When I was a child, I once knocked every book off every shelf in the house.
Because I had 6 books in alphabetical order on my little shelf in my room. My mother kept rearranging them in as close a rainbow distribution as possible.. I asked her to stop many times, but ultimately decided if you're going to mess up my shelf, I will mess up yours.
Surprisingly this tactic worked, and they didn't make me clean up the books by myself, they did most of it.
Their idea of "organizing" the books is "well most of the books in that series are close to each other, but a bunch of other random ones are mixed in, and entire genres have been rearranged many times so who knows what books we even actually have"
They have a similar way of organizing dvds. It's infuriating.
They barely watch dvds anymore since they're spending like 100/mo on various streaming subs.
They've had a book in hand for as long as I can remember, nowadays it's a Kindle but their disorganization has been present as long as I can remember, too.
Last year I watched their dog while they were out of town, and I reorganized their dvd collection in alphabetical order, keeping the various series together.
In less than 6 months it was essentially back to complete chaos. And in that time,according to them, they barely watched any dvds, they just looked through the shelves a bunch to figure out what they have.Why that requires them to pull movies out and out them back in a different spot, I'm not sure.
