" 1.\u00A0You just do not have time for anyone that doesn&amp;#039;t put the toothpaste cap back on properly.\u00A0 It&amp;#039;s just another form of\u00A0cruelty. Cruelty against neat people.\u00A0 2.\u00A0Having a disorganised friend to stay pushes your endurance levels to the limit.\u00A0 So her shit&amp;#039;s all over your bedroom and she&amp;#039;s tried on twenty of your tops without putting them back on the hanger again? Totally not stressful at ALL.\u00A0 3.\u00A0You pre-clean your hotel\u00A0room when you&amp;#039;re on holiday.\u00A0 You&amp;#039;re a maid&amp;#039;s dream come true. But the person you&amp;#039;re staying with will probably\u00A0condemn your actions as &amp;quot;pointless&amp;quot;.\u00A0 4.\u00A0A trip to Ikea is one of the most exciting things you could possibly put in your diary.\u00A0 Drawer dividers, shoe hangers, under bed boxes...\u00A0SO many new organising opportunities it makes your head spin.\u00A0 5.\u00A0Your friends can&amp;#039;t get over how ridiculously\u00A0organised your beauty products are.\u00A0 They could have\u00A0all this\u00A0too, if only they tried.\u00A0  6.\u00A0Living with other people is hard when they don&amp;#039;t understand your very specific organising system in the kitchen.\u00A0 &amp;quot;Why is the cheese grater in that cupboard when you know it goes in this drawer?\u00A0We&amp;#039;ve been through this.&amp;quot; 7.\u00A0You have a weird\u00A0aversion to the TV volume being on an &amp;#039;odd&amp;#039; number.\u00A0 Odd numbers just have no neat\u00A0symmetry.\u00A0 8.\u00A0You&amp;#039;re itching to give your messy friends a makeover.\u00A0 Like in She&amp;#039;s All That, but less about makeup, more about teaching them the many benefits of a\u00A0tidy sock drawer. Alas some people just cannot be fixed.\u00A0 9.\u00A0When your work colleagues ask what your weekend plans are and you substitute &amp;#039;having a nice deep\u00A0clean&amp;#039; with a more fun-sounding lie. I&amp;#039;m going to a gig. And\u00A0er, bungee-jumping.\u00A0 10.\u00A0When something you own breaks,\u00A0part of you does an excited dance.\u00A0 No matter how much you loved that something, ANY excuse to throw something out is a reason to celebrate.\u00A0  11.\u00A0You stockpile Flash Wipes and you&amp;#039;re not ashamed to admit it.\u00A0 (Yes they&amp;#039;re expensive but those gleaming shiny surfaces are worth every damn\u00A0penny). 12.\u00A0Hoarder documentaries are the equivalent of watching a horror film.\u00A0 So. Much. Unnecessary.\u00A0Junk. *Hyperventilates* 13.\u00A0When you can&amp;#039;t seem to focus or get motivated at work, you realise it&amp;#039;s probably because your empty mug is still on your desk from this morning and it&amp;#039;s totally throwing off your Feng Shui. A little desk-tidy does wonders for the mind.\u00A0 14.\u00A0When your friends are still lounging around your house after crashing at yours the night before and you just want them to leave so you can TIDY THE HELL UP.\u00A0 In the nicest possible way. 15.\u00A0You&amp;#039;re the organiser of your friendship group.\u00A0 And rest assured, any outings you do organise will be planned to military precision.\u00A0  16. But you&amp;#039;re also the passive aggressive\u00A0note-writer of your house-share.\u00A0 Everyone&amp;#039;s had one of your poison pen letters. But do they ever listen? NO.\u00A0 17.\u00A0You cannot and will not deal with an unmade bed.\u00A0 Even if you&amp;#039;re exhausted and just about to get INTO bed, you&amp;#039;ll still spend ages making it up perfectly (including arranging the 47 decorative cushions/mini pillows). Peace at last.\u00A0 18.\u00A0If you could choose between a supermarket sweep in Topshop and a supermarket sweep down the cleaning products aisle in Tesco, you know which you&amp;#039;d choose.\u00A0 Mainly because the post-rummaging wonky hangers in Topshop stress you the hell out.\u00A0 19.\u00A0Spring is your fave season, due to spring cleaning.\u00A0 YOU spring clean all year round, obvs, but it&amp;#039;s the only time of year you can go to your friends or family&amp;#039;s houses without having an internal panic attack about the hellish\u00A0mess.\u00A0 20.\u00A0Reorganising your wardrobe when the season changes is your favourite thing ever.\u00A0 Folding, colour-coding and neatly hanging clothes are among your top hobbies.\u00A0  21.\u00A0You hate unannounced visitors.\u00A0 Even though yours is clearly the tidiest house anyone has ever been to, probably ever,\u00A0you&amp;#039;ll still profusely apologise for &amp;quot;the mess&amp;quot; when there&amp;#039;s a rogue pair of shoes cluttering up the place.\u00A0 22.\u00A0Your local charity shop LOVES you.\u00A0 A side effect of not hanging onto crap you don&amp;#039;t need is that you donate a lot of stuff.\u00A0 23. You&amp;#039;ve definitely lost friends over people not using coasters.\u00A0 WHY WOULD YOU INTENTIONALLY RUIN A TABLE? WHYYYYY?\u00A0 24. But on the bright side, you barely ever lose things.\u00A0 Because unlike the rest of this scatty world, everything you own has it&amp;#039;s place.\u00A0  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
