Mine likes to rearrange which cabinets and drawers have silverware, cooking utensils, pots, baking sheets, canned goods, spices. She usually does it around the time I finally learn where everything goes and then gets mad when I put something in the wrong spot

The difference between being cold yet comfortable and my nose freezing off my face is the one degree my husband insists on dropping the thermostat every time I am not looking.
My wife the other day was freezing with the AC on 66. Next day she said she was burning up
I never changed the thermostat

But my wife does not fold clothes. Ever. She would rather pick her clothes out as needed from the dryer.
I fell you brother. We made a deal a long time ago that I would do laundry and she would do dishes. Because i got tired of having to search for clothes and get the wrinkles out before wearing. Plus I HATE loading the dishwasher and washing big stuff or stuff that isn't dishwasher safe then putting it all up. My kids are old enough now where they help me fold and put away clothes and we wash nearly every day so it doesnt rake lo g at all. It also gives us 15-20 mi utes to discuss what is going on in their lives at school and with friends. So i actually enjoy doing the laundry now. It gives me time to catch up with the kids and their social lives and development.

I always felt like I was in the minority on this. It is so annoying to have to dg through the dryer to find my shirts for work only to find they are wrinkled.

Also on that topic, she has perfected the art of trash jinga. She never takes the trash out and instead stacks that shite up like movers in a u-haul
Nothing puts me in a worse mood than getting home and seeing shite piled on top of the trash can.

I know you have a rough day dealing with all your clients’ problems and are borderline brain dead. But let me tell verbatim what this other woman at work said to me and why it reminds me of something 19 years ago to help you relax.

My wife decided we needed new curtains about 2 months ago. I haven't seen my tape measure since. I bought another one the first time I needed it and couldn't find it.
I have no clue where half my tools are but she at least knows she uses them and puts them in random places. So when she ask me to a project I say I don't have XYZ, find it and I will do the work. Normally takes her about 45 minutes but I eventually get my tools back. It is a never ending cycle.
ETA: The one that will randomly drive me crazy is the number of lamps we have in the house. It is like a damn 15 minute process for me to make the rounds and turn off all the lamps before bed.

Lot of laugh out loud traits I recognize in this thread. But y’all are all playing in the minor leagues. We have 5 daughters, including 3 teenagers who are all just clones of my wife.
The amount of trash, TP, towels, laundry, etc is insane. I had two install a double stack washer and dryer and second dishwasher to keep up. I should get a medal for living with 6 females.

I’d support you getting the Medal of Honor and not paying taxes again. Ever.

Bunch of freaking amateurs here I see:
Every Jan credit card shows 7K spent on Christmas despite having agreed upon 2K budget.
20K down payment on house gone from savings on day I'm to sign papers with contractor.
Constant yacking about sticking to budget, while constantly not sticking to budget.
Constant yacking about importance in sticking to a routine in kids lives, yet changes plans and directions 3 times going to grocery store.
Constantly stating she has to clean house only to find it more cluttered with her crap every day.
In short constantly saying one thing and doing something completely opposite.
Constantly driving on empty. Would drive past 20 gas stations on way home only to ask me to go fill her car up. Having to take gas can to her and because she ran out of gas on side of road.
Losing keys, credit cards, check book, wallet, ID almost daily.
Never washing dishes after supper. Left them in the sink despite having dish washer.
Clothing cycle went clean basket, wear, dirty basket, washer/dryer, clean basket. Never folded and put or hung up. May be tied to fact that she saw clothes as disposable.
Never understanding that you season the food as you cook it. Not just throw the ingredients together in a pot for the prescribed amount of time.
Never satisfied with house, car, property, literally nothing. Always wanting something new only to trash it or forget it in short order after purchasing it.
Best day of my life was when she said she had decided I couldn't make her happy, cuz trying was damn sure killing me.
Reading all these just enforces my desire to remain single for the rest of my life. It's the best life I've ever known.

I tied the hair brush to the bathroom vanity with a nylon rope. Problem solved.

Excessive use of bathroom tissue. I am 100% positive females eat TP, there’s no other explanation.
This. We have a little basket by the toilet that holds extra rolls and I'll stock that thing with 3 or 4 rolls and 24 hours later it's down to 1 roll again.
If she ever gets sick, she has to have a roll of toilet paper or a tissue box within arms reach of every room she might enter. God forbid she has to walk to the bathroom to blow her nose. There's half-used toilet paper rolls everywhere except where it should be: next to the damn toilet.

Yep lmao
I’m always getting blamed for moving shite only to learn later she put her shite somewhere else and I did not touch her stuff after all.
Yea good times man.

After her using and losing 4 pairs of scissors, I bought an expensive set and store it on the top shelf of our cabinets. She’s short and I’m tall. She can see them but not reach, and she constantly complains. I told her to produce 2 of the 4 lost, and I’ll lower it one shelf.

Mine likes to borrow my car a lot when she takes the kids somewhere because I have the bigger SUV. She NEVER remembers to put my keys back. Leaves them in her purse. The other day I was leaving for work and my regular set of keys, and BOTH spare keys were missing. I call her (she already left for work in her car) and sure enough, 2 of them were in her damn purse. I had to call a damn co-worker to pick me up. I told her she doesn't get to use my car until she finds the 3rd one because I'm not paying $100 for another key fob because she's too irresponsible to return things.
I ended up finding the 3rd one a few weeks later in the pocket of one of her 30 jackets she has in the closet.

It's endemic to the female sex and hereditary. EX and then later the kids would walk in from 100 degree heat and leave door wide open. ...just never close it. Never. Come home from work in August to find front door wide open.

Not taking the trash out when its full is up there in the gross level of not rinsing dishes before the dishwasher for me. I just can't handle bad smells, I think.
I've been to people's houses where the trash is piled up like that, and it grosses me out. Especially if they hide their trash in the pantry. Whole pantry reeks.
