"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

I'm in my final year at uni, and am living with 4 guys. Apparently, I, the only female, am by far the messiest. I disagree because at least my mess is only knee high paper, books and clothes - leaving out piles of dirty plates is disgusting!
Anyway, last week I spent 6 hours tidying my room, then asked one of my housemates for his opinion - it apparently looked like "an earthquake had hit the house and all the rubble has been dumped in [my] room!"
I refuse to tidy ever again!

I spent two days a few weeks ago tidying my room, removing bag after bag of rubbish, folding, sorting, and so forth. The mess actually seemed bigger afterwards, as if it had inflated.

What is this emphasis on tidying things? Are we not just going to use them again later? I pretty much maintain the same level of mess perpetually, tidying the outer strata when its been neglected long enough that I know I don't need to keep it within arms' reach. There are clothes on the floor--but not many, and at the moment they're all clean. There are dishes on the desk--one cup, one plate, one fork--and that amount is rotated but pretty much just lives there perpetually. Deodorant and dental hygiene miscellania also seem to migrate to the desk over time. Is that so wrong?
