Does the site of garbage and messy areas bother anybody?

Post Reply New Topic

Hey guys,

I'm posting this in the random questions forum, mainly because I get heat for constantly segregating aspies and NT's which I don't mean to do.
Anywyas, this question is for anybody, but especially Aspies : Does the site of roadside litter and tp on bathroom floors or any other really unneccessarily cluttered and disheveled communal areas bother you?
How hard is it for people to try and keep a bathroom clean? How hard it is for people to put garbage away and clean up after themselves? Honestly it really bothers me that people are so pathetically lazy. If you wanna keep your bedroom a pig sty then be my guest, but I hate the constant inconsideration to make an effor not to mess up public areas that are shared with a lot of people.

Roadside litter annoys me becuase 1) I'm an environmentalist and that is just so harmful and 2) its just lazy, find a garbage.

Sorry , one more thing just to clarify - I don't judge people on how they keep their bedroom or house- but being a lazy pig in public is what annoys me

I hate litter!

Yes.

I don't mind garbage. I live in squalor, at least in my own room (the rest of the house is kept clean by my mom). My indifference towards filth is actually worrisome, because I'm afraid that I'll turn into a hoarder one day.

I hate garbage and litter.
My room is messy, though.

I hate litter equally at my place and outside. I even didn't have a real garbage bin for some years, so as not to have the garbage pile up. I collected the trash into small plastic bags and had them taken out at least once a day (now I have bins, but they are really small and have to be emptied frequently).
I might shout at messy people (I mean, when they do it in public) but mostly I resort to cleaning after everyone so as not to have to live and work surrounded by anyone's mess. Actually, I can't (well, I can, but it is anxiety-provoking) to leave my apartment or my workplace without making sure that the trash bins are emptied - I just can't leave it just quietly fermenting there. And I can't just casually leave trash just lying around, as many people do where I live. So I am prepared to walk for miles until I find a trash can.

I don't care one way or the other, though I like to try and keep as clean as a home as I can.

i'm 37 and yes, i say my age cus when i was younger my friends would tell everyone that i am a huge envromentalist(1989 it wasn't the norm) just because if i saw someone throw trash on the ground i would tell them to pick it up or i would just do it.

and now i live in a rooming house, and i prob. shouldn't go down that road, so just peer down my why.....

dirty dishes
tp.....pieces everywhere(little egzageration(sp))
food, anywhere
doors left open
showers are.....really suprizingly good?
and in places like this the cleaning is monitored by the person w/ the highest level of ocd.

though w/ that said since i was young i decided to be my own doctor, and w/ my introvert side growing, my social anziatys(sp) getting worse, the foced social interaction is helping me greatly.my dad only can deal w/ people for about an hour a day, at his rules....mostly talks to salesmen and store workers, they have to listen

Yes, especially when there is a garbage can/recycling bin/compost or whatever 3 feet away. Is it really that hard to walk 3 feet to throw something away? I understand that things fall out of people's pockets and blow out of the garbage sometimes, but please, it's not that hard to walk a few feet to throw something in garbage. If for whatever reason you can't walk 3 feet, why do you need to I am also big on the environment. My school is the worst place for this, by one of the doorways going into the school, there is always SO MUCH litter there. Same with the bathrooms. I remember there was one day when it was SO dirty, I wouldn't go in there. The washrooms at my school aren't great in the first place, the ground is dusty and the noise when people's shoes scrape across the floor is awful. The toliet paper is super thin and hard, the soap is really harsh, smells bad and makes your hands dry and I feel uncomfortable using the washroom when there are people hanging out in there which they do a lot of at my school. It's even worse if they make a comment about you! Also, sometimes they stink as the fans aren't very good since the school old, but, I have to use them because when you got to go, you got to go. Sorry, got a little off topic there.

Yes. I hate it when smokers toss their fags on the ground. I can't stand seeing litter on the side of the road or in parks and I have seen these guys leave their trash at the bus stop on the bench. I am so afraid to say anything though. If I knew them I would tell them to not do that but I don't know what kind of people they are.

It also used to piss me off when my family leave their garbage or dirty dishes or dirty clothes lying around. Sometimes it bugs me when my husband trashes our room with garbage but thank god I don't sleep in there. He doesn't even take out his won trash either so it gets piled up and over filled and it falls out of the bag.

A messy public place, street, town etc. will bother me simply because it shows neglect and will feel seedy and won't feel like a safe place to be.

I always say something, usually "Hey! Pick that up and throw it in the can!" I am scary that way. I pick up litter and put it in the can too.

I am resistant to the mess in my residence, almost as though I do not see it.

I dislike mess in the local woodlands. I get satisfaction from picking up the litter there with a local environmental action group. It looks a lot nicer without the trash. As well as general litter, people dump refrigerators, furniture, tyres, garden waste, and anything else that they can't be bothered to dispose of responsibly. My worst find was a large cache of used nappies. I am very sensitive to the smell of baby-poo, and I was in much distress carrying that away.
