TEAR YOUR FAMILY APART! Inconsequential household debates during COVID-19 Crisis

[taemo]

1. opening the fridge doors wide open to grab something and leave it open while preparing her meal

2. rarely use the microwave lid cover, I'm the one that ends up cleaning the microwave

3. when done preparing her meal, she just leaves the items on the counter until I clean it up or she finds them later in the day

+2 for scrub brush. Sponges are , dishclothes are better only if they're hung to dry and washed frequently. We change our dishcloth out every day or two.

Around my house, it's the kitchen sponge vs dishcloth argument. Wife says dishcloth is more hygienic because you can wash it easily. I say I've never seen her was it, and it stinks.

Sponge goes in the dishwasher every cycle, never stinks before it's worn out. Dishcloths get washed with other towels on the sanitization cycle, no stink there either. Lay flat or hang up, never balled up.

Does your spouse get more angry when you beat them

Oh dear.

I find dishwasher loading technique is similar to loading a vehicle for a road trip. Adulting version of Tetris.

We have been pretty tame so far. Her biggest complaint is I am doing laundry too soon/often. My biggest complaint is she is cooking/baking too much and making us both fat. lol

We both still have plenty of work crap to complain about and that has been our common bond for years.

To my laid off wife: “What DID you do yesterday?”

This is what my SO has said to me EVERY DAY. Like everyone else, I am waiting for EI and what not.

We are all spending too much time in our own houses with our spouses, so let's start some household debates to really get the stress ramped up.

Around my house, it's the kitchen sponge vs dishcloth argument. Wife says dishcloth is more hygienic because you can wash it easily. I say I've never seen her was it, and it stinks.

What's tearing your family apart today folks?

Dishcloth is used for washing dishes. Once it is wet it goes in the laundry. Paper towels and disinfectant spray for counter tops, etc.

And if @spikerS doesn't finish my bathroom stand soon there will be a R.I.P spikerS thread...

One thing I don't want to argue about with my wife right now but makes me throw up in my mouth a bit... trading puzzles with people on Facebook. There's literally 750 pieces of potentially contaminated pieces on my dinner table right now, not including the box.

I don't just take it out, I flip it upside down on the counter above the cutlery drawer and let them all spill out. Way quicker to sort. Also do the same with groceries in the bags.
