Why do people boast about their cleanliness?

The house next door to us seems to be on permanent lease, and the tenants seem to come and go every two years or so in quick succession. (Its a very nice house) I seem to have only just got to know them when the husband's job means they have to move on.
I usually find myself helping the outgoing tenant to clean the house ready for the new family.
So it amuses me, when the new tenants move in, that they tell me the house was filthy, and they had to scrub it clean from top to bottom in order to make it anything like liveable in.
I have never yet plucked up the courage to tell them I helped to get the place ready for them, and that it was as clean as a new pin the day before yesterday.
Why do young people need to impress others in this way.
(ps. this is a lighthearted post, not meant to be taken seriously)

I find it so amusing that so many women are so obsessed with braging about how clean their home is ! & also how wonderful their food is ! They usually will put down others as not as good as they are ! Seriously ? I find them to be pathetic ! It is so sad that they have this need to toot their own horn & critisize & judge others. Ladies, everything in life does not need to be a competition. Take a breath. You're ok. You don't have to convince us by pointing out your super cleanliness !

How patronising! I always have a healthy suspicion of those who mount onto some moral high ground be 'amused' by the behaviour of those they clearly consider their inferiors.
