Realistic but the key to emptying the suitcase is using the clothing it holds.

Then they eventually make their way to their true natural home; the dryer.
When the cats pee in it it’s time to move it out of the hall and to the bedroom
2 weeks ? Those are rookie numbers, I still have my tuxedo hanging on the coat rack in my hall, from a wedding I went to in june... 2024
I'd put it back in my dressing room, but I have another wedding in october so...
Dressing room?
Is this a joke im too plebe to understand?
It's a 3m² hallway next to my bedroom that I turned into a "dressing room", nothing fancy, made the rack and shelves myself
Needs a clip of them foraging for clean undies in it without putting anything else away.
Yes, but that is literally everyone.
I love immediately unpacking. Makes me feel at home ^^ but I’m weird
I can't stand the clutter. There's enough of that in my brain already so I always unpack fairly quickly.
Neurotypical, can't relate. Put your shit away.
ADHD, can't relate. I'll put my shit away within first hour after moving in.
When I got out of college in 2015, I packed my suitcase; a month ago, I unpacked it while getting reday to move (I moved 5 other times in between without ever unpacking it, or packing anything new it).
Sounds like it might be time to get rid of some stuff
I had a similar story which I relayed to my boss once.
He said "at that point it just sounds like storage."
That reminds me, I should probably unpack soon...
Me and my wife still haven't unpacked fully from moving. We just signed our first lease renewal and will have been living here a year in November.
OK, this one hit home a little to close for comfort
for real though
Make that a month
Wouldn't adhd be starting the task repeatedly, picking up 1 piece, then moving on to something else?
Too real tbh
Absolutely don't understand how it's related to ADHD
Report it to a moderator, then they can yank it.
Have you ever seen a neurotypical person actively see and step over a problem/task for multiple weeks and not do it? And like, fairly often?
Yes, my very neurotypical wife can do that. While my hyperactivity push me to unpack immediately. I just constantly forget about important things. But when I see problem I solve it immediately, even when I shouldn't.
(I'm sure there is a specific mechanism that explains it but I'm to tired to figure it out rn)
I have boxes of stuff from three moves ago, I finally unpacked them. Now I have two or three of almost every kitchen utensil. I'll sort them out into a box for getting rid of, soon... I suspect the "soon" will take a long time, and that the discard-box might just become a repeat of the prior cycle.
I need more rooms to store my trash in.
I dump out the content of my luggage on the floor when I arrive home. Then it’s easy to clean it up piece by piece, sort into heaps and such.
