Are you a clutterbug or neat and tidy?

I am mostly neat and tidy. I hate it when my surroundings is untidy and all cluttered. Of course it will get messy and there are times when I am just too lazy or tired to tidy up but it will never remain that way for very long. At work my boss and my fellow co worker are unrepentant clutter bugs. Imagine my misery. I have learnt though that one of the worst task one can take up in this life is to keep on tidying up behind a clutter bug. I have told them that as soon as we get some other stuff in the office I will be marking off my zone which they had better not cross. I cant wait. Are you more like me or my boss and co worker? Neat and tidy or clutter bug? Are you okay with sharing space with a clutter bug? The guys at work get into each others way as they have to dig through stuff to find what they want a lot of times and then they start mouthing each other about how untidy the other is. I guess even clutter bugs get on each others nerves with their cluttering. What do you think?

I am not so neat and tidy but i am no clutterbug either. Sometimes my room gets messy but at least it's my room and not somebody elses room hehe. My table once was very cluttered with things but I don't want anyone organizng them because i will not know where to look for a pen or the card or whatever. But i have outgrown that stage and keeps things more organized this time. But i don't like it when the living room is cluttered with stuff and you get to pick up and clean the mess. My brother is clutterbug when he gets home and he just put shirts, bag, etc on the sofa and forgets where he puts them. Sometimes I just let him and others mess around but when they go it's back to neat and tidy but no so, i just like to call it normal. yes, I don't like to share room with a clutterbug and I don't like either one who is soooo neat and tidy that even a small piece of paper or dust will make a difference.

Even a little clutter makes life balance. Id hate to have to share with someone who is immaculately neat as well. Somewhat like a Monk personality. Too much neatness can be just as disturbing as too much clutter. Thanks for sharing Sandy.

I don't mind a lot of clutter if the clutter is really put into it's place. However, when the clutter seems to be thrown all over the place and seems to be carelessly left around, then I really start having issues with it. I don't mind the lived in feeling or anything, but I wish the clutter was a bit more organized you know? Then it at least looks neat.

I guess I know what you mean. There are times when things get really messed up and stay that way for some time because I have to be in and out having much to do. Even then I like to have that mess not looking all out of control.

I usually let things get cluttered and than end up cleaning them up all at one time.
