stacked on top of the plates. Are we back in the middle ages?

24. Experimental baking
Hmm, what are they baking? Are they even baking? Or just making a mess? And who’s going to clean this mess.
25. Shoes everywhere
They leave their shoes where they took them off. So now there are shoes by the doorway, middle of the staircase, under the kitchen table, everywhere. Leave your shoes in the closet!

26. Lock your door!
If you like with pranksters, make sure you lock your door before you leave. You do not want to know what you can come home to when they get bored.
27. Wrong hole
That’s not the right opening. There’s a right one. Open that one.

28. Cleaning routine
You’ve suggested a cleaning routine and they’ve agreed to it. You’ve created the schedule and everyone is excited. The first week goes by smoothly. First day of the second week, they’ve forgotten all about it and you’re doing everything by yourself.
29. Food in the microwave
Did they think the microwave cleans the mess? That it cleans itself?
30. Fridge space problems
You each have your own space. And yet they place their food in your spot when there’s plenty of space in their spot. Or they’ll place food that doesn’t need to be chilled and takes up so much space.
31. Throw it in the trash!
These empty packets do not belong there. Just throw them in the trash, for pete’s sake!
Dear oh dear @WorsleyPark someone else’s empty pill packets left in my room. Great speedy check experience though! pic.twitter.com/V5WFUktWpg

32. Passive aggressive notes
This is one way of showing your roommates to clean. Will it effective?

33. Making the bed
Leaving the house without making the bed? How is that possible? That can’t be!
34. Shower mold
Molds in the shower? How can they live in this house? Can I get clean these away?
Mould in the lower part of shower cubicle are caused by leaks from pipes under the shower tray http://t.co/Ih3wxKJiE6 pic.twitter.com/kZ8MAwKdDd

35. Rich in toothpaste
It’s like you’re very rich in toothpaste stock the way they’ve wasted it on the sink. Maybe make sure all the toothpaste ends up cleaning the teeth instead.

36. Kitchen table as storage
The kitchen table should be for eating, right? Not in some houses. They’re storage spaces.

37. Are you sure they’re clean?
The inside of pots and pans may be clean. But what about the sides? Or are they still filled with burnt marks and drippings?

38. Midnight snack
Your roommates gets hungry in the middle of the night. They prepare food which they eat in your room. They say they’ll wash the plates when they wake up. That was a week ago.

39. Little hair everywhere
If you’re gonna shave on top of the sink, clean it off. Or place a towel underneath to catch all the little hair.

40. Dirty mirror selfie
They might be the most gorgeous person in front of the mirror. But if they take a selfie in front of a dirty mirror, that dirt is the only thing everyone will see.
