- Changing the sheets.
- Someone is going to see my bedroom. (And even then, it's usually not really making the bed as much as throwing my comforter over the lumps...unless it's my mom then I make it properly.)
Other than those reasons, I don't understand why I would waste 2 minutes every morning doing something I will be un-doing later that day and that no one else will see.
I think there are probably 3 types of people in this world - those that make the bed religiously each morning, those that make it occasionally (myself), and those who never make their bed (you know, the people that sleep in sleeping bags made for camping NOT your bedroom! Which is so disgusting, how do you wash those? But I digress...). I wonder if any psychological studies have looked at people who make their bed and if so, if this task relates to other personality traits.
I imagine people that make their bed each morning are the same people that iron their jeans, label their food containers, and pay their bills the same day they open their mail. I imagine these are the orderly, tidy, list-followers (I use the term list-followers because I am a list-maker but don't ever actually seem to follow the list) that we all love and hate. The people who have "guest-towels" (never understood this concept, although at wedding showers amongst these bed-makers I pretend to see the importance); follow receipes (cooking is an art, live outside the box and just throw shit in the pot...if it tastes like crap, call it an experiment); and do their dishes as soon as they finish using them.
This is not me. I realize the importance of differences. We can't all be the same...or it would be very boring. But I will never be a bed-maker.
