Chaotic Single Man With Disorganized Kitchen Shows the Internet the Kind of Mayhem We Live For

Anarchy comes in many forms. For some, rebellion can be shown with rejection of societal norms, anti-normal clothing choices, music taste, and the desire to be alternative, but for one man, he choses anarchy in the form of a disorganized utensil drawer.

Nicken, aka @nickenthetalkinchicken, made a stitch video on TikTok recently to show the Internet that he will not yield to the norms of the world. His chosen form of rebellion is to simply reject an organized, orderly home and take on a utilitarian and ease-focused mindset when it comes to household chores.

As a response to a home-improvement and organizational channel, Nicken shows the juxtaposition of his own home as a bit of a middle-finger to society.

In the first video, a man shows that the utensils in the kitchen drawer are most orderly and the most satisfyingly straight when they are stored sideways and nested within the ridges of its neighboring fork, knife, or spoon.

Nicken opposes this instantaneously, showing his own lopsided, dangling kitchen drawer, which we know before it’s even opened is going to be a disaster. As he reaches towards the caddywompus drawer, viewers are tense with the nerves of what horrors might lie within, as we’ve all seen the dreaded kitchen drawers of every broke college student.

As the drawer opens, our worst nightmares are realized.

The drawer is brimming with a mismatch of random pieces of silverware, toppling over each other like Hell’s version of pick up sticks. Every utensil is tangled with the piece next to it, making it impossible to discern where one spoon ends and another fork begins.

Is this chaos or freedom? 

However, Nicken shows that as he dumps the silverware contents from his dishwasher basket into the drawer, that there’s no need to actually sort utensils. Since this is a dreaded chore from most children’s youth, it’s a slightly satisfying feeling to know that with this rebellion, our lives could be simplified, saving us at least 2 or 3 minutes of sorting anguish when emptying the dishwasher.

His followers complained that it would be impossible to discern the difference between a fork and a spoon, but as Nicken points out, it really is not an issue.

People worried they're going to accidentally fork their soup

After watching, and enjoying, the chaos of this video, it’s hard not to dream of adopting this kind of rebellion and anarchy into our own lives. It certainly is much easier to unload the dishwasher and poses no apparent problem with utensil choice, but as the tiny voice inside all of us that is secretly obsessively organized, it’s simply unthinkable to have such a messy drawer.

To each their own I suppose.
