I had a similar situation last night. We pulled all the Xmas storage containers down. Of course, two of the lids had been decorated by one of my feline animals when locked in the garage. I took the lids and popped the stuff off but there was still some residue. So... when we pulled all those containers into the house I figured I better clean them off so we wouldn't be looking at it. First thought... kitchen sink! No... she won't approve of that. So I took them to the bathroom and used the tub. She, of course, asks "What are you doing?" So I explained and she yells at me. I respond "Do you want to look at it?" "No!" "Then where in he!! to you want me to clean them off?" She realized that I did ok, but I had to sterilize the whole tub. UGH... and we don't use the tub for anything. Not sure when the last time it was used by a human.
Kinda reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy quote "You might be a redneck.."
If your wife has ever said, "Can you get this transmission out of the bathtub so I can take a shower.."

Me and SWMBO have been married so long I have accepted the fact I am guilty until I can prove myself innocent and no matter what I say it is wrong.;)

To keep things tidy one of my weekly yard chores (three times a week) is "poop patrol". And for a year or two I was happy to tend to this with and old D-handled flat blade shovel and a small rake. But the missus thought she'd be nice and picked me up a real store-bought poop scooper. Made of HDPE and complete with a little rake and detachable handle, it works great. It's got a little "dust pan" on trunions and keeps me from bending over too much. I like it, but it has gotten a bit soiled over the summer and was in need of a good scrubbing.
So rather than dirty my little mitts with such a deadly chore, I needed something that would clean it up real nice and I wouldn't have to touch it...something automatic. I needed hot water too and the car wash seemed like overkill...I finally realized I had the perfect appliance in the kitchen for such a chore, the automatic dishwasher. I've put some really grimy and disgusting things in there before and they always come out really, really spotless.
My only mistake was not getting it out of the dishwasher before my wife found it.
Why women are so possessive of their appliances is beyond me. I mean, I paid for the damned thing anyway....;)
i know this post has been going on for days but it hasn't gotten to the heart of the matter.
You're trying to end your marriage,
Paden?
You and the four dogs living in the house after she walks out.
Or you out on the street?
O, probably not. If mr cash, (pronounced ca-Assh) has made it this far, with this woman, then chances are that this gaff is NOT the worse one of his career.
I venture so far as to say that this is just one of the more sharable ones.... Just imagine what he's not sharing!
If dawgs could talk...
Which brings another fact to mind... That was food that was being cleaned off the utinsils... It was in fact post processed dog food. Theres really only a few hrs difference between pre processed, and post processed... I mean if you wish to go the "intellectual" route.. It could also be said that this whole affair is in poor taste... But if you go down to Waxahatchie Texas, they have turd bugs down there. Which makes me think... Maybe some imported Texas Turd bugs would probably solve the whole fiasco, in "short order" (no pun intended).
Merry Christmas!

He could toss something that is recyclable into the honest-to-God trash container instead of the designated container. That might get him tossed out of the house for sure.

If it doesn't, he's in for a relentless 45 minute verbal thrashing, and the necessary groveling thereafter. :eyes:

Even though swmbo is a ardent recycler that has been infectious with everyone here, it wouldn't be a major issue here. But Paden's dishwasher episode would be a paramount issue with severe consequences.
A "can't fix stupid" problem besides other irreconcilable differences that would erupt.
Today is trash day here.
I'm surprised of how little land fill trash is produced here.
The recycling bin is usually filled with a of paper, glass and plastic for the hebdominal offering. I think having a teen is a important variable here. Major drink carton consumer of bottled water, milk, juice, soda and Gatorade.
But to my surprise, the garbage trash usually doesn't make a filled kitchen garbage bag for the household. Have stopped rolling the bin out by adding our bag to the neighbors bin.
Edit: here is my method of scooping canine poo. I learned it from a single mom who had a bunch of kids and dogs.
Take a few plastic bags you get from the stores. The smaller ones work. Place one on one your dominant hand as a glove. Pick up poo and place bag in other hand holding an open bag. Place another bag on hand and repeat.
Of course swmbo doesn't bring home those plastic grocery sacks because she tacks her own grocery sacks to shop.
But there are usually a bunch of them
Being recycled here.
my method: scoop and deposit in the toilet that I installed in the patio, several times a day.
scooper, and broom, go in a bucket that we keep next to the toilet, with bleach water.
my dogs are contained in our patio area only, easy to scoop up... and we hose it down. the patio drains into a garden area out back.
my future project is to build a ramp for the dogs, and then teach them to use the toilet.
Planning to demonstrate for them a few times, I assume.

Perfect place for tomato plants! 😉

nope, not for food. Only ornamental plants.
We used Fresh water for food plants. It is a cultural thing 😉
Best fertilizer for rhubarb plants is diluted cow manure. BTW, I love rhubarb.

my place is mostly succulents

Years ago I worked with a rodman who came in one day and said he had dreaded gong home the previous day because he had to replace a transmission in one of his cars. However, he was surprised to find out his wife had already done the work!
I met his wife and do believe she did just that. They actually were rednecks.
The wife probably had a boyfriend the husband didn't know about who was willing to trade a little transmission repair for something he valued much more highly at the time.
Christmas is coming.
