Does DH/SO Do Something In the Kitchen

that drives you crazy?  Although he helps me round the house, he insists on setting his empty glass/cup etc. on the counter right above the dishwasher. Turn 90 degrees to the right, open the door & put the flipping thing in the machine.

 

Also, he gets out a new stick of butter and puts in the butter dish with the wrapper still on. I have 2 butter dishes so there is always a clean one. Unwrap the da*n butter and put it in the clean dish & put the used one in the dishwasher.

 

There, I feel better.lol

OH, ya. My dh also leaves ontop of dishwasher or on the "clean" side of my sink where I drain hand washed items.  I guess there could be worse things to complain about though!

Same here. Don’t have the butter dish problem but he does the same thing with empty glass or cup. Also he will rinse a recycle container but leave it on the counter and if he would turn around the recycle bin is in the under counter right behind him. Go figure been married 42 years don’t think anything is going to change. Lol

Yes, there are a lot worse things he could be doing, but it's not just that he does it, but he knows it sets my hair on fire.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 -

Yes! and I will never get this!

I think really it is just being lazy because maybe they expect someone else to do the follow-up.

And a lot of this doesn't matter to some-

like it didn't to cave men!😵

@CrazyKittyLvr2   My husband is a great cook, but I cringe after he's been cooking in the kitchen.  He pretty much uses every pan we have.

OP, your post made me laugh. My late husband enjoyed making sandwiches... he'd use meats, cheeses, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, onions, ketchup, chips, etc on different breads to make 1 sandwich & then put 1 thing away before seating down to eat promising to put everything back when finished BUT he always wandered off leaving it open on the counter. I'd call him on it & he'd say, yeah but I put away whatever the 1 thing was...drove me nuts.

My DH is excellent in the kitchen, I taught him to cook, and in many areas he’s far surpassed me.  He makes great bread 🥖 desserts are his specialty, and he cleans up after himself.  OH, also great coffee.

 

I am blessed.
