Which of Kondo’s tips are just *no*

I just finished watching Tidying Up. I’m not really sure if this has been discussed before, but I was just wondering which of her tips, you guys don’t think are that useful, because I’m Kondo’s biggest fan ever, she’s the perfect human being if you ask me (I’ve read the books and watched the show several times), but I only have one problem with something she said once, but I’m gonna list the stuff I don’t think is necessary:<br><br>- *What even is the thing with the paper that gets folded?* I don’t fold my Kondo fold (because she invents it in the end), but I don’t fold it to be *exactly* like your hand, I just fold it in the way it feels comfortable and like she Kondo fold. <br><br>- *Making your clothes hungry?:* I don’t fold them Kondo style (because she Kondos it Kondo style) but my Kongo style (I only fold the things that are made to be folded), but I never fold them in *any* way, that reminds me of the movie, Scary Movie 3, where the girl’s boyfriend is “horny” only when he eats spinach, and so he eats spinach so much that he literally poops out of spinach. Scary Movie 3 is one of my favorite movies of all time. <br><br>- *Treat your clothes like you would treat a close friend.* While I Kondo Kondos (it’s only like 2 times a week), I say things like, “Come on George”, “What even is this George? *Why*”, “Do you know what George, if you weren’t so good, I’d be calling you Dorothy right now”, “If you don’t stop this nonsense, I’m gonna call you *DOROTHY*”.<br><br>- *Saying thank you to your clothes because it protected you while you Kongo’d today.* I don’t do this but I’m hilarious so I do this modified version: I say thank you to my clothes because they Kongo’d me today. <br><br>- *Thanking your clothes after you throw them away Kongo style.* I only do this in a funny way, because I literally say, “While you’re in the trash, trying to get away from this shit, you should thank yourself George”, or “THANK YOU”, and it’s said like it’s the most sarcastic “THANK YOU” *EVER*. <br><br>- *Saying thank you to your clothes because they’re in the washing machine Kongoing again.* I don’t do this, but again, it’s only in the funniest way ever: “What even is this George? You Kongo’d before, you’re gonna Kongo again, you Kongo while you’re in the fridge, you Kongo, you Kongo, because you’re Kongo *McKongsalot* George!”<br><br>- *Saying thank you to your clothes because they’re in the dryer Kongoing again.* I don’t do this, but again, I do a fun version, because it’s like, “George, I’m really sorry about that”, because it’s always so hot that it feels uncomfortable.<br><br>So yeah, that’s my list. I’m not really sure if anything else I say isn’t in line with what Kongo says in his book because I haven’t read it. *I’m not really sure why I wrote this post, maybe it was just for the fun of it, because I’m so bored that I’m right about to purchase Kongo’s book, *2020: The Year of Kongo Colonialism* from Amazon*, so yeah. *I say this “Kongo” thing a lot, but it’s not a real word, I only use it in this post.*<br><br>Edit: I meant to say things that are just *me*, not that Kondo advised us to do this in the show because she didn’t. *I’m not really sure why I wrote this post, maybe it was just for the fun of it*<br><br>Edit: Kongo is not a person, it’s a word I only use in this post to signify this particular Colonialism that has just begun.
