*in my quiet voice* Oh so your wife is a poster/lurker on CF? Gotcha.
$2.99 for a set of 30? I dunno, half still sounds pretty good. I think I'm losing money with your plan.
I used to know a guy who would close up the bag but capture so much air in it that it looked like a blimp. I thought you were trying to limit the air in it not capture as much air as possible. But at least he closed it up...
5 females, 1 male in our house and the lids go close every time. Stemmed from when we had a cat before kids, and the cat would play in any water. The 5yr old even closed the lid on the toilet in Hobby Lobby today (although I tried to catch her before she did because gross--who know how often that gets cleaned). Love the slow-close toilet lids, we have them on 2 of our 3 toilets.
I do take the garbage out, and set it down to the curb on garbage days.
One of my most annoying habits is leaving the dishwasher and garbage open, which with our kitchen layout makes for an obstacle on either side. Usually I do it to remember to start the dishwasher or know I have more things to throw away. Remember the scene in Date Night where Steve Carell leaves the drawers open at the real estate office and Tina Fey runs into them? Yeah, me on both accounts. I leave things open and run into them myself.

no way this doesn't turn into a bunch of jokes, but sounds your wife and I should shower together and you and DH can share
I like it boiling hot too and he doesn't. Also, I hate standing just outside the stream of water and therefore we rarely shower together. I want the water to myself, dammit! That may be our biggest mistake when building, not putting in two shower heads. I remember that sounding so extravagant at the time, lol.My wife and I eat different breads. I use one slice for lunch. We keep them in the freezer so they don't mold up on us.
We both have enough faults, I can't call her out on hers.
I know I'm perfect but DH has a few things to work on.
He doesn't believe in putting many things in the dishwasher. Wants them hand washed. That's fine but he is content to let them pile up on the counter. For days. On end. In our apartment with less counter space, this would really piss me off. I had started washing but then stopped because I wanted to put stuff in the dishwasher and he'd take it out. So I boycotted washing dishes.
There's more space in the house but I can still see the pile sitting there.
Oh, he used to put the toothpaste cap on like it needed to survive a tornado or something. He's finally started putting it on softer like a normal person.
Oh I guess the one thing he'd say about me is that I open a new box of granola while there's still stuff left in the old one. And then I keep two boxes open for a while til I throw out the old one, with granola still in it. Sometimes I end up with three boxes open at a time. Every time, he's like why did you open a new box when the other one isn't empty???? I'm like because the other box is just crummy stuff and I like crunchy.
I'm sure there's more but he just got home so I should be nice now

CTown, the funny is for the 3 yr old commenting on it. Was that with no coaching?

I'm thinking you could really drive up the page clicks at CF if you'd post that video of you & Hopp's wife showering together.
Our new dishwasher has a 4 hour delay function. It has really cut down on the times we forget to start the dishwasher before we go to bed. Now we can fill it after dinner and start it on delay.
This has been a recent development in our house. I had thought it was the kids, until it started happening with cupboards that are too high for even me to generally reach. :/

I prefer the water way hotter in our house, too. I'm sensing that men are just wusses about hot water?
No. He started asking questions about the grass.
Kiddo: Why is it not green?
Me: The grass is sleeping, it's winter time.
Kiddo: Why is that grass green?
Me: That's a weed, weeds wake up from their nap earlier.
Kiddo: Why is there no grass there?
Me: I think somebody was driving on it (This comment was supposed to be focused on him and not driving his PowerWheels knockoff car in the grass)
Kiddo: Mommy shouldn't drive on the grass! I will tell her not to!
My wife also prefers insanely hot showers. I prefer the temp to be a bit more moderate. I'm hot enough as is.
I think insanely hot showers in the winter are counterproductive. I want my body acclimated to - not shocked by - the temperatures of the season.

I sympathize with your dishes issue. I do 90% of the dishes in our house and I dislike piling. Most of the baby dishes need to be hand washed still so I can't leave them for more than a day or two.
I would suggest mixing in the last of the previous granola with mostly NEW granola. Then you don't throw as much away. But I'm the guy that scrapes the last minute amounts of peanut butter out of the jar before I use a new one, so take it for what it is.
