I had a friend that had a new pickup truck back in the day. It was shortly after the radical body style change to RAM pickup trucks. I remember thinking it was a beautiful truck. Any ways, one day he took me out for lunch and I was absolutely appalled as to the condition of the truck which was no more than a year old. The interior was filthy beyond description. The mess included dirty diapers strewn about and a huge untouched Strawberry milkshake stain all down the dash and on the floor. I was ankle deep in garbage. My friend was a working professional with a college degree raised in a middle class home. It wasn't like some swamp person won the lottery or some such nonsense. I spent my entire time inside the truck thinking: Why would someone allow this? It still puzzles me to this day.

I can't stand a mess in my car. Mine is pretty bad right now...but for me that amounts to "an empty cup on the floor and a (unrelated) sticky cup holder from some spilled soda that dried there". But then again, my car is a convertible, so if I don't keep it clean I could potentially face littering charges :laugh:

Yes, that sort of behavior bamboozles me, too. The notion that you spend a lot of money on something and then treat it like crap is completely discombobulating. Perhaps it's because I am a neat freak that mess of that nature so repulses me.

The worst mess my car has seen was after I drank too much at a party and decided to sleep it off in my car. I paid a professional to clean it the next day.

So this is a Randomly Accessed Memory about a RAM truck? For the first year after I bought my first new car, there wasn't a spot in it. Now it is three and a half years old and the inside is still fairly clean. A couple of small spots of unknown origin, a scuff mark or two, but that is it. Drives my girlfriend insane when I get onto her about leaving trash in the map pocket on the door. My arguement is if I let it get dirty, it will only get worse as I don't like to clean.

The weirdest job interview question I ever had was "If I looked in your car right now, what would I find?" I don't think your friend would have gotten that job. I agree though, I can't stand a mess. Then again, people can stand their own mess easier than someone elses.

It's amazing what people are willing to put up with, myself included. It is a form of laziness - there is no doubt. But for me it has been a gradual wearing down of my need to keep everything perfect. External pressures of young children and what _seems_ like a total unwillingness for others to clean up after themselves really wears you down over the years. It's all perception, and when you write it out, it seems like a lame excuse, because it is. My car gets totally disgusting, and I hate it, but I am so disheartened by it, I can't be bothered cleaning it. All because I know that in 48 hours, it'll be back to being disgusting again and I don't have the inclication any more to detail the car once a week. I don't know the guy, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and help the guy clean his car.

That sounds a bit extreme, in that there's actually nasty rubbish in there, but some of us just don't really care about keeping our space clean and tidy. My flat has clothes on the floor, empty bottles on the slab (actually not today since it was recycling day yesterday), papers on all the flat surfaces, needs a hoovering and a couple of days' of plates in to soak in the sink. I'm sure it would appal you but I don't care, as long as there's nothing there which starts to smell or do damage to the carpets or anything else hard to clear up.
