Guest Andrea Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I live in a house surrounded by nothing but testosterone. (2 adolescents and one semi-adult.) My complaint this week: Empty containers. 1. Chips Ahoy cookie pkg. completely empty but folded neatly and put back in cabinet. 2. Empty Mtn Dew bottle still on the counter. 3. Empty milk jug still in fridge.

stevebeilgard Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 god put women on earth to clean up after men. so, stop your griping as it takes away valuable time from your duties. wow. that was fun! fact is, it's a people thing, andrea. you have to insist that garbage goes in the proper bin. stupid things like an empty milk jug back in the fridge is a communication problem with the kids. may be time to yell a bit. if yelling doesn't work, just run out of milk some week, and tell them to use the empty decoy jug in the fridge. or the cookie package in the pantry, or the ....

Hoosierbuck Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's a testosterone optical impairment. We can't even see those things. The one my wife loves is that I will put containers away not empty, but without enough of its contents to be useful for any purpose. "But I didn't finish it. There is still some left." At least my wife has my daughter to cling to, even though she's only 6. With me, Ben and Isaac, it's going to be a little crazy at our place too, when they get that age. (Currently 4 and 6 months.)

Master_Chief Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 OK since my son has left these issues have been cut in half. Still trying to figure out if it is a kid thing or a guy thing. I have been conducting this study for 5 years. 5 more to go and I will get you an answer. I am however looking for Government money to fund this study.

Probably my biggest pet peeve too...so it's an "issue" with us.

Small amounts in a container go back in the fridge! Drives me nuts! Clothes in washing machine, this has been going on for 40 years! HELP!! I have tried everything! Old papers, cartoons and whatever stacked up to be "recycled"! The only way they are "recycled" is when I THROW THEM OUT!:mad: WOMEN!!!!!:mad::rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm sitting here looking over at the coach, where my wife sits in the evening to watch the tube. Her supper plate, fork, desert plate and fork, coffee-cup, water glass, and snot rag:rolleyes: are still sitting there. Since I'm the cook and bottle washer, I get to do the honors. What really bothers me though, is when she actually picks up her plate, takes it into the kitchen and piles it on the counter, with the garbage, like left-over food, and snot-rags still in it, when the garbage is not 2 feet away :rolleyes: If she makes a peanut butter and jam sandwich for herself....you guessed it, ...she leaves the butter, peanut butter, jam, bread, and dirty knife, on the counter. If I say something, all I get is :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man...Steve, does your wife have a distant relative named Sarah living in Ohio? Sarah makes herself a PB&J every single morning to eat for lunch...and since she does, every single evening I'm cleaning crusty peanut butter and jelly off of two knives...and the counter top.:rolleyes: That's another thing, why the two knives? I tell her, "use it for the peanut butter, rinse it off, then use it for the jelly, rinse it again and put it in the dishwasher." That goes in one ear and out the other- I'm starting to think she does it to spite me. Oh well, it's building my patience for when I have kids I guess.

Eric, buddy, got to warn you it only gets more fun with kids, especially when they get old enough that they begin to take on the same habits as your significant other because the examples that are set:eek:.

Hubby will have to go buy some. Then take the empty ones out of the fridge, off the counter and out of the cabinet.

ruttinbuc Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Around my humble abode if it gets picked up, it gets picked up! If not, who cares? When the sight of it ticks me off I get after it cussing and swearing the whole time at the pig who made the mess. The people who really catch my wrath are those junk mailers who darken my mail box with their garbage and then allow me to litter my place with it. Why don't they tell to throw this junk out right away?.... No one has been answering my affectionate maid wanted ad's! I think it may be the "must pick up my dirty socks wherever you might find them" part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
