I was first offended by it because it called me a “SLOPPY PERSON;” nevertheless, the story was structures in a way to bash the neat person. I further understood that it was more humor and sarcasm rather than bashing. I like the prospective from which the writer stated her point; however, it is morally and biblically incorrect to be sloppy. Despite my dilemma with being a sloppy person, I think this essay encourages sloppiness, humor or no humor, sarcasm or no sarcasm.<br />Sabiah Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14284601.post-89904627977322374052013-11-12T18:04:06.184+05:302013-11-12T18:04:06.184+05:30This is absolute gold.

But I think it really gets into the messy/neat psyche! I am very mess but extremely organised... once I get there. My husband is very neat but lacks organisation and wastes craploads of money because he keeps throwing out stuff we need OR banishing it into a neat box in the shed with no labelling (whereas I take a year to actually get around to putting stuff in the shed but when I do it's catalogued and traceable!). And he despairs at the mess the kids make - they're kids!!!<br />I think you've absolutely hit the nail on the head like nothing I've read before.

I had to stop myself from laughing aloud and disrupting the students' writing process--largely because my mother refuses to even have a dish drain. It has no appropriate place on the counter in her estimation. Because I'm an English teacher, I could probably write lots about this, but suffice it to say that you are spot on in your commentary (all aspects), and I loved your assertion that "All you twits bashing it are simply too dense to understand a joke when it's dancing naked in front of you."

My English teacher read ...This is really hilarious. My English teacher read this to us in class, and invited us to discuss it. We all understood it to be a humorous peice of writing that uses exaggeration to get its (somewhat valid) point across. All you twits bashing it are simply too dense to understand a joke when it's dancing naked in front of you. <br /><br />I fit the sloppy description perfectly, and I missed half of the teacher's reading of it because I was laughing at the memory of myself cleaning my room last week. I mean, really cleaning. Taking everything out, including the furnature, cleaning it, sorting out the garbage, and putting it back. The stuff, not the garbage. First time ive done that in eight years. It only took a week because I sat there on the floor tod half of it, reading things I wrote when I was eleven. Making old stacks into new stacks...<br /><br />And for the record, in my (admittedly limited) observation of the world, I have noticed a few trends. Sloppy people tend to be more accepting; neat people tend to be more uptight. I cant make any further comments on the matter, because I'm not a sociologist, and I don't want my house egged by a mob of angry neat people who are sure to read this in the future and undoubtedly take offense. Anyway...<br /><br />My grandma (who I live with) is a super neat person, but she doesn't fit that description. When I read it to her, she understood it to be a joke, and knew I wasn't calling her mean and lazy. Unlike all you morons who probably spend your lives being super uptight, judgemental, and miserable because everything said to you is extremely offensive. I pity you. If you're neat and you laughed at this essay, I love you. <br /><br />If you said sloppy people are lazy, stupid, sickening, smelly, or any number of other juvenile insults I saw flying around here...just think about this. You're no better than you must think the author is, since you're both bashing someone not like yourself. Only she, at least, is doing it in jest.

Sloppy people put things off, lazy, not responisble, dont care about life, and i believe that the author is lazy and just wants to make an excuse for themselves and others.

But as far as distinguishing on whether somebody is responsible by being neat or sloppy is way off base.<br />My neat ex husband has abandoned his children to start a new family. Nice and clean cut to keep his life simple. One family, the other kids just don't fit in to his "neat little world". <br />Neat and simple. Neat = simple minded. Sloppy = too much, over load, probably trying to clean up emotional messes thrown in the garbage by a neat person.<br />If you want somebody you can count on that sloppy person will be with you no matter what kind of mess you have to deal with in life. The neat person will cut their ties (or limit your access to their world) in order to keep their lives neat and clean.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739276638308974133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14284601.post-20516031837963476382012-10-22T19:58:44.637+05:302012-10-22T19:58:44.637+05:30I think the comments are very funny.

It's really seeing people get upset about the article that is funny. <br />The neat people freaking out right now are pissed that there is anything in existence that may indicate they are not better. This really shows in the reactions that people are always looking for a way to be better than others. Whatever they can grasp onto to help them believe they are better than everyone around them.<br />I am the sloppy person. As a friend of mine says my house is always a "work in progress". I have helped my "neat" sister in law clean her house, where she commented " now I know why your house is messy" because I was cleaning all the crevices in her kitchen cabinets ( it took hours). She has helped me with my house because it has become crazy messy. When she helped me out she threw out everything. Good, important, and crap. <br />The next time you are on a "neat" persons house, take a look around, I bet if you look at their stuff you will find it to have dust and dirt in the corners of their homes.<br />There is a difference between neat and clean. ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739276638308974133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14284601.post-47836133457391795712012-10-22T19:32:04.672+05:302012-10-22T19:32:04.672+05:30Exactly Out Of Chaos comes order, not out of neatn...Exactly Out Of Chaos comes order, not out of neatness comes order. ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739276638308974133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14284601.post-33856515708509920452012-10-21T21:17:32.189+05:302012-10-21T21:17:32.189+05:30this is clearly entirely humorous, no one should b...this is clearly entirely humorous, no one should be offended by this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
