My husband wins the untidier/chaotic awards hands down...I sometimes suspect he has Hoarder tendencies...
Mark Wollschlager
We were equal in that regard.

I tend to be more tidy, in that it upsets me to be in an aesthetically uncomfortable environment. Certainly, I entertain quite a lot of chaos.

I am a Chaos Muppet. Jill is an Order Muppet.

Every Last One of Us Is a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet

Every once in a while, an idea comes along that changes the way we all look at ourselves forever. Before Descartes, nobody knew they were thinking....

Olympia has a lotttttt of "free boxes" or places where people leave things out for others.

way more than Seattle.
Karl Auerbach
I think my patron goddess is Eris -- goddess of strife and discord. I create piles of stuff, piles of clothes, stacks of papers. When we travel I wander randomly (my wife plans every step far in advance.) Anyone want this golden apple that bears the words "For the fairest"?

Chaotic Good is the only worthwhile alignment. The rest all tend towards evil.
Joseph Teller
Strangely in many things I am the one that is tidier (even though mentally I align more with non-conformity and chaos of a sort) when it comes to our living space. Probably because I am the one with less mobility and have to make things work for my limits rather than that of those around me. My ability to move around and function in the space safely and find what I need without too much bending or climbing. My wife on the other hand tends to be a stacker rather than a filer and often misplaces her things in her workspace.
Cass
Other person is more chaotic but…maybe it's just because it's their need instead of mine😄
roddio
I play both parts.
Deb Zaccaro-Rojas
I attempt often to go thru stuff and toss. Grimm refers to it as 'nesting' which is an infuriating term to be used as I'm NOT 'nesting' but 'throwing away!!'

He doesn't throw away. He has a bloody garbage bag with mail in it he claims he has to go thru. For the last 7months. It's not been gone thru.

I might just make it disappear.
Andreas G
He could "go through" it by spilling it on the floor and rolling around in it, like the Scrooge mcDuck of unsorted mail.
Lisa Stranger
We are both what our society would consider slobs—which is probably good for our marriage (no neat one nagging the messy one), but not so great for our living situation. We will never know how much better that might have been with proper medication.

I live alone and I'm rather tidy. But my ex-boyfriend is staying for the summer holidays and has invaded my house with hundreds of shampoo and alike bottles, gadgets, clothes and shoes everywhere... He never closes closet and cabinet doors. It used to drive me nuts, but this year I'm getting used to that chaos, he's a nice guy and good company 🙄
Lisa Stranger
@Jon Alcibar (main) not closing cabinet doors is probably ADHD—same thing we both have

I won't tell him. He'll get mad.😄

clarification: by "we" I meant myself and Mr. Stranger

The computer minded people I hang out with oftentimes are, in their entirety, called The Chaos. The term is used as a term of honour. No particular sense of order or orderliness is implied. When mingling, chaos is less suit and tie and more cargo pants and t-shirts. And fishnet see through and all the rainbow too.

A hacker called sushee summarized that nicely in a blog post ca. 2005. if you're a hacker and use chaos as the reason to be unorganized you're holding it wrong.

Me, Id be the more chaotic person in this relationship, in an episodic way. . When recently transitioning from one job to the next, getting an IT equipment zoo in order and sent back was due.

Boxes, filling material and laptops everywhere. This mildly infuriating state was temporary, fortunately, but too good to not share
