Mountain Dew Rampage
I just went ballistic and spazzed out over soda cans. My husband is a bit of a Mt. Dew fan, and now his cousin (who is also a Mt Dew fan, is staying with us. They go through quite a few cans a day, which means a lot of empty cans sitting around.
Thankfully they don’t leave them spread out through the whole house, just in one or two spots. However, I HATE seeing them pile up. Even one can on the counter drives me insane. It is a rule that they must be rinsed before being left on the counter, and I love my husband because he at least does that much.
However this morning I went crazy. there were maybe 8 cans on the counter, but there were ants all over the floor. I HATE ANTS. They will not go away. About a week ago I went ballistic and put the garbage can for the soda cans right outside the back door (right next to the counter they get stacked on). I thought it would help keep them off the counter. It didn’t. Well, it did because I kept throwing them in the can.
Anyway, I started grabbing the cans, rinsing them and brought them out back. Then realized the garbage can was full, so I dumped it all over the porch and started crushing them. They take up a lot less space that way. Then I came in the office where my husband was in search of cans, found about 5 more and i *might* have freaked out a bit and said I was about to ban all soda from my house. Then I went out and crushed them, and came in and apologized.
Why is it that things like empty soda cans can set me over the edge?

With me it’s rinse and crush the milk jugs and put them with all the other crushed jugs. I think it’s the fact that you know you’ve made it clear where they belong, and someone is to lazy to make the couple extra steps to finish the job. This then makes another job for you to have to do. This is what it is for me at least. And I don’t get to use preggo hormones as an excuse, just plain old ticked off Mama hormones.

My son in law is THAT lazy??? How dare he!!! Tell him his mom in law is going to come and slap him aside the head if he does not straighten out and care for them himself… I can take on the cousin too if you would like.
