I'm not mentioning any names (cough* Mrs. Blutarsky *cough), but SOMEone in our household is known for not fully closing drawers. I don't say anything anymore; I just close them when I see them.

Is anyone else bugged by seeing a drawer that isn't fully closed?

Same at my house. My wife is terrible about it and I have to play clean up constantly. I don't complain though because I'm sure her list of complaints about me is a mile long!

We have a closet in the hallway that is for sheets and towels. That door is left open by my wife and daughter constantly. I probably close it at least 5 times a week

 

It happens every where.

I'm the "leaves drawers open" person in our house. I have no explanation why I don't close drawers, I just don't. I'm the same way with cabinets in the kitchen. I have ZERO OCD tendencies, and would be just as happy living in chaos as I am living in complete order. 

I know a guy who cannot go to sleep unless all the drawers are firmly closed in his bedroom. Needless to say, his wife sometimes puts an item away, right before bed leaving a teeny gap.  He jumps right up to shut it.

You drawer/cabinet closers would have a heart attack if you saw me cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

No issues with doors around my house.   But my daughters are very big on not turning out lights when they leave a room.

I have one of those, but add to that doors on kitchen and bath cabinets, lids on jars and medicine, bags of snacks not closed up, etc.  You'd think after 44 years I'd be used to it......nah-baby-nah.

I only have 1 drawer that drives me nuts if it's not closed, and that's the drawer that houses our garbage cans in the kitchen.  Easy access for the pup when it's open, and no-one closes it fully.  I feel like I close it 10 times a day at minimum.

Now, if we want to talk doors being open, I live in a house full of heathens that leave it open when doing their business.

This is our house too. Between my kids and my wife, our house it lit up light a Christmas tree at night if I don't shut them all off before bed.

Lights aren't really a problem here, especially since all my kids have moved out. Most of the lights in my house are connected to a smart hub, so if anything is left on, I can easily turn it off with an app.

I have looked into those. I might need to invest in one. I use a Nest thermostat that is tied to my phone so I would imagine it is similar. What brand do you use as a smart hub? 

I'm usually the one that leaves them open.
