LollipopLustKil · 25th July 2004, 00:22

That officemax link gives me a session timed out error. That case looks schweet, though.

deeder7001 · 25th July 2004, 00:55

Nice.

It's a little bigger than the corner unit I have at the moment.

month

Maybe your dog is under the chair, man.

k_rock923 · 25th July 2004, 01:51

wow. there actually is a room out there thats worse than mine.

beanboy89 · 25th July 2004, 03:46

When I cleaned my room it only took about three hours, but it wasen't as messy as that is.

I say it will take around a month.

MidnightViper88 · 25th July 2004, 04:48

Now, I know I go by the Motorhead words of "Born To Raise Hell", and I've trashed hotel rooms at some times almost or even worser than that, but I could never imagine living with it...My room sometimes gets so trashed you can't even see the carpet anymore, but I don't have a computer case and a mess of wires sprawling across the floor or a damn cantalope bowl on my desktop!

LOL see im a neat freak if im not at home, but at home I dont give a fuck.
My shrink said that the reason I didnt really give a fuck about my room was because I felt crappy inside, and since my room is mine, I left it crappy too.

Cognition · 25th July 2004, 05:02

There's been messier.

deeder7001 · 25th July 2004, 06:59

i usually rearange my room when i clean it. it usually takes about 5 hours or more.

DragonSon · 25th July 2004, 07:29

My room is usually neat and clean. Only a few times when I was really busy with work have I let it slip.

lostonline · 25th July 2004, 09:29

My room is a bit of a mess but if I got round to it I could tidy it in a day (but I usually get distracted when I start). You could tidy it in a day or so if you got on with it.

NJK · 25th July 2004, 10:11

just wait untill you moved out to your own place, it will never be a mess again.

Rocker · 25th July 2004, 10:29

I usually can't see my carpet.

but that chair was fricken art dude.

mark · 25th July 2004, 11:32

i voted art.

CaptainNuss · 25th July 2004, 12:18

I just cleaned my room a few weeks ago as well. I was pretty thorough, throwing everything out I didn't need and looking through all my stuff. Based on that, I'd say it'll probably take about three weeks to a month.

So, what do I win?

eleet-2k2 · 25th July 2004, 14:28

At least a month! You seem to comfortable with that mess to want to clean it up.

MidnightViper88 · 25th July 2004, 14:33

If he cleans it up, it might be like changing the habitat; It's gonna be hard to adapt to a clean room...

Psythik · 25th July 2004, 18:02

It took me about 8 hours to clean my room when it looked like that...

mikm · 25th July 2004, 18:21

What we should REALLY bet on is how long the room will stay clean.

Less than a day.

BMWboy · 25th July 2004, 19:42

I've done far worse than that. call me back when you just have 12" wide walking paths to get to the important parts of the room. I finally decided to clean it up when I realized I could see less than 10% of the carpet in my room.

BTW, it took me 4 months from when I said I'd clean it to when I actually cleaned it. However, lately, I've kept the room quite clean, I think because it took me so long to clean it that I don't want to have to clean it again.

Nuke it.

Well my room is separate from the computer room. Both are generally clean with nothing on the floor.

Nah, it only took about three full (18 hour) days to clean it up.

whiteflip · 25th July 2004, 23:28

That room looks clean to me. My room is the size of my friends entire apartment

(reasons i havent moved out yet...) and would take hours to fully clean. Probably around 18 or so man hours.

ctn|chrisw · 30th July 2004, 01:02
