If you live alone and you don't care how it looks or how many dust bunnies are mating in the corners...
If you haven't cleaned your shower in a decade or more...
If people shudder when they look inside your fridge... Well, maybe they should stay out of your fridge. But I'm just saying...
Does that mean you're a person of poor character? Let's say you love kittens and puppies and donate to animal causes, are you still a reprobate because your home doesn't pass the white glove test?
I'm sincerely interested in this question: Is there a connection between being a slob and being a horrible human being?
Of course there's no connection. But people will tend to see it as a personal failing.
There might be problems there but that doesn't necessarily mean being a bad person for having them. Depression can manifest in being unable to keep a tidy home.
Regarding landlords inspecting with odd excuses to snoop...
Every single year, around the same time, we are told that someone is considering buying the building of townhomes where we live, and we've got to give them a tour around our place. We get contacted by the property management to schedule this. Every. Year. And every year, no one actually buys the property. I've wondered every time this has happened, if they're just checking to see how we live, if we're trashing the place or have unauthorized pets or people or anything like that. I don't actually mind them coming and having a look around, I just wish that if that's why they would simply say so. I guess they figure people would hide any evidence of rule-breaking if they just came out and called it an inspection. But I'm on the up and up, so I don't really care.
The only thing is, my fiance lives in the basement (it's his own space and kept locked, so my sons don't go down there, though they're adults now anyways) and he has it decorated with quite a bit of adult artwork on the walls. So I always warn the people doing the walk-through about that, because they're gonna walk away feeling like they need some brain-bleach more likely than not. Oh, well. There's no rule against it. lol *shrug*
Why doesn't the owner invite a can collector in, to gather them up for the deposits? They'd both he happy. This discussion has me wondering if early people kept their caves spotlessly clean?
Wonder if cavewomen got together and gossiped about how the cavewoman who lived a couple of caves down kept her cave.
I keep my house as clean as I can, given there's a feral husband roaming around.
It's hard isn't it? LOL
