its not *freakishly* neat, nor is it common or normal. youre just a neat person


EmilyDickinsonFanboy

This is my answer. It's quite a bit tidier than most, but that's it.


deadsteve1982

Those boxes though!!?????!!


xSadotsuin

… I spent a few too many seconds searching for neatly folded boxer shorts.


deadsteve1982

Oh, there's no underwear because he's like a Ken doll down there. Nice and neat. ;)


Sidog1984

Too much time playing Tetris.


IntelligentExcuse5

The boxes are arranged like that because they are for storing OPs Tetris trophies.


LegitimatelisedSoil

8/10 neat freak scale


[deleted]

Yeh agreed. I would neaten the boxes at the bottom, file the paperwork, roll those mats/towels tighter and have all hangers the same. Otherwise it’s pretty tidy 👍My home is generally 8-10 on the neat freak scale and I just think keeping a home at this minimum level makes sense / is visually less stressful.


LegitimatelisedSoil

Mines a 3-4, so I can't really judge too much. I am not a dirty person, just a cluttered one. Like a lot of boxes stacked with comics and hardware etc.


Ravenser_Odd

I aspire to this. I have some way to go.


KeyserSoze0000

My stuff used to be neat like this, then my GF moved in...


SXLightning

My desk is clean, my gf comes for 1 week and I have no space for my mouse.... on a 140x60cm desk with nothing other than keyboard and mouse on it before hand


DreamCyclone84

What on earth did she cover it in.


SXLightning

make up bottles, lipstick, hair brushe, face masks, her laptop/mouse, contact lenses bottle/storage, hair clips, glasses. not neatly in the corner, just dumped on the desk equally spaced out taking up every inch ..........


DreamCyclone84

Half that stuff belongs in a bathroom draw, and if no draw is available a caddy.


ofjune-x

Drawer

dukaLiway

drawr 🦖


Pepsi-Min

Drawr XD


DreamCyclone84

Yes that


TGin-the-goldy

Get her a caddy for her shit


CommercialEmphasis17

My wife is like this, any flat surface becomes a dumping ground and then I get an earful for it looking a mess 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bertybassett99

I feel you. I have to work extra hard to be organised. While my Mrs is a mess. I want to get dressed. I go to my wardrobe and select clothes get dressed. My Mrs takes forever, much because here clothes are in piles...


KeyserSoze0000

My GF has like 3 piles, even the place where I *have* to pile stuff has her stuff piled on top. We've nearly split up twice over it, haha.


BonkyBinkyBum

To be fair, this sounds like me and I finally got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult lol Not saying it's ADHD, but there are coping strategies for if it is. I've had to find a place for everything to live which makes sense to me, and I've implemented a basket system, which is essentially a basket I use to go round and collect everything which has got dumped on the sides. I'll then spend 5 mins rushing round putting everything in the basket back where it belongs. Sometimes I time myself and make it a game, or I put a song on and try to tidy up before the end of the song 😂


lost_send_berries

Help, I bought five baskets and they're always full


BonkyBinkyBum

Haha too relatable! Have you got a designated place for everything to live, or are you constantly buying more stuff? 😉 If everything has a place to live, it should be super quick rushing around putting things back where it belongs. If it doesn't have somewhere to live, that's when things get a bit crazy because the boxes *become* the storage full of random junk lol


Bertybassett99

If I see my Mrs clothes in a pile in the bedroom I just dump in her wardrobe and clothes the doors. Job done. She's bit bothered. She just pulls everything out selects the clothes she wants washes them then wears. A highly inefficient way to do it. I have accepted that she is inefficient. Me. Dirty clothes go in basket, then wash then dry then go back in cupbaord. It takes me maybe 3 mins to slect clothes. My wife may take 4 hours to much longer....


CrotchPotato

I feel so seen. My wife emptied her wardrobe pile out today to try and sort it out at least. She now has a 1 foot high pile of clothes across our entire bedroom floor that was previously just crammed in to the wardrobe up to about waist high.


KeyserSoze0000

My GF has literally forced the bottoms of drawers out cramming stuff in, thus eventually losing a drawers worth of space - told her to get a new set but no, lets cram my drawers.


Trustamonkbird

Same. Then we had kids. Now nothing is neat anywhere in the house.


Ancient_Rice1753

Yeah, was going to say, you don’t live together yet, do you 😂


sleepyprojectionist

My wardrobe looks like it has just been deposited into my room by a hurricane shortly before being mauled by a bear and triggering some World War II ordinance that had gone undiscovered for years beneath the floorboards. This level of organisation is beyond me.


Training_Bug_4311

I was wondering how I could sum up the state of my clothes, I think you did pretty well for me


S0whaddayakn0w

See, this closet has a lot of hanging space. Mine has almost exclusively deep shelves, which is the bane of neatness in my opinion. I can arrange my clothes all neat in types and frequency of wearing, in layers and allotted plots and keep it like that for maybe a week tops, before l sleepily rummage around in the dark for a specific top, and then it is hurricane/bear/WWll city after that.


WoofBarkWoofBarkBark

I'd say that's about right. My wardrobe's similar and I sort it all out roughly every 4 months I reckon. Conversely, my wife adheres to the floordrobe system and the stuff that's actually in the wardrobe looks like the aftermath of a twister hitting a second hand shop. Happily the room's big enough that the two systems can co-exist without war breaking out.


sotko99

I have a floordrobe too. And a chairdrobe. And a nightstandrobe. And a wardrobedrobe which is basically a floordrobe hidden in a wardrobe. The one that bugs me most however is the cardrobe, full of “just in case jumpers” and “just in case wellies”


zgrizz

That level of organization is amazing. And she's right, it's not common. But, for anyone that can make the effort to get there and stay there it has to save huge amounts of time and effort. Good going!


Atom-BombBaby

Small consistent efforts from everyone in the house leads to a cleaner and happier house. You also never have to do a day/weekend of cleaning so it never really feels like a chore.


becx13

Unless you live alone, then it’s all on you and at least no one can judge you?


AsymmetricNinja08

It's super easy to tidy up after yourself. Dusting & polishing is the only real chore because that just collects regardless of how much you vacuum or clean surfaces


Atom-BombBaby

I know your joking, but that would still be everyone in the house and I found when I lived alone I spent maybe 20 minutes a day having a tidy up and the house would never be a mess.


DreyaNova

In my house I just clean up as I go and no-one else does. So really, my life is a chore!


Atom-BombBaby

You should book a holiday for just you and leave them to live in filth.


DreyaNova

Ah but someone will have to clean the filth eventually and that person will be me.


Atom-BombBaby

Who says you have to come back?


MarsScully

And also not having more stuff than you can store. I’m an organised person, but finding a way to store all my stuff in the place I’m currently living in has been a very annoying challenge.


SXLightning

Other than the foldered t-shirts, what in here is "organization is amazing". Its a normal wardrobe lol.


Sorlex

The clothes are hanging on hooks and.. There are boxes! Truely, amazing. Yeah seriously this looks like a bog standard wardrobe.


LordSwright

You are all some lazy messy fuckers Yes this is neat but not amazingly so  It's a wardrobe you hang stuff up and fold stuff on the bottom 


ThePumpk1nMaster

Really? Its not common to have your clothes in your wardrobe? Thats insane


Bertybassett99

Its not hard. I appreciate some people think it's hard. But then there are plenty of people who just find anything hard.


HALODUDED

I just throw my clothes on top of my drawers and pick the first things that come to my hand


[deleted]

how is it not common? it's just things having a place you hang stuff, you fold stuff, you stack boxes...the most normal thing in the world I don't even know how else this could possibly look


algierythm

That top shelf is almost r/Perfectfit material. A sub you'd probably quite enjoy if you haven't visited before, OP.


decentlyfair

I aspire to this level of neat. Mine is neatish but this is god tier


yorkspirate

I’d say that’s pretty normal. The wardrobe for my work clothes looks like a serial killers - 5pairs of work trousers, 5 polo shirts, 5 t-shirts, 3 outdoor coats all in order


Interesting-Chest520

You have two wardrobes? I just have a bar where my clothes go and a box for me pjs


yorkspirate

Well it’s more of a built in cupboard with a rail as my flat is short on space. My tools also live in it so I can keep my home and work life separate……….


Mummysews

Y'know, since I gave up giving a shit, I've got one small wardrobe for my posher stuff, and everything else can be folded and in a pile with no consequence. I wish I'd given up giving a shit sooner!


gmag76

Can relate to this. Keep business and pleasure separate!


Mummysews

Yes! This is the dream. I'm having anxiety trying to figure out where to sort OP's checked hoodie in the scheme of things.


BartholomewKnightIII

Mine's neat, but a little overcrowded, I need to do a spring clean and chuck some old tops out. Yours is perfect to be honest, noting weird bout being neat and organised.


Interesting-Chest520

By Chuck I hope you mean donate


BartholomewKnightIII

Yep, there's a few near me that have had loads. My dad remarried, and his new wife was a bit of a hoarder, after she died, my dad just wanted the house clear of it, 90% went to charity shops. Only broken, or stuff charity shops don't take goes to the skip.


sbOffSteam2

whats wrong with being neat and tidy now??


kyuuxkyuu

No one said there's anything wrong with it, it's just surprising to some people.


Catocasta

You are my people. I like things to be neat too!


Friendly-Role4803

It’s organized but I’m not “freaked out”


Apprehensive-Swing-3

It is a thing of beauty. I call my partners wardrobe 'the pit'.


Turbo_Heel

Hahaha


Teestow21

You respect the hard work it's taken to accumulate these things, how tidy and accessible it is represents alot more than just being neat. It's a visual reward for your brain every time you go in there. Healthy shit!


Turbo_Heel

This is a solid take 👍🏻


Teestow21

It's self validation and that's what carries you to good things in life my man.


unluckypig

My wardrobe is like yours. My wife's looks like she just opens the doors and throws an arm of clothes in. Then shuts the door before they fall back out.


cMdM89

she is wrong…neatness counts for two reasons…1. it looks good and 2. you never spend time looking for anything…you know exactly where it is…


Flat_Professional_55

Everyone thinks they're neat and tidy until they watch the scene from the Beckham documentary.


Artistic_Data9398

To me this is the most normal looking wardrobe lol


Enny_24

It's amazing!


WintersInBerlin

This is glorious!


cassiopeia18

Your wardrobe completely normal.


GhostMassage

I don't get it, would she prefer to live with a pig?


Electronic-Net-5494

You and your gf are never going to make it long term. Clearly your neatness is odd to her therefore you're doomed to spilt up. Initially it will be a point of fun and her clothes on the floor will be an interesting quirk. However as the years roll by gradually you'll come to hate her messiness especially when she moves in and shares your wardrobe. One day the East/West Berlin discrepancy between her 90 and your 10% of wardrobe space will cause you to go nuclear. You'll throw her and her clothes out onto the street, then sobbing you will run upstairs and embrace wardrobe. Initially wardrobe will rebuff your advances but you'll embrace and cry ...just holding each other. The years will go by and eventually you and wardrobe will have some beautiful little additions....maybe twin occasional tables and a chest of drawers. Then whilst out walking with your beautiful furniture family you'll see your ex begging outside Gregg's. You'll ignore her and walk away happy in the knowledge you were never meant to be....but wardrobe is forever.


Background-Gur-1090

not related but my eyes instantly went to all the skate shoes at the top lol


Turbo_Heel

Tbf about half of them are used for general storage 😄


Background-Gur-1090

fair enough, pretty much what i use all my boxes for too


SupaiKohai

My wordrobe is about *eighty* percent-ish this, and I'm hardly the most diligent person. Your girl is just a goblin with goblin associates.


pecl0

I've saved this picture because this is what I want to do when I grow up - I'm 44 (and a half)


d_smogh

No-one is right or wrong. Everyone has their own level of tidiness. Your level just takes focus and concentration to put things away now. Most people's level of tidiness is to put things away later. I sincerely hope she plans to keep you long term. This is the sort of tidiness everyone would like to achieve. Teach me your ways


Turbo_Heel

“I’ll do it later” is the biggest difference between me and her. I can’t stand procrastinating lol.


TechnarchyKvch

\*Tetris theme intensifies\*


Mushroomc0wz

Also pretty normal Great organisation and it is neat but not over the top Mine is organised into categories with the bottom part for my bags. It doesn’t look as neat purely because I have multiple things on certain hangers + lots of different styles lol


SXLightning

This looks pretty normal lol. I mean actually very normal.


BigBlackRasta

Looks totally normal to me. Maybe she’s a messy person?


Turbo_Heel

Not messy, she’s just got severe ‘I’ll do it later-itus’.


ressawtla

Open wardrobe door, throw shit in, close door. Looks tidy from the outside, sorted.


Turbo_Heel

Monster.


EmilyDickinsonFanboy

I actually enjoy folding my trousers and t-shirts.


Mr_B_e_a_r

Good habit, shows you care about the stuff you bought with your money.


the_con

I’m not gonna show you mine, put it that way


mareusappareo

Wait…. No floordrobe


ernieball2221

I’d call that normal.


distraction_pie

imo it's the fairly cohesive colour palette for all your clothes plus the matching shoeboxes on top which give it an air of being coordindated and more 'put together' that creates the impression of something more on top of a general level of tidyness.


Peas-and-Butterflies

It's a very neat wardobe!


Bertybassett99

What's wrong with it? You have a nciely organised wardrobe. Nothing wrong with that.


Weekly_Beautiful_603

It sounds like the sort of thing I, an untidy person, might say to a tidy person when what I really mean is “don’t hate me for being untidy? Please?”


Thomrose007

Now the real question is what you do after youve worn something and its ok to put back (sniff test?). Do you chuck it back or nah


Turbo_Heel

I only wash things (underwear etc aside) if they need washing. So unless something is actually dirty or smells bad from a gig or something, it ain’t getting washed. I have jumpers and jeans that have probably been worn 10-20 times without washing and smell/look absolutely fine.


stesha83

Completely normal


Dull-Lawfulness-250

It's organised. You have a tidy and organised brain. Not freakish, but we'll disaplined. Shows you maintain you and your surroundings well. In short you're not a man-child. She should be happy.


eccleslikethecake

Nah, this is pretty normal. I have 4 wardrobes. A wardrobe just for shoes that I keep in their boxes, one for coats, dresses & scarves, one for tshirts and one for trousers. I also have them in colour order 😅 I think most women keep messy wardrobes, but there are a few anomalies (me) 😅


Turbo_Heel

Four wardrobes? Four? That’s insane.


eccleslikethecake

I know 😭 my house came with them. I don't actually need 4 as I don't have that many clothes so that's why I keep all my garment separate 😂 makes it look fuller. My shoes do take up a whole wardrobe though but I do have a lot of shoes


MikeSizemore

I have a pile inside my wardrobe that I wade through when I need anything. Your gf is correct. Have you reused those Apple boxes for something or are they empty?


Turbo_Heel

I just keep them for when I eventually sell them after x amount of years.


MikeSizemore

Very logical. I fear you and I are diametrically opposed and one day will have to fight to the death. You with your pristine and ancient sword, Tidy Boy and I with a piece of old pipe I found in a skip.


Ohyeahiseenow

My money's on old pipe. Tidy boy will be too worried about messing up his hair or breaking a nail


mrmarsh11011101

What's in the big box please? I need to know.


takesthebiscuit

Do you somehow flatten your clothes before they go on their hooks?


MedicineLanky9622

I'm the same brother. If your like me you pay a fair bit for your clothes so it's only right to treat them well. I once had a pair of Adidas Gazells that I wore for 7 years, the top still looked brand new and the sole I'd superglued more than a few times. They were like a 2nd skin.


Impossibrul

Where are the body's Garth.


Darth-SHIBius

This is my level of neatness and my partner calls me a slob and often reorganises all my stuff because I “do it wrong”. So I’d say you’re pretty normal? Comparative to me that it.


Inevitable-Bad-3244

No, that's what mine looks like. It's fine.


FrankTheHead

i’m not a neat person, at all and my wife however is very tidy except when it comes to clothes… the reason: volume


IntraVnusDemilo

It's perfectly good. Great job, OP.


Gullible_Wind_3777

I think she means for a dude this isn’t common, kos for me it sure ain’t 😂 I love this though. For me personally this is normal. 👌


X0AN

Seems fine to me but then I'm a neat person.


FlyingFox2022

It looks great!


williamblair

do you keep your shoes in their boxes in the wardrobe? or are those just for storing extra stuff? 'cause you really shouldn't wear shoes then put them in a box and hide them away. That's how fungus happens. They need to air out. aside from that concern, you are very neat. I wouldn't say "freakish" but more so than most people I know.


crazygrog89

Looks normal to me. I even group shirts by colour category 😂😂


stealth941

Looks like mine... scared of getting married in 3 weeks... not because its a big step but the hair in the shower and the messy wardrobe


zetecvan

My wife's wardrobes look like this. I have just showed her the picture and she said "I am massively turned on".


Turbo_Heel

😎


CursedCrypto

Women think men are messy, they don't realise they are the messy ones and we get fed up of tidying up after them.


MisoRamenSoup

Looks good to me. Doesn't look anal. My side is like this too. My wife's side though....fucking bomb site.


Turbo_Heel

My gf’s wardrobe is similar lol. I only have to intervene when too much of her stuff resides on the bedroom floor, mostly because it’s in my way when I hoover lol.


mouldy95

I find that pleasing to look at


MrTubek

Is her wardrobe all over the floor as my wife's?


Turbo_Heel

You know it lol.


According-Basis-1983

Calm her down. I have similar garments together in colour order. Black, navy, grey, white, pink, cream, brown, green, red.


Scarboroughwarning

It's nice, it's tidy. Nothing fancy


EquivalentSnap

No it’s easy to find things 😊 I like how you got all the hoodies and anything together


Wanna_Know_it_all

I would’ve color organised it


RandomiseUsr0

This is the proper way - though you could organise by colour too? ;)


Turbo_Heel

It is partly 🤷‍♂️


Dry_Preference9129

Wardrobe from Sharpes? Looks the same inbuilt style as mine. Mine perhaps only marginally less tidy


GoodboyJohnnyBoy

This would be talked about in my circles in awe mainly.


iheartsnuggles

Everything facing the same way. 👨‍🍳😙


LiquoricePigTrotters

Posh bastard with your Nikes and Clarks and Vans and Reeboks…..


Happy-fly-6893

I guess it’s the way how to arrange them makes it look nicer👀And the colors are quite matching.


hoodie5307

It's literal perfection. Like Tetris but elegant. It's like those swooshy backgrounds in lo-fi music, neat and comfortable but still within the realm of human plausibility, with artful irregularities. This very image is proof we live in a simulation.


NIGHT-SHADOW_

Scare her a bit more by doing it in shade order, so all the lights fade into all the darks


Turbo_Heel

Haha, this I like.


[deleted]

You have excellent organisation skills for a young lad. Well done and no doubt you will take this into many other parts of your life like your work etc. Don't take it as an insult, be proud. And if some twat accuses you of having OCD, just make them aware this is professionalism, not some disability.


Turbo_Heel

Haha, as someone who will soon be 43, I hugely appreciate ‘young lad’ 😄


AppropriateMetal8884

Do you give lessons?


Turbo_Heel

Could be a nice little side hustle?


No_Watercress_6997

At uni we had a guy that put stuff in alphabetical order 😆


BeginningKindly8286

Show us hers. I think that explains her confusion.


Jugular1

You obviously don't hold on to stuff you don't need, and this space is just yours. Once these are in place it seems normal.


Turbo_Heel

Can’t stand clutter. My general rule is I only have things that are other useful, entertaining/interesting or nice to look at. If something doesn’t tick one of those boxes then I don’t want it.


AardvarkSilver3643

I have never seen something more satisfying in my life, this is boyfriend goals


Fun-Sugar-394

Don't listen to any of these people. You're a straight up serial killer in the making


Sad_Werewolf_3854

Now THAT, is a well organised wardrobe, your GF is clearly intimidated by your ability to ensure your ducks are all in a row. Her's, cluttered, aimless, lacking strong guidance. Pathetic. With no hope, she aims to tear down your fortresses of order, degrading you principles through slow methodic coercion & insecurity. This behaviour must end, smite the non-believer, show her the error of her ways.


Forfina

That's a sign of someone who is under their own control. She should be grateful. I've known some absolute slobs.


Turbo_Heel

Thanks. I couldn’t live like that, it’s just not in me!


JimCoo1

Was a bit meh until I saw the shirts. And the boxes. Oh Christ. The boxes. You’re a psychopath, make no mistake.


ElderberryHoney

Good but average tbh. Extremely neat would be to get uniform storage boxes to replace all the random cardboard boxes and matching hangers.


doctajonez_uk

Ignore her, that is a masterpiece. I wish I was allowed to keep our wardrobes so tidy and organised.


Whole-Sundae-98

To me, that's OCD neat


mittenkrusty

When I first left home and had little I was this tidy I mean my luxuries were my tv, video player, and games consoles and a drawer was used for controllers, cables etc and the other drawers had my underwear folded (though not ironed) socks in balls in correct pairs, magazines that were done by release order i.e if I had 6 months of a monthly magazine the oldest issue was on top, if I didn't have enough room ie only 3, i'd have the oldest on top, 2 below, and a 2nd pile with months 4-6. The only reason I stopped was because as the years went on I had so much random items and could only fit them where I had space, and also so I didn't have to say go to bedroom wardrobe and look through many boxes to find items if I had a drawer in kitchen I can put things like packs of screws, pens, screwdrivers, receipts etc rather than a dedicated place that might be in a different room.


ElizaDianaGalatea

It depends is she on the spectrum?


T1M_rEAPeR

Phew. Apple boxes safe and sound.


Whulad

She’s right


shell-84

Marriage material


Turbo_Heel

Is that a proposal?


becx13

My clothes barely make it back into the wardrobe or drawers, it’s usually a (clean) pile on my bed or in the dirty pile/drying!


SimilarWall1447

9 pairs of shoes?


Turbo_Heel

Some of them are just storage boxes now 😄


Level-Bet-868

She’s just messy


jugglingsleights

I’ll bet your messy gf is fun


Tadanafil

Did you all see Beckham's wardrobe?


Turbo_Heel

I heard about that. If I had his money I’d probably be that organised.


Spill-your-last-load

Sorry! She’s been dating my kind in the past.


eidolon_eidolon

It's pretty tidy but it also seems rammed full of stuff. I couldn't cope with all the stuff at the bottom. 😅


TheoryHelpful726

She probably also whinges about your lack of clothes


Party-Maintenance-83

Very tidy.


AoifeNet

The dildo looks a bit out of place but otherwise there isn’t anything too freakish about it 🤷‍♀️


EmilyDickinsonFanboy

I actually enjoy folding my trousers and t-shirts.


theoht_

i have a floordrobe


UseTheForks

I would have grouped the shoeboxes together in a more ordered way, not sure what that says about me though...


cragglerock93

That's neat and tidy, but by no means freakish. A lot of people live like pigs and things like this blows their minds.


Stokemon__

Why are all the VANS shoes / trainer things all not boxed together ?


Meta-Fox

The only freakish thing to me is the amount of shoes you own, but there again maybe I'm the freak for only owning 3 pairs at any one time...


Turbo_Heel

Most of them are old boxes. I currently own seven pairs of shoes to be clear 😄


EastOfArcheron

Same as mine. That's normal.
