Yes, I know, it’s a cluttered. You can’t expect a man to focus on fixing things AND worry about keeping things tidy. There are only so many hours in a day. And don’t you dare move a thing! I know it looks like chaos to you, but to me it’s highly-organized and I know where everything is. I can’t spare the thirty minutes I’ll have to spend looking for a screwdriver if you tidy up. I know you’re here to help. I’ve written you a list of instructions. Help me find my glasses and I’ll read it off to you.
