Because it doesn't snow here.

Also, truthfully, it's because most houses don't have a shed, workshop, or other space for things like kids bikes, work benches, workout equipment etc. So the garage becomes that place.

When I bought my current house a three car garage was a priority. I have a tandem style 3 car garage and the 3rd bay is my workshop. L shaped full length work bench, lots of storage, vertical room for shelving and a spot to hang 6 bikes out of the way. And a beer fridge.

And we park both vehicles in the garage.

I can’t use my garage since my bass boat is in there along with 3M tupperware bins

we don't have basements down here like many do in both WI and IL. That makes a huge difference when it comes to storage space.

I will say this...I now understand why my mom used to bitch at me about wiping the toothpaste off my mouth with a bath towel. That shite doesn't always wash off in the washer

Nope. It’s exactly the opposite in our house.

And, my dear hubs doesn’t load the dishwasher properly either. He jam packs his bowls together with cereal bits still on them, so when I unload the top rack, I have to re-wash them by hand.

Of course he refuses to admit those bowls were his because he does no wrong. /rant

What kind of crazy human being thinks that a single fold will keep chips fresh? You have to fold at least twice and end with the little triangle... Amirite?

I absolutely despise when dishes are not rinsed off when put in the sink. And for the love of God please rinse the sink out after rinsing said dishes. It's so gross to see these pieces of wet food just hanging out at the bottom of the sink.

Rant over.

I've visited people before and I always help clean the kitchen when they've fed me.. and boy have I been shocked at the state some people put dishes into the dishwasher. I don't know they can live with it smelling so bad when they open it because everything is caked with food.

I watched this video recently, which all of his videos are amazing, but I learned that even though I find it disgusting to not rinse your dishes before putting them in there.. most modern dishwashers actually do better when there's grime for them to grab.

Yes I've seen that before about it being better to not rinse them. I just cannot physically bring myself to put them in dirty lol.

Oh and this also extends to the sinks in the bathrooms. Rinse it out. Please.

Wife "unloads" the dishwasher leaving half the dishes on the counter

Other than my mother I've never seen a woman efficiently load a dishwasher. Do women just not develop habits or routines? It's complete randomness every single time with no pattern/strategy whatsoever.

Wife, no pics:

Leaving the cabinet doors open but only by 3/4 of an inch.

Leaves cabinet drawers open the same way.

Never, ever has changed a garbage bag.

Never,ever goes to the grocery store.

Multiple pairs of shoes in almost every room.

I married a mid-west gal - when her family comes to south Louisiana to visit us hey always comment how strange it is to them that our homes are built on concrete slabs - just a foreign concept to them.

Leaving exterior doors open drives me up the wall. "I'm just going outside for a few seconds; I'll be right back!" However, my wife gets (1)easily distracted, or (2)finds some other task to do while she's out, so the damn door stays open sometimes for 5 - 10 minutes until I come behind her and close it.

Though I don't speak to my wife in this way, in my head, I'm yelling, "Bitch; when I give you the electricity bill to pay next month, maybe you'll finally understand why it is important to close the fricking door!" Not to mention the various gat-damn insects that use that opportunity to come inside.

Yeah, my wife walks in the room halfway in to a sentence without any consideration as to what I'm doing/watching.

I'm watching TV, doesn't matter, she's rolling in, already dep in to whatever she want to tell me. I've got no clue what she's talking about, and pretty irritated that she's interrupting my show.


Same here. She used to get mad when I wouldn't listen to what she was saying when I had the TV on. So now when she starts talking I just hit the pause button on whatever I am watching and somehow that pisses her off just as much. Can't win.

Letting the trash pile up is an obvious one. She works from home and I don't. Just about every day there's empty boxes on the side of the can and the can is piling over. sometimes she will hang another bag on one of the kitchen drawers to put trash in instead of taking out what is in the can.

The other thing that annoys the shite out of me is clutter. I should have known early on what I was getting into when I went to her parent's house the first time. There was just junk stacked up in every corner of the house (junk mail, Boxes with random shite in them) And it is hereditary. She keeps so much dumb shite on the counters in the kitchen there isn't much useable space. (12 packs of drinks, K-cups for the coffee maker (which she never refills with water), Air Fryer, Instapot, random pots and pans that never get picked up, junk mail, etc. The shite gives me anxiety.
