the curse of the neat freaks
Why is it that parents and random people always have this urge to tidy up your room, just a little bit ?. *sigh*. I’m aggrieved and (in my view, unnecessarily) stressed out because it seems that the so-called tidying up has contrived to lose a rather important piece of paper that was securely stowed away in a drawer. In.my.room.goddammit.
This, mind you, despite the fact that I had a piece of paper tucked into that folder which said “Don’t tidy this up. Please”. Exact words, people. Not only are they neat freaks, but they are also illiterate.
Sorry, I just need to vent. Not being able to go back home and figure out where they managed to tidy stuff that vital document, I’m left enumerating my options. I’ve already considered the attactive option of setting a fatal booby trap for all things I consider of value. Besides that, I’m fresh out of ideas. Anyone ? How do you stop a neat freak from descending on your stuff and running riot ?
Yes, there are piles of papers. I know which papers are in that pile, goddammit. Just fricking leave it alone. Go tidy up something else.
