What percentage of you are grots?

[LEGION]

Damn I thought I had a theory when you replied CGM but now both Legion and CutMeMick are clean freaks - 2/3 - i'm not sure!

Thing is i suspect when you have your own place and you take pride in that you may grow to be cleaner than you were before - you may have more pride in your own place than a room you probably won't rent for more then a year max.

I know in another thread you've claimed one of your hobbies to be doing up you place CutMeMick so i'd guess it's nice and you're pretty proud of it.

Likewise Legion just from knowing you have a collection of snakes which are kept in proper cages I imagine your place to be like a snake show room with a similar amount of pride there.

Were you both clean before you had your own place and developed your own personal havens? Would you be so oderly in shared accomodation?

I was actually more of a neat freak if possible when i lived alone...My girlfriend is clean no doubt but she doesn't freak out over stuff like I do.....I'll arrange all the water bottles on the shelf so they are all perfectly aligned and each one is facing out lol; sh#t like that ya know? On days with big fights I have alot of nervous energy so I will clean just to do it or i'll bite my nails off

Well I overindulge on coffee or hide under the covers of my bed or buy dark chocolate when I'm freaking out so all things considered I think you have a pretty useful way of dealing with nervous energy in comparison to me!

The interior of my car gets a clean out about twice a year, and generally has at least one piece of rubbish added to it per day.. On occassions the rubbish has filled the entire rear feet wells both sides up and over seat level so that no one could even get in the back. The front wasn't much better. The ashtray would have about triple it's capacity of cigarette butts jammed in and spilling over the edges....
I will mention nothing about the condition of my bedroom.

I'm definitely a grot with a capital G

[Dark Lord Al]

Im a pretty tidy person , i hate clutter arounds the house , but we have a maid who cleans and irons etc , so house is always pretty clean.

[Andre]

Snap DIZ .
I had an f.100 once and two mice took over the front cab on me, one sat staring at me off the dash one morning while I was starting it. Them and a swarm of those fat little flies that like old rotting fruit.fruit flies maybe
Mobile grotto =
yep im a grot.

[Salty]

I am a grot, what is with all these neat freaks?

Both my study and my bedroom got trashed for the month or so before exams, they are becoming progressively cleaner at the moment though. My shaving gear is all over the bathroom counter, although when I had to share it wasn't. When it comes to my own personal area it's messy, but I try to keep it reasonabl-ish in combined living areas.

[Youngblood]

I used to be a clean freak. Now am a total slob.

I'm thinking that shrink I had to see back in grade 5 considers it progress?

Yeah I'm not a neat freak - I think I'm similar to you actually.

The kitchen and food mess I'm a neat freak with but i tend to accumulate study materials and clutter that is not unhygeinic or smelly.

I always try to keep it to my own room or space as much as possible though and it is an effort.

I think the fact i make that effort with a flatmate is why i hate having an overly grotty flatmate who will leave food mess lying around irritates me so much.

I'm careful to be considerate and i think it's not unfair to expect it to be returned.

In general i think having flatmates has probably been good for me because i'm beginning to become a clean person even though it's not natural for me and i'd probably be lost in a pile of clothes and loose sheets of paper permanently if i'd only lived alone.

[Trainer Monkey]

A bit of both,I dont mind clutter, but I do mind disgusting crap.
A few CD's scattered around the computer,no problem,a sink full of dishes,uggh.
Mind you,my vinyl collection is kept in meticulous order,but alot of that is,if I dont keep things just so,I cant find a damned thing

[ICB]

Well im not a neat freak but i like to keep myself clean/fresh everyday, i have a shower everyday, and i don't like an untidy house. I always do a bit of cleaning twice a week. I never used to be bothered when i was younger, i guess thats something i've learnt to appreciate.

I'm very similar to you, I think.

I know quite a few people, who are more concerned and take better care of their own things and area than with the things you share with others. I've always been completely different - I dont mind my own things being a bit messy, but combined living areas etc, I'll do my best.

But to Sharla, yeah, absolutely I think that - as a general rule - girls care more about these things than guys. However, most guys dont mind trying, and most guys can accept you making comments too. Girls, to my experience, tend to take 'constructive criticism' much more personal. So in terms of dynamics, a guy might be a better (or as good a) choice.

Maybe it comes down to whether you are one of those girls who appreciate the effort, even if it is not enough, or you really get consistently annoyed when things (again) arent up to standards? (Thats not to critisize if you are - just something I think you should ask yourself).

[BoxingGorilla]

I don't mind a mess I made but if someone else makes a mess I become furious.

I would say that I am "clean" but cluttered. My house is not dirty but it is unorganized. Books shoved under the couch for safe keeping. Pencils tucked away here and there incase I need one. Lot's of notebooks filled with wish lists, top ten's and, of course, prediction scores.

The dishes are kept done and their isn't dirty laundry lying around the house. No shoes are worn in the house. No empty soda cans or candy wrappers about the home.

My bedroom closet is overflowing with Captain America comic books but they are all dust free.

[Preme]

Cleaning, whats that? That's something your mam or grilfriend does right? heard about it but never understood it
