    I curb this by keeping a paper grocery bag behind the passenger seat and replace it when it gets halfway.

    Also just emptying it completely every oil change (3 months). Backbacks, boxes, bags, umbrellas, jackets, hats or anything random gets removed.

    Had the opposite situation with a colleague. Told us his car was a mess, expected this. But he had the cleanest, most pristine, old Mercedes I have ever seen.

      Those are the two types of people. Overly anal about cleaning, or overly dirty pile of trash in need of anal. I don’t make the rules I just follow them

    On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I’m used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

    On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.

    If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.

    I’ve seen this a lot with work cars and/or with people who work construction. Tbh my own car needs weekly cleaning not to resemble this because during the week you’re just too tired to give a shit or clean it in the evening

      My work truck looks like this most days. I spent 4-6 hours per day driving in remote areas/off-road.

      I have more sensitive gear and equipment I need for my job in the back seat The bed is also usually full of equipment that is not as sensitive.

      I keep a cooler full of water and several boxes of granola bars inside.

      So whenever I fill up the tank, I spend a few minutes tossing trash out of the truck. It’s the only way I have found to keep the pile of mess somewhat under control.

      Once I year I clear out the truck and have it detailed to start fresh on the dirt buildup.
