Anx said: SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: I can't get with this AT ALL I care that I even have a bed to lay in I used to have this roommate that burst into tears because I asked that she do her obsessive housework after I left for work. She would wake up at 5:00 am sharp every morning to do her duties so she'd have the rest of the day free and here I still had 2 hours left to sleep before I went to work all day Vacuum cleaners at 5:00 am is reason to brawl in my book and we almost did. She cried and I yelled at her even harder for having the goddamned nerve to foist her obsession on me while I need my sleep for the day I have to slave away at work! Hell no, if you need your bed made that bad that you need to steal 2 hours of sleep from me, you need to get your own place i am the most silent bed-maker you'll ever meet. actually, how do you make a bed noisily?? vacuum cleaners at 5am is BULLSHIT, though. i'm neurotic about that, though. i hate vacuum cleaners. unless i'm the one using it, i prefer to be gone from the house when someone else is using it. those things make me super nervous. Ok, she would turn into fucking Snow White with those stupid ass singing birds at her side when she was cleaning She was the most obsessive cleaning person I've probably ever known and she was obsessed that she had to do it first thing in the morning when her internal alarm clock prompted her to wake up and that was at 5:00 am, sometimes sooner.

Ok, I actually asked her nicely and in a very friendly and calm manner if she could wait until after I left at 7:30 to get her day on and the look on her face You would have thought I just tried to rape her She was so offended that I even asked her that and I was like hello! You aren't even working and I don't have to get up for 2 more hours! She started crying and I was so pissed that she had the audacity that I was mean and told her to spare me her fake tears.

Anx said: i do have to admit, i cheat a little. i tuck the covers and sheets under the end of the bed, so that when i get up, all i have to do is flick the covers/sheets and voila! the bed is made. plus i don't flail around when i sleep, so when i wake up the bed is usually still half-made from the previous day.
Afterwords, do you have to ask for directions on how to get home? | |

I won't leave my house without making the bed.
It's almost like when your mom would say Don't wear dirty underwear in case your hit by a truck. I would be MORTIFIED if I was out and about and got killed and ppl came to my home and found it with the beds unmade! | |

Well, when I lived at home I ALWAYS made the bed, because if I didn't, I would hear about it from my mom.
Now that I live on my own, I RARELY make my bed. It just makes it easier to jump back into it at night if the covers and comforter are not all tightly tucked in on it. Like some of the others said, the only time I DO make the bed is when I have someone coming over who will see my bedroom. Although with three cats and allergies, I keep my bedroom door shut all the time anyway. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

IstenSzek said: i never make my bed in the morning since it's not healthy to do so.
the best thing to do is to leave the covers off and have a window open or ajar. if you make your bed right away you seal all the heat and moisture in your bed causing bedbug populations to grow explosively. My ex is from Egypt and he would roll down all the covers to the bed and open it up during the day. Probably for the same reasons. He was vigilant about the open window too. | |

OK, maybe I make it a few times a year other than when I have guests. | |

IAmNotSpats said: ZombieKitten said: well not with the kind of guest you keep having no point at all! Exactly! The bed has to be made before I go to sleep. I like smooth sheets and covers. I usually make my bed about 2 or 4 hours after I wake up. Last night I made the bed right before I got in it. "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

Anx said: SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: No. This is one mania I managed to escape People who are freaks about this scare me
i've been known to miss my bus to work in the morning because i almost walked out the door and realized my bed was still unmade. i just think coming home to an unmade bed is the most depressing thing ever. My before work agenda is WAY too full to bother making my bed. I have to say though, 12 years ago, I was in therapy, kind of depressed and one of the practices I did to love myself was to make my bed in the morning. | |

At the time she was throwing these fucking parties while I was at work and all the neighbors were in my place eating the food I bought and I eventually stopped buying food because I'd buy it and the party would happen and I'd come home to nothing Well she insisted that I "do my share" and I wouldn't touch dishes I did not dirty! We had to practically drop a nuclear bomb in the kitchen because of it Damn, I was being abused 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
