What we have here is failure to communicate

[Puller]

I hate it when I hear the fridge open and one of the young'uns disclaims, "we're low on milk" like it evaporated or something since they last time they poured a glass.

As a result, sometimes you have to take more subtle measures in effective communications.

Same as the toliet paper!!

Disclaims?!

I raised 2 kids. I can't remember either one EVER putting a new roll on the holder. They'd just set it on the back of the tank.

Here's one that gets the message across.

I remember leaving home after high school and discovering that bathtubs and toilets get dirty...

My son learned that food in the fridge and clean clothes in the closet don't just magically appear. A rude awakening no doubt.

EXACTLY!!!...but here's how you cure it.

Sisyphean task: keeping milk, bread and TP in a house where two young human Shop Vac/waste processing machines reside.

What gets me is the milk jug with a teaspoon of milk or the cereal box with 6 flakes placed back in the fridge or cupboard.. I didn't empty it so I don't have to put it in the trash.

Or worse yet, have to replace it.

I remember "Dad, we're out of milk".
Me:" Here's 2 bucks, go buy some".
It took her two days.

Milk : buy 3 or 4 gallons at a time
Bread: four loaves at a time
Tollet Paper : case of 48 rolls at a time

When above gets down to half, purchase original order again.

You sound like the supply bench stock monitor.

To get 4 gallon jugs of milk in my fridge, I'd have to toss some of the wife's 100 open containers of green, fuzzy stuff.

They all grow up to leave 1/8" of coffee in the bottom of the jug, failing to either toss it and make more, or turn off the hotplate so it does not burn. Our management got so sick of it they put up a notice stating that you are not mature enough to drink coffee if you commit either of these offenses.

Please allow me a little thread drift:

Same daughter, different day.
The Wife and I are sitting at the kitchen table discussing how we were going to solve the world's problems.
Here she comes: "Mom, I'm hungry".
The Momma "Look in the refrigerator".
She opens the refrigerator, looks around and comes back and says "I'm still hungry".
