Finally found all my micro USB cables, and a watch I've got looking for about a month or so.
My girlfriend will collect things up in a grocery bag and dump it in the front room, or even on my desk, when she wants to clean and feel productive.
Unfortunately that just moves a bunch of unrelated things into a bag together that becomes harder to go through and I lose things because nothing is in a place that makes sense anymore
Ugh Mr P does the grocery bag thing too, just takes everything he feels is superfluous to the room, bag it up or toss it into random containers and dump it in a cupboard or under a bed. I hate it as it then becomes a separate more involved job to go through all the containers and bags and put stuff away like it should have been.
That was the situation with my watch. There are two places I usually put my watches and it was in neither of them so I couldn't find it. Then I'm looking for a USB cable that will actually transfer data and there it is in a bag with all this other stuff
Reading this is making me twitchy.
I am big into storing things in a systematic way so everything is easy to find and nothing is lost, my husband likes everything to be out or maybe he is just lazy
Rule in our house is if it's not yours don't fucking touch it. Make the other person clean that shit.
Dishes? fine. Old beer/coke cans? Fine. Work bag? In his office. Paperwork / watch / gym stuff? "go put your shit away dude"
I'm pretty tolerant until half the plates and cutlery are still in there and the mess/dirt starts tracking into the rest of the house
My girlfriend wants to be like this but it doesn't fully happen. She also goes and cleans up all my stuff when the back part of the house is a complete mess and that's all her mother's stuff that could mostly be gotten rid of
I had 2 cable bags and a small container in my cupboard all full of random cables I've collected over time, and when ol mate was rifling through my cupboard he tipped them all over the place, and I don't know where anything is. And it's even more annoying because I don't actually know everything I had in them, so it's difficult to replace. Until I need it of course, and realise "hey that connector looks familiar, I'm sure I have one somewhere!"
