My room has never looked as nice, or as clean as the rooms people apologize for. You go visit a friend, and they hit you with a "Sorry for the mess, it's a disaster in here." and the only thing close to being out of place is a glass of water on the table, because they were still drinking it. I actually am starting to feel like they are doing it on purpose, just to make me feel bad. Is that copium? I'm gonna start to respect people more who are actually willing to invite people to their mess. Is that copium??
You know what's even worse, I know how much of a clean home is a lie, if you grew up Asian you know full well, that if you hire people to come clean your home, like a maid service or something. You spent a good 2 hours cleaning up before they even arrive, so that the house doesn't look dirty to them. Even if you did hire them to clean, can't be having "guests" over to a dirty house right?
