I don’t mind appliances so much, but I hate packages of food, chips etc... all over counter to the point you have to move things to have a workspace—I hate that.
Mu ex would put his shaving cream, razor, deodorant etc on a window ledge in the bathroom—even with a large medicine cabinet RIGHT NEXT TO THE WINDOW. I solved that problem by emptying a whole box of tampons and lining them up standing on end on the window ledge—he got the message. (otherwise known as decorating with tampons)
Funny how they can't manage to put things away when the place is right there. My hubs is the same way. He actually doesn't bother to even put the razor away. It just sits on the countertop til i put it away. But the funny thing is if i'm in there with him, he'll start wiping up the counter and putting things away as tho he does it all the time, or as tho i never clean up the bathroom.

Ve-ery Creative!
I tried that for awhile. Putting the chips and snacks in baskets on the counter to see if they would eat the stuff. Because i have a "special cabinet" for snacks (uh oh) and they wouldn't go in there and get stuff, so i'd have to take something out and put it on the counter anyway to get them interested. So i tried this new way and it worked a little in getting them to eat the stuff that they asked me to buy for them, but i'm still not too comfortable with it....
Any other kitchen related issues? I'm pretty messed up in that department. No unmatched dishes or silverware. Glasses organized by size and design. uh oh. But i do have a few wire hangers if that's any consolation.
now..THAT..is what i call 'creative communication' rofl rofl rofl
