Ah, I should have been more clear. What you said makes perfect sense. I was somewhat teasing key tones, and when I put "storage solutions" in quotes I was referring to those advertised miracle/superior organizers that you see on TV or in flashy catalogs. Of course, containers will work. But if they were truly concerned and motivated, they could have just used any boxes or containers they had lying around rather than laying blame on the lack of an expensive and overwrought "system" of some kind.
I guess I've just known way too many people who expect the organizers to somehow do the organizing and cleaning for them without any physical action or effort on their part. A curious expectation, to say the least. 
And as long as I don't have to live with them, I don't care if people are messy. Not for me to tell people how to live. Besides, if I visit I'll just put these mess-blocking shades on.   |
Hahah, I get it. I wonder sometimes if it is possible to change or not. I was always so fastidiously neat, and then I changed. I think I'm a weird case because of trauma. I do think that people can adjust their habits. But just like anything that comes naturally or doesn't, you have to work at it. Will I ever be naturally neat? No. Absolutely not. But I can maintain some level of organization as part of healthy habits I have developed. I have accepted that about myself.
I think the worst part of the messy or neat debate (not here but in society) is that each side seems to judge the other. It's neither here nor there, it's just the way someone's brain functions.
