When he has everyone over to his apartment, the apartment is pretty nice and clean looking. Maybe he's the type of dude that only cleans up for an audience or he and Pam grew into some super bad habits together between the BBQ at the apartment and Jim and Daryl rooming together.

“When he has everyone over to his apartment, the apartment is pretty nice and clean looking. Maybe he's the type of dude that only cleans up for an audience”

So… a single guy?

I was about to say, even the messiest people I know will at least TRY to clean up if they are having people.

Or they just don't have people over

I have one slob friend who will invite me over, the moment I arrive I can tell he started cleaning 5 mins ago. So for the first hour, I have to watch this guy vacuum, unload and reload his dishwasher, pickup trash, all of it.

At least you are inspiring him to clean up!

I have a friend like that, and the whole time he is apologizing for what it looks like, and I'm like" no problem, its OK man" I don't care, I wouldn't come if it really bothered me too much.

This is me! I have pretty severe ADHD and time blindness… I don’t realise that 5 minutes isn’t long enough to do everything, but also body doubling massively helps… feels like super intense pressure to get it all done and dusted so I can actually sit and spend an hour with my friend.

Me and my best friend often make plans just to be able to have a weekly clean up now at each others homes now, because she is the same!

I had a roommate in college that I could always tell when a girl was coming over because he would frantically start cleaning and throwing stuff away an hour or two prior
