Are you aggravated with him for something else?
It could be minor like not cleaning up or taking out the trash but for whatever reason the ketchup bottle just sets you off

I’m not going to say overreacting because it’s your house & you asked him to do something a certain way, imo he should respect that
I’m just thinking it’s maybe more than the ketchup bottle

I know how I am, I’ll ignore bigger stuff & something little will set me off


You are probably right. But am I wrong? He is in the guard and about to get sent off. But instead of working in the meantime, he is sitting at home not doing anything. I come home from work and the trash isn't out at the curb, he's had all day. Couple that with me directly asking him to do something and he ignores it, and yeah, I start a thread!!!

I don’t know how old he is but if he’s still living with you I’m betting getting activated/deployed is a big damn deal to him. (You should act like it is to you too but it’s gonna be okay)

He’s not thinking about your ketchup bottle and he doesn’t give a frick about it. If you push it your just going to have resentment.

I don’t know why your pissed but I agree with the other guy. I think you are pissed about other stuff and this seems like the easiest thing to fix.

Let this one go man.

Edit: you said sent off. I don’t know what that means. If he’s going to basic, you can damn well bet he will put your ketchup bottle back when he returns. He may move out. And he’s probably pretty nervous about his whole situation. Just chill. Problem will fix itself.

Either stop trying to squeeze every last drop of ketchup out of the bottle and get a new bottle. Or stop putting it in the door of the refrigerator.

Just curious, where do you store a full bottle of ketchup in the fridge? Side door? Maybe just don't store the ketchup in the side door period?

What you should do is everytime it falls out go to his room and leave it on his bed for him to put up.

My first world problem. I woke up early today.

I put the ketchup with the top part down so that the ketchup will be at the top of the bottle when I use it.

Depending on how old the kid is, he probably just doesn't like you and just likes pissing you off.

You need to know your role as a step dad.

Most ketchup companies have the flat squirt top for storing precisely for this. Do you still buy the old timey small metal top ketchup bottle ? It's really amazing if you explore new products that are designed to improve your life. You have a remote or you get up and change the channel ?

Just store it in the door with the other condiments like a not dysfunctional family.

This will work. My daughter had a bad habit of leaving her towels in the fricking sink after getting ready. I said something to her a couple times with no results. The next couple of times I picked them up, laid them on her pillow in her bed and left them there. She stopped doing that shite.

Play the long game. Throw that shite out. When they ask where's the ketchup say I don't know. When they buy another bottle throw that shite out also. When they ask where's that bottle, say I don't know. Then continue this behavior till nobody cares about ketchup anymore.

You'll be out a few dollars but you will get to scratch your passive aggressive itch knowing they don't get anymore ketchup on your watch.

Or you could buy the plastic bottles that are meant to be stored upside down and quit being a wiener about ketchup.

That says a lot about you...how much do you pour on your well done steaks?

If you have plastic bottles that "burst on the floor", you must be yanking the frick out that fridge door when you open it.

It sounds like you're the problem here.


And slow your roll big boy. No reason to attack the door like a wild animal. The foods not going anywhere.

I think everyone who lives together has some weird mini battles over insignificant stuff like this. Part of life.
