What does being messy entail?
Basically, it reflects upon the person surrounding that mess - we may conclude that the person is disorganised or worse, lazy.
If a person is too busy and cannot keep even a table-top clear of clutter, that's not being disorganised - that's pure laziness. How did a person become lazy? I have no clue.
Perhaps it has everything to do with having 'pride in one's work'. If we take the trouble, we will clear up the mess. If we have the 'couldn't care less' attitude, we would leave the mess with the other mess.
I wonder then if a messed up attitude equates to a messed up brain cells. Perhaps their brain cells just cannot fanthom why they must put the garbage in the bin and not in some bag hanging on some hook, to later be put in the bin. Why take 2 steps to solve a problem when there is one single step?
It's in the messy brain cells. The cells probably got so messed up that like arterial roads, they become so criss-crossed that the neat information met with some major accident on the way to the thinking area.
I conclude that if we have the correct attitude, mess could never take over.
A couch is for one to rest on, not clothes.
A dining table is kept clear for dinner plates, not mail.
A plastic-bag is for lining the bin, not to be hung like a basketball net.
Cabinets are for storing, not for show.
When I walk into a mess, it's almost like a Prozac call. I really don't know which is worse, depression or staring at the personification of messy.

Oops... i'm a huge mess at home... my room's a total mess... and i fully agree it's just plain laziness at packing up. But my desk at office is pretty decent... haha... maybe it's got to do with "face" too... must maintain image at work.. wahahahaha.
actually, if it's just paper/stuff untidy, i can live with it...but if there are plastic bags (supermarket type) hanging around my kitchen cabinet knobs, it's testing my patience lah....
