I was in between what to watch on Netflix and decided to check out 'Tidying Up' with Marie Kondo. I am a neat freak and always delight in new ways to organize and simplify my life. I haven't even finished the first episode and I had my rant figured out. It was so rank with stupidity that I'm not sure if I will continue watching it. Of course, I'll watch it, the people watching is fascinating.
The couple featured on the episode are suffering anxiety because they have too much stuff and they can't keep their house clean. Husband and wife talk about the toll this anxiety is taking on their marriage and both tear up over this terrible problem of theirs that results in frequent fights. They are both at a loss as to how to fix this ghastly disaster they call life. Their problem is precisely what's wrong with Americans.
The couple has so much stuff that they have no place to put it. They are not hoarders. They are fairly typical Americans. Their closets, dressers, cupboards are bursting with things and they have piles in some areas of things that need to be put away but the mom feels she is too busy with the two small children. She is also too busy to do the dishes and she can't do the laundry because she hates it. You read that right, she can't do laundry because she hates it. I had no idea that the disdain of a task could render you physically incapable. The couple has hired someone to come in and do the laundry because of this loathsome chore. The reason for the piles of clothes is because after the laundry-for-hire help washes it, the mom can't fold it or put it away because she just hates that so much too. I should mention that the husband works 50-60 hours per week. He doesn't feel like doing the laundry either.
These people are pathetic. They cry about how hard life is and how they just can't figure out how to make it better. Because Marie Kondo is a nicer person than I am (or because Netflix doesn't want her verbally berating morons) she kindly helps them de-clutter and tidy their home. She should wear a cape because she's a god damn super hero for not loosing her sh!t on these lazy excuses for adults.
I'm going to go full rant here so please stop reading if you don't care for strong language and/or constructive criticism.
Here's the problem, this couple, just like millions of Americans are f*cking morons with an unhealthy sense of entitlement. Act like an adult. Go to work, save money, pay your bills, put money into retirement. Stop buying sh!t that you don't need and live within your means. Clean your damn house and do your laundry, even if you hate it. Be responsible. Crying about your clutter is not an option. Not having money because you wasted it is not an option. I don't have any pity for self-made problems. Stop being a blubbering idiot and act like the adult you are supposed to be. I may sound harsh but you know I'm right.
End rant.
