Men are strange, strange creatures

Cleared out the pantry today (and that damn near wiped me out) and well...

Ok. I know why the box of speaker cable was in that corner. It's where we put stuff we need to take out to the Man Room but are too lazy too right now. Ditto the severed zombie head, the NYE hat and the box of empty brewer's bottles. And I completely understand the slab of beer sitting there.

I can even forgive the fact that we had four open packets of pine nuts (torasin forgets to CHECK THE PANTRY before shopping for incidentals) and the raw cashews, and the almonds.

BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE JAR OF VEGEMITE? 400g, completely empty, sealed up and neatly placed back on the shelf next to an open, half-full jar. Why would you do that?

DO ALL MEN DO THIS? EVERYWHERE?

I have nearly empty bottles of salad dressing and random other foodbits in our fridge because of the husband.

Men are weird.

Oh I've all but broken him of the habit of opening multiples (IF THERE IS ALREADY BUTTER IN THE FRIDGE, DO NOT OPEN A NEW FUCKING TUB) but he's still to grasp the aspect of throwing stuff out.

I've... almost got this situation going on in my cupboard right now. An empty jar of Marmite next to a full jar of Marmite. They've both got lids on, though. I'm sort of... hoping the empty jar will get better? I'm reluctant to add it to the pile of recycling I can't work out what to do with? And I'm not even a man.

lmao. Marmitian osmosis?

Just out of curiousity, what element of this makes it gendered behaviour rather than "something torasin does"? I"m not seeing it. Just saying.

I have seen my nephew do it, Luke do it, numerous uncles but not my father because he can be highly anal. Although he never washes his tea mugs so they end up with tannin layered fourteen feet thick.
