I have always had this problem. I have always hated it when furniture would get moved like someone decides to move a chair to another spot for temporarily so they can be closer to the TV. I have never gotten over this trait because I had never worked on it lol.


My boyfriend has been talking about moving the TV from our room to the other bedroom so I can sleep in there while he keeps playing a PS1 game and it won't keep me up. But guess what, I don't like it when things get moved, I like it the way I keep things, not have it moved. Even if it's temporarily. I would rather sleep on the couch in the living room.
It bothered me a lot when I lived with my parents when my brothers would have a bunch of friends over and they move furniture around in my area which was the basement. I hated it when they hung out down there because they made too much noise, they moved things and they made messes.


Does this bother anyone when anything gets moved; furniture, TV, computer, etc?

It's usually just the noise and commotion of it that bothers me.

I don't like people moving my stuff around-I don't get why my mom likes rearranging her room every few months/weeks/whatever. And she tends to mess with my room...less than before but still....f***ing annoying and a waste of time/space/etc....but "I want change"...WELL I DONT LEAVE MY ROOM ALONE...especially when Im doing something else and she springs it on me 'hey lets move it now get your ass up now'....f**k..

yes,definitely!

at the institution am used to live at/about to move into again,the staff used to move the lounge furniture a lot- they didnt like residents to get routines with where things are,am would have meltdowns and often seizures mid meltdown at the sight of it,and would change everything back as soon as was able to,still didnt stop them from doing it though am can understand why they did it.

mum and dad would never change things around at home when am there at the weekend though they move things about when am not there to do hoovering etc and then put them back,everything is still the same way in bedroom as when am moved out a few years ago,they used to move things about but stopped because of the effect it had on am,which affected others-and the house itself.

Yes I get upset if something is moved around. My husband's birthday gift is a new tv and I don't care of a tv, computer or something else needs replacement BUT when he said to me "maybe we should move it to the opposite side of the room and get an extension for the cable" And I just said "NO!! Whats wrong with the area where our tv is now? Why can't it just take it's place.. at the SAME place??" I don't like the idea of rearranging furniture or equipment. It makes me anxious.

Oh, I get upset too. A lot.

It is quite annoying when you have people come over at your place and moving chairs around. I have the impulsion of putting them back at their place as soon as they leave, which looks rude, but I can't help it.

My wife wants to rearrange the whole living room and kitchen.

She is right that it will help matters in our home so I am bracing myself.

Yeah, my armoire was tidied up yesterday. Horrible.

We had to change the seating arrangement for the kids too. I hate that, but can manage.

I love to arrange my own furniture though. Because if I move anything, I have thought about this for the past months in my mind, have drawn it on paper, written about it...

The only way I could deal with room re-arrangement was to be there all the time so I could see where things were going. Being stock controller for a shop was ideal for me as I could find things pretty well as I was the one who had to move them every so often.

I've been living in my flat for over 4 and a half years and sometimes I still think I am sleeping in the lounge area because I spent the first couple nights there while I put everything in the bedroom.

My mom did that a lot more than usual, and my dad and I (both autistic) couldn't stand it.

I can handle stuff being moved. One thing I cannot handle is clutter. If a space is cluttered my mind is cluttered. I feel hopeless and like I cannot cope with cleaning anything because there's so much stuff to move around and I get tired moving everything.

I'm living at a special college at the moment and the cleaner keeps moving my hand soap to the right side of my sink and my toothbrush holder to the middle. I usually keep the toothbrush holder on the left hand side of the sink and the hand soap in the middle. It bugs me so much and I am considering leaving a note asking her to leave things as they are! Might be slightly to do with OCD though, I am convinced that something bad will happen if my soap isnt in the centre!

Not so much at home, TM always tells me beforehand that she wants to move something. BUT at the office, I hate having my workspace touched, or to have to move it.

I live in a house with my two younger kids, my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend, my 16 year old daughter, my 21 year old son, and my husband. People are always moving my stuff and it drives me crazy. I told my husband he is going to have to commit me soon because I am slowly loosing my mind Shocked ......Just a joke btw, I have to laugh or I will go crazy.
