    Every week my place gets cleaned. Every week the cleaning women rearranges my my toiletries and changes my toilet paper roll from the right way to the wrong way. I am thinking about just labeling my entire house with the proper place for all items ... but that might be weird.

        So how long before you finally sucked it up and bought a new wardrobe locally?

        First lunchtime on a trip like that - find the local supermarket and go on from there.

          They kept promising every day that it would be over "tomorrow". It took me about a week to realise I weren't going anywhere and I purchased some clothes (the good thing is I submitted my bills for reimbursement and they had it done). And I did another round of purchasing in a month from there, and one more later a few days before I left.

              I applied preshave oil, worked up lather in the scuttle and when I want to slide in a blade into the razor... THE FOOKIN' PACK OF BLADES IS MISSING - IT'S GONE! Reason? It appears that someone (most probably the father) has 'organised' things in my wardrobe for me. It definitely looked messy earlier, but back then I could find what I wanted instantly. Now it looks good, but I CAN'T SEE SHIZ! This is the second time he's organised things for me in two years. Last time, I almost literally lost a thumb drive and had to search for an hour or so to find it out. I see he's trying to help me, but... I came in late, and have to leave early in the morning (meeting - I wish I could shave). The dinner was at my sister's home, and I forgot my phone there. The parents stayed back there for the night and now I'm doomed. :(( Organising things. Give me a break. :suss:

              I know how it feels. I'm a mess too. But I can find anything in that mess. As soon as girlfriend or mom or... organize things I'm doomed to hours of search for well almost anything. DeOrganize is the only way out. :)

                  I know that feeling. :laugh: :laugh: About 4 years ago, I was sent on a trip (duration uncertain, but was told would it would be two to four days). I had packed enough stuff for three days, and I had to pull off three months.

                                That is just so wrong. If "over", when you pull quickly to tear off a section, all your force is applied as torque around the axis, unrolling the roll. If "under", your force is counter to the mass of the roll, so overcomes the strength of the weakened lines, tearing the section off.

                                Accept the bleeding obvious! It's all around you!
