… And at worst, actively making your bedroom less functional and more cumbersome to use. The arguments I hear in favor of it are completely asinine and I will address them one by one.
- It makes it more comfortable to sleep in.
I have absolutely no idea where that comes from. Do you all sleep like Dracula? My bedding is usually tussled about within minutes of me laying in bed. Blankets balled up for knee support, one leg sticking out for temperature venting. I couldn’t imagine sliding under the covers and laying perfectly supine like Vladimir Lenin.
- It doesn’t take much time, so you might as well do it.
I find any task not worth my time to be a waste, so unless it has a purpose, it is actively infuriating to do.
- It looks nice. And an unmade bed looks lazy
Given that this is an entirely subjective reason, I can’t exactly “disagree” with it. But if there was someone I trust enough to be in my bedroom, I’m not going to waste my time convincing you that I do not, in fact, sleep in my bed.
Not to mention that if you want to nap or even sit on the end of the bed, you have to make it again. It is an incredibly unstable artwork, making me avoid using my bed unless I really need to.
If you make your bed, I have no judgment for you. Just like people who fold designs into the ends of their toilet paper. I couldn’t imagine caring about something like that, but it literally doesn’t affect me at all, so go nuts.
But I think we should be honest and call it what it is: some kind of shameful cleaning ritual that is probably some vestigial military chore, and I want nothing to do with it.
Don’t make your bed then? I hope you’re being facetious, cuz all I’m getting from this is two things:
You are obsessively preoccupied with other people
You are irrationally critical of people’s behavior that has literally nothing to do with you.
Truthfully; no one gives a fuck about you or your bed. Go outside
I agree people are not allowed to talk about things other people say are important, and if they do they are obsessed or irrational.
Might just be a kid being Rebellious
Probably just hating on Jordan Peterson and venting. I get it - I don’t like making the bed, but it’s not like there just aren’t benefits of doing so lol
Having a tidy living space helps to provide some, and myself, with mental clarity. Honestly not sure how much of this is backed by science, and I’m lazy and don’t want to look it up, but it seems to be true from personal experience.
If you have a thin sheet and a duvet, that stupid thin sheet can get all fucked up over time and you have to take the whole duvet off to fix the thin sheet and then making the bed becomes a much more annoying process. Doing at least a quick tidy up each night helps prevent having to do all of that.
Like you said, they should just leave others to living life the way they want to if it helps them and isn’t hurting anyone else. That’s like if someone said they hate it if someone eats broccoli from the stem first instead of the top. Like, who cares they’re eating healthy, leave them alone lol
