    why are blokes so untidy?

    How come blokes dont seem to understand the words 'tidy up after yourselves?' Im at tumbles for a few day's this week and his room is a complete tip.... ive offered to do his washing (which is in the wash) but the rest of his room is a mess

    And can someone please explain to me, why when a item of clothing has been worn once does it have to go in the wash? its clean to look at and doesnt smell, so why cant it go back in the drawer it came from? noooooo not tumble he has a pile of 'clean clothes' sitting on the floor which have been worn and can be worn again, but i cant put em back in the drawers cos he goes mad!!!

    Sooooooooooooooo do i leave him to tidy the rest of his room and sort his clothes out once washed and dried or do i do it for him? Make my mind up ladies and gents

    Blokes are untidy so we have something to stress about.

    Otherwise we wouldn't have anything else to think about (apart from cooking, general organising, looking good etc)

    Make him do it, he's gonna have to learn somehow for when you move in together!

    you cant put clothes that have been worn back in a drawer! Personally, if i've worn an item of clothing and it's clean and doesnt smell of anything then i'll wear it the next day, but i wont put it back in the drawer....

    My room is almost all the time tidy, clothes are washed and neatly put away.

    Mess/untidyness annoys me.

    ah.. he'll grow out of it. One day he'll wake up and look at his mess and think OMG I'm a pig and start to tidy. Although, I do know of a few friends that still live like they think they are at Uni still ( kebabs, messy rooms and generally not getting their haircut )

    This slap from Reality works wonders for the majority of the population

    I am moderately untidy, my wife is very untidy. Both of us are hoarders. Our flat, as you can imagine, is a tip. What annoys me is when she moans about the mess when more than half of it is hers! And when she chucks used tea bags on the side when with less effort she could chuck them straight in the bin!

    I don't think tidyness is really a gender related thing TBH, some people are tidy, others aren't.

    don't think its specifically men who are untidy.... and DO NOT put worn clothes back in the drawer! Wear them again, then wash!

    The floor is a fantastic piece of clothing storage...actually its just a fantastic storage device full stop.

    When in panic - the floor doth provide!
