Are you a neat freak or a pig? Tidy or untidy?

Trollheart · 11-08-2013, 11:18 AM

What sort of person are you, neat or messy? Do you like order and to be able to find things, or are you forever digging through piles of clothes to get that particular t-shirt/dress/pair of shoes you want, throwing CDs left right and centre and fishing out old mags from under your bed? And does this translate to your work life, if you work? Are you neat at home but messy in the office/shop/on the oil rig/at the circus etc? And do you want to change or are you happy as you are?

I'm a pig.

Not necessarily intentionally so. I try to be tidy but keep just adding to piles, be they clothes, magazines, discs, whatever and then the pile is too big to tackle. At work I was always in trouble for having files all over my desk, and my constant comments that "A tidy desk is a sign of a sick mind" did not go down well!

At work I can't not be super tidy and organized, if things are messy and not where they should be it makes things harder for everyone- not just me.

At home, I go through phases. Sometimes I'm really clean, sometimes I don't do my dishes for 3 days.

Neither a pig nor neat freak. I leave stuff 'til it gets untidy. Then tidy it up.

Depends. If i'm at work, I have to be a neat freak since the furniture department does better when it looks nice, and i'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that. However, if i'm at home and I see a piece of paper on the ground, I can probably walk past it like 100 times and still not pick it up.

Huge pig at home. Always have been, always will be. I was unbelievably disorganized in school as well, although I clean up my act when it comes to work.

Total neat freak everywhere I go. My Rides, My House, My Workplace. I look at it professionally and at home as being prideful in your appearance. It was an example passed down from my Dad. Military guy.
