Does This Happen In Your House?

Does this happen in your house? It seems to happen too often in my house. 


I'm not sure why it is so hard to throw away empty boxes and packages, but my kids seem to have a hard time doing it. Not just my youngest three, but even when my older three were younger they did the same thing. Pure craziness in the Fauci house.

  1. LOL! Yes this does, but I have to admit that most of the time its not my kids. I have been known to be a little lazy and not throw away empty boxes. Or, sometimes I leave one chip in the bag!

  2. Maybe they are saving them for a craft project? That is why I always have random stuff around my house;)

    1. My girls will actually take the empty cleaned out Blue Bell containers to their rooms for their American Girl dolls... when they are not looking I snag them and trash em'.. I am a freak when it comes to excess paper goods around the house.

  7. YES! And it is usually the hidden treats that I have been dreaming about the whole way home only to realize they were found and gobbled up.

  8. Yes! Only it's my husband that does it. Leaves empty boxes in the cabinets and freezer when he takes the last portion then I have no idea we are out.

  9. If you don't you'll hoard it! Recycle what you can.

  10. UGH, I have the SAME problem in my house. I find empty boxes all the time and they will literally be in the cabinet right next to the trash.

  11. Oh my goodness. My hubby is the worst offender though! lol

  12. This happened all the time at Granny's during the summer when all the grandkids were home. It's like whoever finished off the box was afraid to admit to it ahahahaha! =)

  13. My daughters always seems to keep empty cereal boxes. I guess because they want to do the activities that are on them.

  14. We have that problem too and my other pet peeve: leaving drawers and cabinets wide open. I'm constantly banging into them! :) (Colleen, w/ SanAntonioMomBlogs.com)

    1. GUILTY! I sometimes leave our pantry cracked... simply because it SLAMS when you shut it and I would hate to wake up a little person... Drives my husband crazy... kinda gives me the 'payback' giggles.

  15. Lol! It doesn't happen in my home but mainly because it's just me. I will know to expect it when I have kids now. Lol!

  16. Maybe when the box becomes empty they are overwhelmed with sadness and to throw away the packaging seems insult to injury. CAN'T!

  17. My husband does this all the time...and it's just the two of us most of the time!

    ReplyDelete
  18. LOL Yup, I am very familiar with this happening in my home! My two sons love to get into things and just leave them like this!

    ReplyDelete
  19. OMG! I swear I was just yelling at my family about this all weekend! I found at least 3 empty boxes in the pantry. It is so frustrating when they do that!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh good I am not the only one :) It's even worse when there is just enough to make you want more. Just finshing it!

    ReplyDelete
  21. That's exactly what happens in my house. We especially have a lot of empty water bottles everywhere lol Daddy loves to leave drops of water in all of them lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. This happens all the time in our house...or they leave 1 item left in it so they don't have to throw it out. It drives me CRAZY!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This happens in my house all the time and sadly it's not from my daughter. My husband has a habit of leaving boxes open or not throwing away the empties!

    ReplyDelete
  24. This happens all the time here, too! I don't know why no one else can throw things out!

    ReplyDelete
  25. That makes me crazy! It only takes a second to recycle the package!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I must say that is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves! We have a bag for our recyclables on the door to our pantry and what do people do? They put the empty bottle on the country right NEXT to the bag. Really!?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ha! I hate seeing this too! That, and when they leave just ONE in a large package. So much wasted space!

    ReplyDelete
  28. LOL I posted a photo along those lines recently myself. Happens all the time here.

  29. The worst part about when that happens is noone admits to it. It didn't happen by itself! - Jenn @ The Rebel Chick

  30. I hate it! My kids leave a swallow of juice in the container and puts it back in the frig. Maddening!!! But it's not just my kids, my husband will leave the empty mayo jar in the frig as well. Ugh...

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yep! It definitely happens here too. You are not alone. I even find them underneath the bed and in the closets :-(

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well...maybe they don't want to disappoint you? In case you were hoping for the last cracker :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. that stuff drives me batty. it's just a couple more steps to toss it in the trash or recycling

    ReplyDelete
  34. All the time!! Drives me crazy. I went on a snack food/cereal protest and wouldn't buy anymore. After about a week I started hearing "there is nothing to eat" to which I responded "Well I wouldn't know because when I look in the pantry it looks full." (Well I started hearing it after a few days and ignored it for about a week. Have an apple!) :)

  35. Oh my goodness that is all my teen and tween seem to do. I think there is an empty pitcher of kool aid in the fridge at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes doggone it. It's an ongoing problem and I can't figure out why it appears to be a hassle for some people to throw containers away!

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's not just kids...it's adults too! My husband is like this. Sometimes we find empty milk cartons in the fridge. Yikes!

    ReplyDelete
  38. My fiance does this. It's so annoying! Drives me nutty!

    ReplyDelete
  39. YES! That drives me crazy! Also when the dishes are next to the sink or dishwasher as opposed to inside!
