A video circulating on Reddit humorously captures the everyday struggle of finding personal items at home. The protagonist vents about their belongings constantly being moved around, expressing frustration over the lack of a permanent spot for frequently used items. The video resonates with many who share similar experiences in their households.

Comments under the video reveal a broad spectrum of reactions, from empathy to shared laughter. One user humorously mentions, "Sending to my wife. She will not find this funny," highlighting the relatable nature of the content. Another user adds, "This is great. My wife and I have different ideas of what 'organized' is. She keeps hiding things and I like things that I frequently use in the open."

A nostalgic memory is shared by a user who recalls, "I was reading a book at my auntie's house when I was a kid. I put my book down to go to the bathroom. When I got back, my book was gone. My auntie hadn't even been in the room when I left, but she swooped in and put my book away on the shelf. It was my book that I'd brought from my house!"

Not everyone deals with overly tidy partners. One user comments, "I have the exact opposite problem. Junk, junk everywhere." Another shares their unique form of retaliation, "In retaliation, I usually hide the 20 cushions that rest on our sofa."

The video also sparks a detailed rant about pillow arrangements: "At my girlfriend's place, her bed is made with 7 pillows. 2 insanely stiff ones, 2 laughably small ones, and 3 pillows that are sleepable. When I ask her why she does this, the answer is 'well hotel rooms do it too and it looks nice doesn't it?' Well, it looks nice UNTIL you actually want to use your bed. At which point you toss out 5 pillows to the floor because they are clutter. Then comes the morning, she has to get to work in a rush and the pillows just lay there, being all messy. It's not useful or eye-candy. It's a burden. I absolutely hate it."

The video effectively captures the essence of living in a constantly 'organized' environment, striking a chord with viewers who find it both funny and relatable. As one user aptly puts it, "Funny, relatable, and still manages to undersell how annoying this sort of 'organizing' is."

For those dealing with similar situations, this video and its associated comments provide a comforting reminder that they are not alone in their quest to find their belongings "where it was."

Sending to my wife.  She will not find this funny

This is great. My wife and I have different ideas of what "organized" is. She keeps hiding things and I like things that I frequently use in the open.

Just a message from the future: this behavior turns in to throwing your stuff away without asking.

I was reading a book at my aunties house when I was a kid. I put my book down to go to the bathroom. When I got back my book was gone. My auntie hadn't even been in the room when I left, but she swooped in and put my book away on the shelf. It was my book that I'd brought from my house!

I’m gonna rant for a bit. At my girlfriends’ place, her bed is made with 7 pillows. 2 insanely stiff ones, 2 laughably small ones and 3 pillows that are sleepable. When I ask her why she does this the answer is “well hotel rooms do it too and it looks nice doesn’t it?” Well it looks nice UNTILL you actually want to use your bed. At which point you toss out 5 pillows to the floor because they are clutter. Then comes the morning, she has to get to work in a rush and the pillows just lay there, being all messy. It’s not useful, or eye-candy. It’s a burden. I absolutely hate it.

JFC this is my mom. I told them I’m not visiting for the holidays anymore since I like to cook, they don’t, and she must have an immaculate kitchen.

I have the exact opposite problem. Junk, junk everywhere.

Haha yes, my partner thinks this is what's happening. In actuality, his bed night stand has a thick black goo over coins, on the wall, and on the AC remote control, that hasn't been cleaned, by my count, in 5 months. It's hard to be objective about one's own sense of neatness/cleanliness
