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.
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!
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.
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! =)
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)
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.
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!
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
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!
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!?
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...
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!) :)
AMEN!!!! I will be standing at the sink.. cleaning the EMPTY sink and my husband will walk over and put a dish inside the sink and I will just look at him and say 'REALLY?'

ReplyDeleteHa Ha... oh no you didn't ;-)
DeleteMaybe they are saving them for a craft project? That is why I always have random stuff around my house;)

DeleteAll the darn time. Except, they leave the bags in the boxes, too. It drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteMy BROTHER IN LAW does this! Ohh so frustrating haha!
ReplyDeleteHaHA! Future Hoarders? Go ahead and call TLC!
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh. My bf does this!!! So annoying!
ReplyDeleteYES! 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.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha that is funny but so sad.. esp if your hidden treat was chocolate!
DeleteYes! 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.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't you'll hoard it! Recycle what you can.
ReplyDeleteUGH, 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.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. My hubby is the worst offender though! lol
ReplyDeleteThis 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! =)
ReplyDeleteMy daughters always seems to keep empty cereal boxes. I guess because they want to do the activities that are on them.

DeleteLol! 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!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when the box becomes empty they are overwhelmed with sadness and to throw away the packaging seems insult to injury. CAN'T!
ReplyDeleteMy husband does this all the time...and it's just the two of us most of the time!
ReplyDeleteLOL 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!
ReplyDeleteOMG! 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!
ReplyDeleteOh good I am not the only one :) It's even worse when there is just enough to make you want more. Just finshing it!
ReplyDeleteThat'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
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteThis happens all the time here, too! I don't know why no one else can throw things out!
ReplyDeleteThat makes me crazy! It only takes a second to recycle the package!
ReplyDeleteI 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!?
ReplyDeleteHaha! I am guilty of this!
ReplyDeletethat is good you can admit it ;-)
DeleteHa! I hate seeing this too! That, and when they leave just ONE in a large package. So much wasted space!
ReplyDeleteLOL I posted a photo along those lines recently myself. Happens all the time here.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part about when that happens is noone admits to it. It didn't happen by itself! - Jenn @ The Rebel Chick
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteYep! It definitely happens here too. You are not alone. I even find them underneath the bed and in the closets :-(
ReplyDeleteWell...maybe they don't want to disappoint you? In case you were hoping for the last cracker :)
ReplyDeletethat stuff drives me batty. it's just a couple more steps to toss it in the trash or recycling

ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteYes 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!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just kids...it's adults too! My husband is like this. Sometimes we find empty milk cartons in the fridge. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance does this. It's so annoying! Drives me nutty!
ReplyDeleteYES! That drives me crazy! Also when the dishes are next to the sink or dishwasher as opposed to inside!

AMEN!!!! I will be standing at the sink.. cleaning the EMPTY sink and my husband will walk over and put a dish inside the sink and I will just look at him and say 'REALLY?'
DeleteAll the time! It tends to happen when I am craving something LOL. I go to eat it and there is nothing there boo
ReplyDeleteHa! I guess it is just too hard to move that on to the trash! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA my boys are always do this in my house as well. Glad its just not me.
