50 Times People Realized They Were Living With A ‘Monster’ And Just Had To Share The Evidence
You wake up and head to the bathroom. The door is locked, and your sister has just begun taking her 30-minute shower where she'll sing loudly for the whole house to hear and use up the last of the hot water. You go to eat some breakfast first instead. You pour a bowl full of cereal and open the fridge to grab some milk. Upon picking up the carton, however, you realize that there’s no more than a drop left in it. No problem, you had leftover pancakes too– Oh! Just kidding! Your sister ate those too and left a note in their absence detailing how delicious they were and requesting that you pick up milk on your way home from work.
Living with family members can be a challenge, to say the least. You’re supposed to love them unconditionally, but sometimes, they really test the limits of that love. But if you know what it’s like to have a sibling, parent or spouse with infuriating living habits, know that you’re not alone. Because below, you’ll find evidence of some of the most frustrating and questionable situations people have found themselves in, courtesy of their "kind and thoughtful" roommates.
Keep reading to find an interview with licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Jude Bijou, and be sure to upvote the pictures that remind you why you decided to move away from home.

My Mom Made Me Threw Away This Good-Looking Cake Because It Was Given To Us By A Muslim Neighbour For Eid
It's assorted crushed nuts in a caramelised sugar and coconut, and it's delicious with a hot cuppa! I'm Muslim and i always buy extra for my friends and neighbours, Eid or no Eid,They all love it. :)
Anyone know what this is called I would like to try it, also I would be really grateful to have neighbours who wanted to share something with me that means so much to them, to clarify not the cake but Eid
Your mum needs therapy. Is she afraid you will become Muslimised? Or infected with Muslimity? Does she know that a lot of the food she eats originates in foreign countries?
What an idiot ! Eid is one of my favorite holidays because all our Muslim neighbours would give us delicious cakes when I was a child.
Anyone can be difficult to live with, whether they are related to you or not. But for some reason, having an infuriating family member or spouse just seems so much worse than a random roommate who doesn’t respect boundaries or your shared space. Our family members are supposed to be on the same team as us. They should know our pet peeves and work to avoid them. They should want us to be happy and comfortable in our own homes. But unfortunately, they know exactly how to push our buttons, and sometimes, it seems like they are trying to drive us crazy.
I have to admit that I’m a bit of a neat freak myself, pandas, so many of the photos on this list would be cause for divorce, abandonment or moving out ASAP, depending on the nature of my relationship with these people. But I’m feeling extremely grateful for my partner after viewing these horrifying photos, because even though we get on each others’ nerves at times, at least we’re both clean. We know how to put groceries or dishes away without throwing them in a pile. Small things like a sponge being left in a dirty sink, a bag of snacks being left wide open, and dirt being tracked into the apartment can drive me up the wall, but I realize now, those are nothing compared to what other people deal with. So if you too have great roommates, pandas, count your blessings. It appears that there are plenty of monsters wreaking havoc out there…
My Husband Left This In The Bathroom For Me To Find. It's The Top Of A Tomato

Load More Replies...Just wondering - how many times have your dogs woken your mother up. Was this the first time, or was it the 30th time?
I'm wondering that too. Maybe the whole story isn't told here. Maybe she works night shift in a high stress environment and this person makes no effort to be quiet. Maybe she's going through menopause which is horrific for many women and her child doesn't understand/care.
Load More Replies...To gain more insight on this topic, we reached out to licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Jude Bijou, who was kind enough to have a conversation with Bored Panda about the difficulties of living with family members. “I’ve learned that the problem with living with family members is that people don’t know how to communicate constructively with each other,” Jude told Bored Panda.
“This, of course, is because they weren’t taught by their parents, and so they continue the tradition and lump, dump, and blame each other rather than speaking up and listening effectively.”
“This ignoring of how one’s words and behavior affect other family members or spouses causes those most near and dear to them to feel huge amounts of sadness, anger and fear,” she explained. “The recipients in turn resort to the same destructive strategies and the patterns get ground in as an appropriate and acceptable way to communicate.”

So My Brother Decided To Take His Anger Out On Something Of Mine
Isn't that the gee, I don't know, F*****G $800 DOLLAR LEGO SET THAT PROBABLY TOOK HOURS TO MAKE? SIBLING IS DEAD
EX-TER-MI-NATE!!! (yes, I know I'm mixing fandoms but figured it was OK in this case).
My newly adopted cat did this exact thing to the original Millennium Falcon set that I had tracked down for my now Ex, as part of their Christmas present. We'd built it together, just moved into the new house, it had pride of place under the TV. Cybil decided that she didn't want it there. It hit the wooden floor from at least a metre off the ground. Apparently, ending up on the floor myself from being in tears of laughter, and struggling to breathe, and taking photos is not the appropriate response. I still have the cat, the photos, the house, several pieces of the Millennium Falcon, and the instruction booklet.
The cat is innocently dealing with a big strange thing in their home, not a petulant child with anger management issues. I understand your ex's disappointment though, I'd be upset too, but I'd get over it and rebuild.

It’s no wonder there is so much dysfunction in families,” Jude added. “The solution is for everyone from small children to adults, neighbors to strangers, as well as politicians to teachers to learn and practice the four rules of communication, as outlined and practiced according to Attitude Reconstruction.”
According to Jude’s book, Attitude Reconstruction, the four rules of communication are: talk about yourself, stay specific, stay kind, and be sure to listen. “The four rules bring loving, effective communication and feelings of connection,” Jude says. “These rules are very simple (but not easy), and the rewards of abiding by them are great. In contrast, the violations apply in virtually every setting and cause communication breakdowns and distance.”

My Kid Wanted To “Open” The Banana By Herself This Morning. Am I Raising A Serial Killer?
Especially that it's a banana for scale and it shouldn't be eaten.
Load More Replies...Naaa.. if she had been a serial killer, she would slice and dice the banana first and eat it later without leaving a trace, including peels. And she would probably keep the neck or tip of the banana as a trophy in a cute little cookie box.

Load More Replies...How My Husband Wrote The Date When He Opened This Orange Juice
I asked my husband to break down a Costco tray of chicken breast into meal size portions. I reminded him to date each bag. Every bag was dated 2022. That’s it.
I would be very afraid of letting my husband anywhere near chicken. He’s not big on being careful with food safety and hand-washing.
Load More Replies...I think he did it on purpose because he's fed up with being forced to do things like this.
He's an adult. He lives there. Screw him if he can't take the simplest chores.
Load More Replies...If you know the struggle of living with family members all too well, you might need some tips on how to manage the stress of sharing food, a bathroom or space in general with your loved ones. Just because you share the same blood doesn’t mean it’s natural for you all to occupy the same space without getting into arguments and getting on each others’ last nerves. That’s why we consulted this list from U.S. News with tips for living with relatives, so you can keep your sanity without sacrificing your relationships.
First, they recommend setting up basic ground rules. Just because your parents own the house or changed your diapers when you were young doesn’t mean you aren’t entitled to privacy. And you should all be on the same page about shared responsibilities. “Establish the need for private space. In addition, openly discuss who takes care of chores, cooking, and shopping,” Money Crashers writes. “Don't leave this to the homeowners, even if they insist on doing things for you. Everyone should equally share the tasks for running the household.”
My Parents Went Through My Phone, Deleted Over 1500 Different Images And Videos, And Emptied The Trash Bin. I'm 15 And They Haven't Found Anything Bad On My Phone Ever
At 15 there should be a level of trust, if the OP was 10/11 then maybe so but 15 is an age where parents need to respect that their child has boundaries and should treat them as if they trust their judgement, I think this is toxic behaviour. The parents should have given the kid the benefit of the doubt, you are supposed to raise and nurture your child so they become a well rounded person who have their own boundaries and opinions and should expect the same in their relationships with others. This will harbour feelings of resentment and issues with trust for all future friends, family members and people in authority.
You couldn’t be more right. You have to respect that your child is entitled to privacy and so are their friends. I wouldn’t touch my child’s phone unless they handed it to me to show me something. And I wouldn’t consider looking at anything other than what they were showing me. I want my child to trust me.
Load More Replies...Dear god please tell me they had them backed up. That's an awful thing to do to anyone.
I moved out at 16, didn't have mobile phones then but every private area of my life was examined, I had zero privacy.
Same. When I discovered my parents had cut the lock on my diary when I was almost 17, that was it. Even though I have never been good at keeping a diary, and basically had innocuous stuff written in it (“Went to school, then had [whatever] club meeting after school”, that kind of boring c**p), when they invaded my privacy that badly, I started laying plans to move out the second I turned 18. I’m 62 now. Back in 1979 when I left and went no contact, as my older brothers had done before me, people used to try to get me to reconcile with my parents, and I hated having to explain why that wasn’t going to happen. So I started just saying my parents were both dead. They were dead to me anyway (and actually are both dead now—-and not mourned by any of their five children, btw). Much easier, and cut the invasive questions and attempts to guilt trip me into contacting my parents out completely. What a relief!

The last time my sister did that to a child under her roof, it escalated badly, and landed her in front of a family court judge; it ruined her job with the local county. If you don't already have a private journal, start one and keep it at school locked up.
I’m A Recovering Alcoholic Who Just Moved Into A New Apartment. This Is What My Dad Left Me
If it was an accident then that’s selfish to not remember that about your kid. If it was intentional, then that was a major d**k move
Its si agressive ! Stay away from him , you are brave and he is just a moron. U can be proud of you ❣️
As a reformed alcoholic and addict, you have my sympathy. I highly recommend cutting contact with him. He clearly doesn’t respect you or the internal struggle you battle everyday. People like that will push you off the wagon. I say that from personal experience.
When living in the same household as your family members, it’s also important to discuss compensation. No, you should not charge your children rent when they’re 8 years old. But if you’re an adult who moved back in with your parents or a sibling, rent might be on the table. Or, if you’re staying with a relative who won’t accept rent, try to work out some other way to help them. Buying groceries and doing extra chores around the house will keep you from feeling like a burden, and your family will be more likely to let you stay for an extended period of time if you make their lives easier. Never assume that a family member will let you stay for free just because you’re family, and be careful not to overstay your welcome or take advantage of a relative’s kindness.
Offered My Ice Cream To My Son And He Gave Me This Back... He’s Clearly Not Yet Constrained By Standard Ice-Cream Etiquette

When My Husband Gets Mad At Me, He Puts Things Where I Can't Reach Them (I'm 5'3"). Then, He Hides My Step Ladder
Same, but I know if it happened to me, I’d be PISSED
Load More Replies...This is a semi red flag to me. Right now annoying, but how will he punisch you in the future? Escalate to destroy it or kick your pets? Unless this is a gag you agree on I would be cautious.
I agree it feels controlling unless it's an agreed gag
Load More Replies...I'm 5 foot eff all. My husband and two sons are 6'3. They do this to me. They're slowly figuring out not to mess with the person who prepares their foid
He's mean. You can't change that, I guess. Though you CAN organize that storage room...
As someone who isn't even 5 foot, I have a solution when this happens. Climb up onto any desks or people in the way. Have no mercy when it comes to getting your stuff.
I'm also 5'3 and I'd monkey right up that counter or shelf. I actually have to stand on shelves all the time at the grocery store. I dated a guy who was 6'6 once and when he saw me using a spatula to knock down something on a high shelf, he laughed and said "It's amazing how your people have adapted" :-D
When it comes to living with anyone, a roommate or a relative, it’s important to remember to choose your battles. Unless you live alone, compromises will have to be made at some point. Letting them hang up that poster that you find extremely ugly, dealing with the scent of fish when they prepare their favorite meal, sacrificing your parking spot so you can have the bedroom you prefer, or agreeing to organize the dishes how they like because you got to choose where the glasses go. When you feel yourself becoming infuriated by minor details, ask yourself if it’s really worth it to pick a fight over it. And if you decide that something is worth addressing, be sure to keep your composure. They might have no idea that one of their habits has been bothering you, so don’t approach the topic like they have personally offended you. More likely than not, they just did not realize it was a problem.
I Tore My Rotator Cuff So My Husband Told Me He’d Finish The Interior Painting On Our Downstairs. He Says He’s Done

No it’s worse because now there will be lines/ridges in the paint when I assume she finishes it.

that's one good way to end up with the drawer jammed and damn near impossible to open
I use to do this. My whole family does it. We never even bought a divider but I stopped when my husband told him it gave him a "surprising"(his word, not mine) amount of anxiety. He had no idea why it did but getting a divider wasn't hard.
I understand his anxiety. I could never look at that and not desperately want to sort it. The lack of a divider means there is no way to sort it, so the desire can't be resolved and hangs over you.

Set up your own for $50 a month. Put the box in your closet. Don't bother telling them, you legally don't have to. You're an adult, feel free to remind them of that. Also, make sure you only pay the rent to them by check or money order and that it reads "RENT" in the byline. Hope things get better for you.
If it’s your spouse or partner who has been triggering many of your pet peeves at home, it’s important to nip the issues in the bud before they start eating away at your relationship. So if you’re curious about the best way to address issues such as these, we consulted this list from PsychCentral where psychotherapist and author Christina Steinorth, MFT, shared some of her top tips for addressing pet peeves in a relationship. First, she recommends not bringing up the pet peeve in public. It’s never a great idea to approach sensitive topics when around others, and somehow, a conversation about washing the dishes can quickly derail into a discussion about the relationship as a whole.
Two-Year-Old Insisted That The Puzzle Is Built Like This
My Husband Throws Away Trash Directly Into The Pantry
That's when the fight would be on! That's way past disrespectful and rude; it's a deal breaker! Unless there are some medical reasons (dementia, Alzheimers, etc), I can't see any reason to tolerate that.
I’ve asked myself that for every single one of these. On a completely different note, I love your username lol

My Poor Girlfriend Woke Up To Her Laptop With A Hot Iron On Top Of It Courtesy Of Her Brother
Larger, and better grade. No he can't use it ever. Not until he grows up
Load More Replies...I have this laptop and love it, next thing getting burned with the iron would be the brother
Mean isn’t a strong enough word. Maybe: a demon spawn that crawled its way from the deepest pits of hell, idk. But either way, brother is replacing computer
Load More Replies...Honestly, I've had Acer products I've wanted to burn before. 😏 Jk. That's not cool.
I'd be pissed. Mind you our ironing board cover was old so my partner had a great idea to iron on the bed. Burnt a he in a week old memory foam gel topper. Then tried hiding the fact he burnt a hole by covering it with a towel. Mind you I stripped the bed so when I moved the towel I was in for a shock and not only that I smelt something burning he said it was toast. Lol. I know what burnt toast smells like and fabric and foam don't smell anything like it. I'm just thankful he didn't burn the bloody house down 🤣🤣. I was pissed, I can laugh about it now. He really thought he could hide it.
Steinorth also notes that it’s helpful to acknowledge what behavior you do appreciate when having conversations with your partner about what you’d like them to change. “If you compliment your partner generously and genuinely, you send a powerful message that has more impact to change his or her behavior than criticizing,” she told PsychCentral. We all like to be acknowledged for our best habits, and taking time to remember what your partner does well might make you less upset about what annoys you. For example, when you realize that you haven’t taken out the trash in a month because your spouse always does it for you, it might not bother you so much that they always leave their socks on the floor for you to place in the laundry basket.
My Soon To Be Ex-Husband Has Been Taking Advantage Of Local Food Banks. He Ends Up Tossing Much Of It Out Because It Goes Bad, But He And I Can Easily Afford To Buy Food
Sad? I think this is infuriating! First he steals from those in need and then he tosses good food away!
Load More Replies...😠 Such a waste when there are so many folks who are struggling to put food on the table. I'll never understand folks who take something just because it's free, even though it's not something they need or will ever use.
Did he grow up poor or homeless, or during a famine or war somewhere. This kind of hoarding often originates with food insecurity when young. If that’s the case, he deserves your sympathy and perhaps you can both devise a plan on what to do with the extra food. Donate it to a needy neighbour perhaps.
I thought this too. I think there is more going on here.
Load More Replies...I would speed up the EX part. He is a disgusting individual for depriving needy, deserving people of food.
I'd circulate his photo to all the local food banks and ask them not to give him anything else.
My Father Set A Password To The Thermostat
With the price of oil these days I can't blame him. It sucks but I get it.
I don't find this as a monster. Especially if the people wanting to turn the thermostat way way up and down are not the ones paying the exorbitant electricity bill. Or if one person in a big house isn't happy with the temperature. I go to my moms in the winter and end up going outside and sitting because its so hot. I don't go change her thermostat. (She does not show the same courtesy to me, though, so I would definitely do this.)
I don't get "monster" out of this one. This probably came after being told to leave it alone. Depends on situation of course. But I had grandkids who would turn heat to max because cold, then go out to play in front yard leaving door wide open. And sometimes reverse with AC in the summer time. Locking thermostat is legal. Locking grandkids in cages probably isn't.
It makes sense if you've kids that turn the heating right up because they've got the window open but Not if you've not written the code down somewhere!!
I Told My Son To Make Sure He Uses A Clip To Close The Chips Bag When He Is Done
Honestly I hope it’s malicious compliance because if he’s that clueless I’ll be concerned, unless he’s very young, but even then it’s iffy for me
Load More Replies...I one hundred percent guarantee that that kid is somewhere between 13 and 17. Source: my son, who, until recently, left a trail of clothes, bags, shoes, plates, unidentified growing organisms, and cutlery throughout the house. I recently started living with my partner part-time and he only now realizes that gnomes don't magically pick up all of his stuff.
My dad did this once, thinking it was funny. But he comes from a very hot, dry climate and I live in a very humid place so the chips went yucky fast. I made him eat the rest of the bag.
Your son is not a genius. But that’s okay. Neither are most of us and we have our own foibles.
Steinorth also recommends considering what would be a possible solution before approaching the topic with your partner, so they don’t feel attacked. “Instead of doing that, could we try to do this? That way, we both get what we want. How does that sound?” If they take up too much time in the bathroom when you need to get ready for work, maybe you can ask them to wake up 10 minutes earlier or allow you to shower first in the morning. If they never clean up the kitchen after cooking, maybe you can agree that they’ll give you a massage every time you have to do all of the dishes for them. Figure out what works best for the two of you, and find a way not to get hung up on little living habit pet peeves.

My Dad Says I Don't Deserve Or Need A Doorknob
If it’s an adult then this isn’t cool. If it’s a good kid, this isn’t cool. If a kid is in their room getting high or genuinely doing something wrong on a habitual basis, then this is justified.
I would argue this is NEVER justified. If it’s so bad that you’re taking away the basic rights of a human being you’re raising, then YOU’RE the problem. I think you inevitably missed some pretty integral parenting steps along the way to taking away a DOOR.
Load More Replies...You don’t deserve a doorknob? Everyone deserves privacy for f**k’s sake! The little d**k!
Yes but I try not to judge situations like this. Your never know, the parents could be drunks who never clean and the child was never taught that it was necessary to clean doors.
Load More Replies...Judging by the state of the door and the wall, there is a lot more going on here than we know ...
This could be super creepy. Especially if the child is a she.
more in dad's interest to clean the place and maybe buy a bucket of paint. I can never understand how grown adults can look at such filth and not do something
It usually happens gradually. My siblings and I have to scrub my parents' house because they are gross and cannot see well.
Load More Replies...I was so lucky as a child as I had a doorknob, I also had a lock on the outside so I could be locked away as punishment. Parents are aholes
My Dad Is Watching Videos While Driving. Then He Yells At My Mother For Looking Up A Number For Work (He Doesn't Even Have A Job)
A bit drastic, but call the non-emergency police number and report him. He could kill someone!
Not drastic. Humans kill 50 thousand people in the USA alone every year from avoidable collisions. Most of them can be traced back to either intoxication or willful stupidity like this dad.
Load More Replies...Don't get in the car when he's driving, sooner or later he's going to hurt someone.
This. Refuse to ride with him. If he does it while you're in the car, tell him to pull over so you can get out or you'll call the police.
Load More Replies...My husband and I have both been in auto accidents because the other driver was on their phone. Dangerous and illegal
Absoltuely illegal. Is he somehow r******d to threaten his car inmates like this?
Hopefully your mother divorces him before he gets you or someone else killed.
Woah! what a wonderful father he is, and yelling and cursing a woman makes him feel so much better and in control. King of Abuser Father/Husband.
Steinorth also told PsychCentral that our moods can be very powerful in affecting how we view an annoying habit. “Be honest with your partner,” she says. For instance, you might say, “I’m just having a bad day, and I don’t want to snap at you over something stupid.” Find something relaxing to do, like reading a book or taking some time to meditate, before you start harping on your partner. “It’s not right to take our stuff out on our partners.”
One Of My Parents Decided To Wash My Le Creuset And Place It Like This To Dry. I'm Literally Crying. I Said A Thousand Times For Them Not To Touch It
Very dumb. The pan, although not ruined, will take hours to repair.
Load More Replies...I'm with you. My visiting mom decided to "help" when I left her alone in the apartment for a few hours...she spilled a bucket of bleach on the carpet and left a big white blotch in the middle of the floor. I lost my deposit... nearly a months salary. She never even apologized.
Wow. She sure didn’t end up being of any help.
Load More Replies...This is baffling to me. I have 100 year old cast iron pans that were my great grandmother's. I wash them with soap and a brush all the time, and it has zero impact on the seasoning. I can't imagine buying something that expensive that can be ruined so easily.
DO NOT TOUCH MY LE CREUSET EVER!!! Unless you wanna die, then I will happily allow you to touch it.
Luckily, they also transform into rather effective weapons, due to their strong construction.

My Wife Doesn’t Throw Her Trash Away Before Putting Her Dish In The Sink, So I Often End Up With This
Wet paper products terrify me. Like it’s an actual phobia of mine. I nearly throw up every time I see it or touch it.
Load More Replies...You know there's ways of poisoning ppl, traceless ways. I'm just saying, options
Tip in onto her bedside table, every single time she does it. She'll stop doing it very quickly!
My mom does a worse thing. We don't eat at the same time and she leaves her stuff in the dishes and let's it dry out so I have to soak the trash to get it loose before I can wash it. At least this can be scraped off with a chisel.
This makes me crazy. I live with my brother, his wife and 3 kids and am in charge of the dishes. They just put everything in the sink. They don't rinse anything ever. It takes me an extra 10 minutes every night to dig out all the garbage and recyclables, rinse them out and put them where they belong before I can even start loading the dishwasher. Daily frustration!
leave it to pile up. Get a pet rat or two and let them breed and feed in the kitchen. See if she gets the hint.
My Wife Kept Threatening To Throw Away My Favorite Pair Of Yard Work Shorts. Today I Found Them Like This
Turns out that they weren't yard work shorts, if you dig through the OP. She would spend ages getting ready to go out somewhere with him and he'd just throw these on instead of dressingnnicely. That doesn't make her actions correct, she should have actually sat down and talked to him like an adult instead of making stuff into a guessing game by hinting with a compliment if he put effort into looking nice, but the title doesn't tell the actual story.
Maybe she has tried to talk to him like an adult and he didn’t care.
Load More Replies...I remember reading this on Reddit- he didn't just wear them for gardening/ around the house etc but out to places where you are socially expected to dress nicer eg a sit down restaurant etc. So the title sounds like the wife is awful but actually the wife isn't that bad- yea communicating would be better but if she's tried that as well I understand!
Thank you, I knew there had to be more to the story!!
Load More Replies...My Brothers And Sister Chipped In To Get My Mom A Nice Set Of Kitchen Knives. Dad Used The Chef Knife To Pry Frozen Meat Apart And Cracked It
That is now dad's knife. He gets to buy the replacement.
Load More Replies...Not necessarily. Some knives are made of particularly hardened steel so they can hold their sharp edge longer. The tradeoff is that extra hardness makes the metal more brittle. That's not an issue so long as you don't drop it on a hard surface, bang on it, or try to use it as a pry bar. Just use a cheap butter knife to pry apart frozen meat; they're made of semi-mild steel that will bend before it breaks.
Load More Replies...I'm sorry, but using a knife for this purpose is fine. Normal. Understandable. But if the steel can crack, during that use, then that is a really, really s**t quality knife.
I thought tha same, like in the show Forged in Fire, knifes are practically tortured and 99% of the times they turn out with a chip or two tops.
Load More Replies...My husband uses mine to open Amazon boxes. The good ones are now hidden.😁
No. That's how quality hardened steel breaks when it is subjected to twisting/bending forces. Good knives are very brittle because hard, brittle, steel holds an edge better. If you know how to use and care for them they'll be great for generations.
Load More Replies...To be fair, that also means the knife set wasn't as "nice" as you thought either.
Oh, Let Me Just Put These Empty Eggshells Back In The Container. I Married A Savage
My entire family has done this until recently, not sure what changed
Perhaps one of them contracted salmonella and realized the error of their ways?
Load More Replies...Eggshells are good for plants too! You can also give them a quick rinse, crush them up, and give them to your chickens or your doggos!
Load More Replies...A lot of people do this. It keeps the albumen coating the inside of the shells from rotting in the trash. The time it gets nasty is when they use ALL the eggs, leave the shells in the carton, then put it back in the refrigerator. Another fun one is leaving the empty milk carton on the table because they don't want to stink up the garbage can.
I do that then when it's full of shells crush those bad boys for the compost
I do this. Then crush them up and give them to my birds for their beaks
I've been known to do this but I live alone so I'm not bothering anyone else.
I do this. Then dump them in the garden and toss the egg container in the trash. Easier than n walking to the garden for every egg shell.
I never heard of this until I recently read an article about how this is really unhealthy because it can spread salmonella to other parts of the fridge. My response was "no one really does that..." Guess I was wrong!
My Brother Was Mad Because I Wouldn't Let Him Have Anymore Candy After He Had Almost A Whole Bag. This Is What He Did. This Is My 1000-Dollar iPad That I Earned
Isn't that just the charging cable though? Isn't that easily replaceable
The cable might be easily replaced, but if it has been torn off with that much force it could easily damage the connector on the iPad or the board the connector is attached to.
Load More Replies...Honestly, I'd make that kid work his butt off to "pay" for that back. That's what happens in the real world he might as well learn now.
The kid's a sociopath. Don't be alone with him and lock up your stuff.
Get some pliers and pull it out. There's enough of it sticking out to get a grip on. You should be fine.
This works. I've done this to myself and used pliers to remove.

My Fiance Refuses To Finish A Bottle Of Coke Before Opening Another
I don’t understand, is there something wrong with the coke at the bottom?
Red flags. Waste of money. Buy smaller containers if he can't finish them. He knows he won't drink them but instead of putting down the drain and throwing it away he puts it in fridge. Now it takes up space until, my guess, OP deals with it. Inconsiderate, doesn't think ahead, wastes money.
So you just snap-judged OP's fiance as "inconsiderate, doesn't think ahead, wastes money" and said that not finishing Coke bottles is "red flags" without even the smallest pause to think about why the fiance does this? I do this same thing, and it's because I get easily distracted, have focus issues, and often forget entirely about the bottle I opened. Am I "red flags"? Are you going to call me "inconsiderate, doesn't think ahead, wastes money" as well without knowing me in the slightest?
Load More Replies...Ah yes. The term my wife uses for the bottom third is “cone juice”. The cone juice is markedly inferior to the good stuff in the top two thirds. (Married thirty years, two grown, successful children. Laughter is the secret.)
Nah. It's because the coke go flat but you feel guilty wasting it and you just may have a coke emergency where all the good coke is gone. In which case flat coke is better than none. So you save it.
Load More Replies...Probably go flat. Flat Coca Cola sucks. Does he drink and use them as a mixer or chaser cause I used to do this when I drank all the time.
My Brother “Salted” The Driveway

Those things need to be washed and they don't dry in the case. Taking a still wet thingie and putting it in your mouth feels disgusting. I understand the wife for not keeping it in the closed container, but soap dispenser snout is weird. I keep mine on the edge of a designated glass/cup.

My Husband Put This Much Milk Back In The Fridge
Yep, I would put that back and that is about as much as I put in a massive mug of tea
Load More Replies...Pretty sure it was empty and that is just what was left on the inside walls, now collected into a corner.
I'm sure he was thinking your gerbil might need a little glass of milk later today.
Leave it in there. Pretend you haven't noticed. Don't buy another until he finally throws it away. "Oh, I thought we still had some. Don't use it much anymore. Hadn't noticed."
My brother does this all the time and it drives me up the flipping wall every time.
One of our teenage girls does this all the time. If we toss it, she complains that she “was gonna drink that!”. After 3 days opened and left sitting on the kitchen shelf…smh!
Wife Made Cupcakes, 8-Year-Old Ate The Frosting
If you make cukecups, and you have an 8 year old in the house, you either have to keep an eye on the cupcakes or the 8 year old at all times.
An 8 year old is old enough to understand this isn't ok. You need to get to the bottom of why they're trying to get angry attention from you.
Eight-year-olds will do things like that. It's just the way they are. If there is something radically wrong with them.
Eight years old is way too old for this bratty behavior! However, that is plenty old enough to learn how to frost cupcakes.

Agreement I have with my mom is that if she's concerened about something, she talks to me about it first. And then if we need to, we go through the device together. That way, I can still have privacy and she can know I'm safe and we can address any problems as a team.
I'm not a parent, but that sounds like a much more respectful way to make sure that you are safe, without going behind your back! I'm glad she acknowledges that you have a right for privacy.
Load More Replies...If this is a teenager, I am totally encouraged to see a father checking on what their kid is being exposed to. If this is an adult, then yea…not so much
If they are a lil kid yes, but a teenager has a right to privacy.
Load More Replies...What a piece of s**t for a dad. Every one here saying it's okay if he is a minor. It is not. And depending of the persons age, it's illegal. And even if it wasn't, that's one of the greatest way to f**k your relationship with you kid. Snooping on childs personal messaging is immoral, a d**k move and to a certain point, illegal. Wake up people. Your children have rights.
If my parents hadn’t checked my chat history they wouldn’t have found the boy I was talking to (me 14f at the time, boy “17”) was actually a 40 yo man who had craftily extracted enough info from me to know where I lived. Probably saved my life. It’s not their kids they don’t trust, it’s that good parents know how predators operate.
Load More Replies...I had a former best friend do this, I had something funny I wanted to show them on my phone, they took that opportunity to go through my entire message history and photos. I kept asking what the holdup was and what they were doing and they just ignored me and finally when they handed me my phone back I saw what they had done. Now I know no matter how long you've been friends with someone, don't give them access to your private information. I truly consider them my best friend before they pulled this. 😞

My Mom Wanted To Make Tea But Instead Of Asking For Help With The Electric Kettle She Microwaved My Chargeable Self Heating Mug And Caught It On Fire
As an englishman, tea and microwaves should not appear in the same sentence. ;o)
I have seen this before. Is the electric kettle not a thing in the US? We don't have one, ours is a stove-top kettle, but surely people know how to boil a kettle?
I'm in the US, and I have a stove top kettle and an electric kettle. I prefer the electric kettle, hands down. Plus, it heats the water just as fast as the microwave.
Load More Replies...This sounds like a genuine, well meaning mistake, after all, those electric mugs look exactly like other mugs...but as an Englishman I feel she does need to be placed on a hurdle, and dragged through the town, "microwaving water, for tea".
Yes it probably was a genuine mistake. But we need to feed the outrage see
Load More Replies...I'm guessing this isn't England because it's against the law to microwave tea there.

Well this depends on who’s responsible to clean it up, if it’s the kids chore he’s actually helping them out
Gonna take a wild stab in the dark and guess the deal was kids can get a dog if they do everything for it
Nope, nothing of the sort, it's one mother's dog and one other dog. The kids regularly clean up the yard but don't get why their dad marks out the turds, because it would be quicker to just clean them up than mark them.
Load More Replies...Oh i often hear the argument "But it's natural!" from dog-owners walking their dogs in the town, letting them poo wherever they want and not picking it up... Yes, poo is something natural. But, hear me out: not in that quantity, not with what you feed the dogs and it will not be taken care of by bugs etc in the middle of the walkway in the middle of the town!
It will be taken care of by my hoover of a dog, though, and if I don't react fast enough I'll have to dig it out of her mouth or worry about her getting sick

I Just Have Done My Business, And My Boyfriend Left This
This is why my grandpa always told me "check for toilet tissue BEFORE you sit down."
LIFE TIP: whenever you use the last of the tp & are unable to change it for whatever reason (running late, can't find the spare roll, etc) put the empty tube on top of the toilet lid so the next person sees it BEFORE they sit down! it's the best way to still be considerate while not changing the roll
Load More Replies...My kids do this. Here is how to remedy. Take a roll in with you, and take it when you leave. Leave the empty roll empty. One day, you will hear a plea for help, which you will ignore.
That's such trailer park mentality. Or whatever is the PC term these days. Self defense - I keep a couple of spare rolls in the under counter cabinet next to the toilet. I peek now and then to make sure they are still there. So if (above) happens I still have TP. Relatives moved off property and amazingly this has never happened since.

Knives never go into dishwasher. It can dulled the blade as the pressures from the water will dislodged everything and bumped into each other. And higher water temperature can affect it as well. With ridges like the top part, you will need to use brush and do it gently, when you wash it.
Not an expensive knife expert...but if the knife was so great and expensive, how could a dishwasher break off an entire tip of a knife? I would think it should be a very solid knife.
Load More Replies...Is this bad? I can't afford a knife that good, so I have no idea if that's something you're not supposed to do.
It’s very bad. Look at all the dents the dishwasher put in it.
Load More Replies...Dishwashers have a tendency to knock things around, potentially banging the sharp edge against a hard surface. The hot water can also deform wooden handles. Dishwasher detergent can also be especially corrosive on high carbon steel knives, which are preferred by some chefs over stainless steel. Knives hand forged in Japan are almost exclusively high carbon steel, and should be hand washed with mild detergent and dried immediately. I put my cheap stainless steel knives (with plastic handles) in the dishwasher and I only need to sharpen them occasionally. I have a few nicer knives that are less resistant to rust and have wooden handles, and I will NEVER put them in the dishwasher.
Load More Replies...A friend tried...tried...putting my Global knives into the dishwasher...I...persuaded him...that it might not be the best course of action, for him personally, to do so.
I don’t see the damage. Some of my antique butcher knives I use rust in the dishwasher and have to be hand washed and oiled and some have handles that are damaged in the dishwasher from the heat. But I have some stainless steel that do fine. I keep mine razor sharp.
Truth is, no one wants to spend hours pampering a pan or a knife, and few people have the time to do so.
I know someone who tossed a set of ceramic knives in and they came out in pieces. They can get expensive as well. Very sharp but kind of fragile.
I have knives from this brand. The dents are part of the design. This isn't a cleaver. The tip is actually broken off.
This is the normal shape for a Japanese vegetable knife, they are like slim cleavers and called nakiri https://www.japanny.com/collections/nakiri-vegetable/products/kanetsune-dsr-1k6-hammered-usuba-japanese-knife-165mm

Meh. I mean, it doesn't mess with functionality so long as the cubes aren't taking on weird odors/tastes.
It does mess with functionality because you usually refill a fully empty one and by rotating make sure you always have ice since it takes hours to freeze. If you've got several people in the house ice can go really fast and with this method there's likely large gaps of time where there's no ice.
Load More Replies...My roommate does this and it drives me crazy, like use them all and refill or just refill the half you took, it's not hard....

She knows hubby had a stroke 2 days before DILs dad died & we have no income. Told DIL to move back to Alabama with the kids if her family here won't help & they refuse to get jobs. Told her to remove her months ago, but she trusted Grandma. Grandma just lost granddaughter and both great grandkids. We're going to be the guardians if the worst happens.

XD However, I did do everything I could to gross her out, such as catching insects to show to her, pouring salt into my water and drinking it in front of her, and eating the various Mexican foods made of brains, intestines, and eyeballs during family gatherings.
Load More Replies...I'm a younger brother and I never did anything like this when I got angry at my brother. Never.
same story, charge with malicious damage to property at the local police station.
It was always my little cousins. My grandpa raised me, I was the daughter of his oldest son and I was just sort of dumped off on him. Grandpas youngest daughter never moved out and her children started coming along. I never had my own room or privacy, nor my own toys. Anything I was given by a friend or other relatives at Christmas was promptly destroyed by her kids while I was at school and had to leave all my things just out in the open. I never had anything to myself, and the few things I loved were destroyed without consequence because their mother resented me taking up space and resources from my grandpas retirement fund that she felt should all be hers and for her kids. My grandpa relied on her somewhat to help navigate certain things in his later life so it was easier for 10 year old me to accept it and move on than it was for him to confront her. Not a lesson a child that age should learn, but it did help me to empathize with him. I miss him so bad.

My Brother Always Makes My Poor Mom Clean After Him
It's time for him to learn a lesson. Your mother should give him one last warning, then stop doing his laundry until he finds the courtesy to put the dirty clothes in the laundry hamper. He won't want to participate in school sports if the other students tell him he stinks...
Why.. why don't you clean it up and help her by getting after him about being a slob
I'd throw them out. Then make him buy his own clothes. Problem solved.
he has ears, Just grab one and don't let go until he has cleaned his mess.
My friend put all her son's clothes that were lying about into garbage bags and hid them in the attic. Told him they'd been collected as rubbish. It was weeks before she gave them back.

UGH! I would take it off the counter and put it in his car - the driver's seat and buckle it in.
This man-child needs some lessons on etiquette asap because that's freaking disgusting putting the garbage can on the counter with the open foods that are being eaten 😑. It's really weird that he'd rather put a dirty trash can on the counter like that than to simply put a new bag in it. I bet he does other weird things too, lol 😆
This is disgusting. He's a child. That being said, one thing I have seen people do is to leave a role of bags attached to the bottom of the one that's in the bin, so that when the old one is removed, the new one automatically replaces itself.
I'd do this I think. I suck at putting those in and never do it the way my parents want. I don't get what the trick is

Found My Husband's Stash Of Empty Wrappers
UK tap water is perfectly good to drink. Seeing so much plastic waste is irritating
What is it with men on this page. Yes, I know there are a few women equally at fault, but it seems to be mostly blokes. I have been a bloke for 64 years. I do all the cooking, I have a full-time job and at weekends I have my "homework" - fencing, grass-cutting, looking after memorials, laundry, ironing, cleaning etc. I am married but my wife is not very well, so I do 90% of the housework. Sometimes she is just not well enough to clear her dinner plate away and put it in the dishwasher, I do not begrudge her that but some of the "sentient lifeforms" on this thread are just so damn' lazy! It's easy to blame their up-bringing but in the end, surely they are rational, right-thinking evolved adults, able to take care of themselves? Partners are not slaves, they are partners, equal and also deserving of support as well as being supportive.
Seeing so much plastic, no wonder USA is the most wasteful country in the world.

THIS THREAD IS MAKING ME MAD, let me just scream into the endless void that is the internet. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you for your time
What's with all the comments that say it's ok to controll communication?
My biggest pet peeve is my wife pours a glass of wine, takes a sip, puts a ziplock bag over the top to keep it "fresh". The next day, grabs it from the fridge and pours it out cause it tastes "old". Yes, she has done this dozens of times.
I feel your pain. My ex did this constantly. She didn’t really drink but would alway pour a huge glass and carry it around when we had company. Then would toss it out. Sometimes she would even pour another glass. So I just started sucking it down instead of letting her toss it out.

I’m so glad I live with just a cat. None of this kind of c**p going on. And if I do exactly as Her Majesty demands, everything’s just fine.
Sorry guys. I'm from Denmark. It's just baffles me. What's wrong with a bicycle? At least just for going 5 km from home? Why does everyone in the family need a car? Is your public transportation so s****y? Not having a go at you! Just wonder. :-)
Yes, yes it is that bad. Literally no roads have bike lanes, and sometimes the very few, very poorly maintained sidewalks just end randomly. The only busses I know of are school busses. It’s atrocious
