Needs a clip of them foraging for clean undies in it without putting anything else away.
Yes, but that is literally everyone.
I love immediately unpacking. Makes me feel at home ^^ but I’m weird
I can’t stand the clutter. There’s enough of that in my brain already so I always unpack fairly quickly.
Neurotypical, can’t relate. Put your shit away.
ADHD, can’t relate. I’ll put my shit away within first hour after moving in.
Realistic but the key to emptying the suitcase is using the clothing it holds.
Then they eventually make their way to their true natural home; the dryer.
OK, this one hit home a little to close for comfort
Wouldn’t adhd be starting the task repeatedly, picking up 1 piece, then moving on to something else?

Absolutely don’t understand how it’s related to ADHD
Have you ever seen a neurotypical person actively see and step over a problem/task for multiple weeks and not do it? And like, fairly often?
(I’m sure there is a specific mechanism that explains it but I’m to tired to figure it out rn)
Yes
Yes, my very neurotypical wife can do that. While my hyperactivity push me to unpack immediately. I just constantly forget about important things. But when I see problem I solve it immediately, even when I shouldn’t.
Report it to a moderator, then they can yank it.
I dump out the content of my luggage on the floor when I arrive home. Then it’s easy to clean it up piece by piece, sort into heaps and such.
Too real tbh
Make that a month
When the cats pee in it it’s time to move it out of the hall and to the bedroom
for real though
Me and my wife still haven’t unpacked fully from moving. We just signed our first lease renewal and will have been living here a year in November.
When I got out of college in 2015, I packed my suitcase; a month ago, I unpacked it while getting reday to move (I moved 5 other times in between without ever unpacking it, or packing anything new it).
Sounds like it might be time to get rid of some stuff
I had a similar story which I relayed to my boss once.
He said “at that point it just sounds like storage.”
That reminds me, I should probably unpack soon…
