That's one reason (among others) Hubby and I don't have kids. Its hard enough to keep our own chaos under control.

Back when I was a teenager we found my mother's glasses in the refrigerator. She'd been putting things away after supper, and got carried away.
Still not as funny as the time my mom put a package of hamburger out on the drainboard to thaw that was still in the silver bag from the grocery store, and my dad thought it was his lunch and took it to work with him. Fortunately he kept it all day in a refrigerator, so it was still usable, but Mom was still demanding to know who took the hamburger. She came down to my bedroom and demanded to know if I'd taken the hamburger, and I asked, "Why would I bring raw hamburger in here?"

In my house the motto is "It isn't lost until mom can't find it."
For some reason I notice all the stuff stashed in weird places, so when somebody goes "where is <blank>" I usually know where it is.
ETA: I mention this because it's frustrating as they should be keeping up with their own damned stuff! And that includes Mr. Mathnerd.At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.

In our house: "Dear, where did I put <object>?"
Even though she wasn't around when I put it down, she knows exactly where it is a disturbingly-large percentage of the time...“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

Quoth WishfulSpirit View PostI fill the reusable pod with grounds and put water in the coffee maker. A few minutes later I check and...my cup is overflowing. Someone overfilled the pot last time and didn't drain it. It had to be one of them since I don't drink coffee at night, but they do. GRRR. I redo the coffee procedure after carefully walking the overflowing cup to the sink trying not to spill it everywhere (I succeed...yea!).
What was the point... Oh! So one day I had the same thing happen. Somebody must have put some water in the single cup reservoir and then not made coffee. So I added mine, and it started overflowing. The thing that pissed me off the most was that it was my LAST k-cup. Since I'd rather have no coffee than suffer weak coffee, I just did without. It was a grumpy day for me. Also, I live alone. It's how I stay sane and is a bit of an indulgence. I haven't had a roommate in about 8 years and I just adore it. We're all different people, this just fits my personality.Replace anger management with stupidity management.
