What was expected here? Take all the shit out of the fridge, put the pizza box in the bottom, then stack it all on top again to make it look neat? Maybe I’m a slob but I see no world where this isn’t the play unless there’s only like 2 slices that can fit in tupperware or a bag.
That pizza will keep much better in plastics bags, or foil or containers. The fridge will just dry it out exposed like that.
It’s dominos anyway though, so it’s going to be terrible no matter what. Probably better off not even trying to store it.
I don’t even bother putting mine in the fridge. That shit stays room temp until it’s eaten.
slightly dried-out pizza is gourmet shit, it’s like how salami is made.
You raised her, dude.
Just out of curiosity, who raised her?
For this sort of thing I’m not sure it matters. You either give a shit about this or it doesn’t even reach your attention. I’ve seen people raised by meticulous engineers that do this kind of crap. It drives those of us that care absolutely nutty as it would literally take effort for us to do something like this so we assume it’s done to piss us off but it usually is just something that some people don’t attend to at all. In their mind it’s just pizza in fridge, done, next thing.
Me, and I couldn’t be more proud of her for at least trying.
People seem to have taken this as a slight against op, but I’m gonna be real with you, for me it’s not that deep. Better to be shoved in sideways than not put in the fridge at all.
I tell my wife all the time: if you can at least put it in the fridge, then it won’t go bad. If I don’t like where you put it, I can always reorganize later. I can’t un-spoil food.
Probably an iPad
Considering the daughter has 3 daughters of her own, probably not.
Technically possible. Technically. Without much child rape, even!
The ipad released 2010. Let’s say the daughter was 3 years old at that point, they’d be 19 today. Minus 2.5 years to pump out 3 kids, they could have started at 17. Which is not unbelievable in some areas.
Yes, the ipad has been around long enough that generations raised on it could be parents now. If I made you feel old, you’re welcome.
Edit: OK, so they had 3 kids 2 years ago. Maybe a teeny bit of Epstein then.
Lol, this is what I tell my wife when she complains about one of our kids. “Guess they weren’t brought up right”.
For real though…children are humans with independent thoughts and a world of influences. Blaming parents for anything kids do wrong if insane, as if they’re little automatons who have been programmed by parents.
I’m my family this would have resulted in one parent telling the other parent that “your daughter” wasn’t raised right. That’s all I’m saying.
Exactly. Parents who complain about their kids behavior…like, did you drop them off with a pack of wolves or did you actually pay attention to them and take time out for them to teach them as opposed to yelling, dictating and insulting them?
Oh wait, maybe that’s just how I was brought up.
Yeah, my parents are still wondering “where did we go wrong,” as if they’re surprised I turned out to be worthless…
Like, I fought like hell to thrive despite how they raised me, and in the end it came crashing down around me because the psychological conditioning was just too deep set.
And it didn’t help that every time I started to get on my feet, they dragged me back down cause I guess it made them feel bad when they saw me start to do well any time I managed to cut them off temporarily. Buy they’d wriggle their way back into my life and start sabotaging everything all over again by talking down to me in strategic ways designed to trigger my ancient complexes and insecurities like only they know how to do…
I know it’s just words, but try like hell to make a life despite them. I know that with the state of things right now that’s crazy hard to do.
My mom actually got jealous when I finally got a nicer vehicle than she and my dad had. I drove clunkers my entire life until the last 8-9 years and I was proud of my new nice vehicle and she couldn’t even be happy for me. All she could see is that her gay child who escaped the evangelical upbringing was actually living better than she and my father.
The toxicity runs deep in some parents.
Also, you’re not worthless!
I can’t, it’s too late for that. The struggle and psychological pressure led to too many mental breakdowns, and I’ve embarrassed myself in public too many times to step outside anymore. I used to live independently but a series of trips to the mental hospital and a spiral of crushing debt led me squarely back into their basement where things were still turbulent for a couple years and I made a series of attempts to move out on my own again but I’m just so psychologically broken at this point that I can’t pull off the most basic things.
And yeah, they definitely had that evangelical strain of conservative christianity. It’s how I was raised and that did a hell of a lot of damage too, even completely aside from the constant put-downs speckled with unrealistically high expectations.
Being sheltered and homeschooled and taught the bible from a baptist perspective and going to a church youth group where I met my abuser and was told to look up to him as a leader didn’t help much either. By the time I was an adult I couldn’t even interact with people. I spent all those years when most people are learning how to socialize and be normal, instead I was learning the opposite. People picked up on that easily and so I was ostracized and demeaned even more, cause people love ganging up on an easy target.
By the time I started deprogramming from religion it still took me several years to complete the process, and that finally leaves me at square one, albeit without the decades of social skills that most people have cultivated by my age. And in addition I have all the baggage of every foolish thing I’ve said or done along the way.
There’s really no path forward for me. I’m a hikikomori at this point and I’m just barely starting to accept that fate with resignation.
By any chance, are you neurodivergent or suspect you may be? Before I learned that I was my life made no sense, and I stayed hella depressed. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed as autistic that my life slowly started making more sense. That doesn’t excuse or dismiss the damage caused by your parents, but it does provide a new reframing of things.
Almost certainly. But I never got screened as a kid even when I begged to find out what’s wrong with me, because back then an autism diagnosis would have brought shame on the family or whatever, so I just got yelled at and told to stop asking…
And yes, my life does make a lot more sense when I consider that I might be on the spectrum, but that’s not enough to convince people to understand or be accommodating. Hell, even if I had a diagnosis, most people still wouldn’t understand or be accommodating.
And besides, I’ve asked my healthcare providers later as an adult to screen me, but it’s not exactly their specialty. Also that was back when I was a regular pot smoker and they told me I had to be off weed for a year before they would send me to a specialist.
It’s been about a year since I’ve smoked weed at this point, but it’s also been longer than that since I’ve seen a doctor and I’m pretty sure they’ve already disenrolled me from their system. I also just don’t feel like going through the hassle anymore.
Ah, I see. It is difficult to get a diagnosis as an adult. However, it really doesn’t matter unless you’re trying to apply for SSI or similarly in whatever country to reside in.
The part that helps is to find likeminded people online and in real life if you want. I have matrix group for autistic folks if you’re interested. It’s still small, but it’s slowly growing. It just helps to talk to people experiencing similar challenges.
hey there, sounds like my family. the ONLY thing that allowed me to start healing was a hard cutoff (dad) and low contact (mom). it is different for everyone, but if it is the right thing for you, do it. they made choices while parenting that will have natural consequences for everyone involved
You need to start early with kids.
I know the feeling. Both of my parents do stuff like this and it drives me crazy. I’ve had to clean out the fridge/freezer multiple times and have found so much food that went bad.
My mom firmly believes that empty space is a sin. No matter the context; fridge, attic, basement. This made sense when I was very young, we were a family of 8 and she was the only one working, so she always went insane with coupons, and sales, and “free” stuff. We are no longer a family of 8, nor are we insanely poor, yet her habits have not changed. It pisses me off when I open the freezer, and find it packed like the opening game of Jenga. How the hell am I supposed to find anything in here, let alone reach it? I’d have to take everything out first, and then somehow put it back.
Waking up to find yet more shit on the counters and wanting to just swipe it into the trash. It’s not free real estate meme in here! I need the counters clear for cooking, it’s not extra storage agghhhh. Stuff does not go on top of the ice cube trays!!!
Counters? Oh you must be confused, those are just convenient shelves for bowls of fruit nobody asked for or will eat. Those should go on the kitchen table? That’s a good one, everyone knows that thing is only meant for bags, satchels, notebooks, and trays that could conceivably hold something but do not. And not only does stuff not go on ice cube trays, stuff also does not go on the bottom of the freezer! It’s literally sloped so you can’t do that. And if for some god-forsaken reason you have to put something down there, don’t put it over the defrost drain! Otherwise everything in the freezer gets covered in frost and we have to take everything out to clean it out! Ask me how I know!!
Daily reminder that 2½ gallon size ziplock bags exist, and they are perfect for putting away pizza when the box won’t fit in the fridge!
Amateur if it’s not falling out when you open the door are you even trying
That’s on you.
Dishwasher? Yes
That? No.
Condiments are the death of refrigerator space. All different sizes, almost never consumed quickly, and they eat up space waiting to be used.
I keep mine in bins in the dedicated condiment fridge, but then my wife has a condiment addiction so my situation may be abnormal.
bro, if you have a dedicated fridge for just condiments…
Technically not exclusively condiments, we put drinks and fruit in there too, and the freezer has its own situation. But we have what I suppose would be a breakfast nook if we were into that sort of thing, and an extra fridge after moving in, and the aforementioned condiment addiction, so one thing led to another…
lmao, I love the labels. This is hilariously awesome
that’s why they have shelves in the doors. also, why is the syrup in the fridge?
Why would you look at this and not understand the door shelves are full too?
Syrup lasts longer in the fridge, particularly real maple syrup. It can get mold growing on it.
why would you look at this and not understand that there is likely some expired or never used product that could be thrown out to make room in the door shelves?
That’s not what we’re debating. Don’t change the subject.
Change the subject? I just gave you back what you gave me you weirdo
If you look closely, you’ll see that syrup is structural, load bearing syrup. That’s why it’s in the fridge.
My fridge is full of load bearing pickle jars with no pickles only brine from that one time I made pickles like 4 years ago lol
I put my condiments in the veggie drawers and my veggies on the shelves, lol. Can more easily see what I still have and if it’s going bad. Too many goopy cilantro or zucchini experiences
That remind me. I need to clean out my refrigerator tonight.
Omg a clutterbug raised a clutter bug?!?!
Peanut butter, syrup don’t need to be refrigerated. Pizza sauce left overs saved, but it’ll be trash b4 you mage another pizza. I could go on, but i don’t care enough
Everything goes in the fridge when you have ants.
Peanut butter and syrup should need refrigerating - only the preservative laden crap is shelf stable (which admittedly, is what is pictured).
Pizza sauce freezes very well in silicone cubes.
Absolutely incorrect on all fronts here.
In what way? Natural peanut butter requires refrigeration, as does any peanut butter you make at home. Maple syrup requires refrigeration. And pizza sauce is perfectly usable after freezing.
I used to not refrigerate my syrup. However, that changed when I found a scoby growing in it one day. And some people refrigerate natural peanut butter so that the oil doesn’t separate.
Crazy take on my party: syrup is pure sugar. You dont need to keep it that long. Have a taste and throw it out quickly.
It has no health benefits, besides gluttonous non-nutritional calories. A dandelion from the sidewalk is healthier for you.
Itll literally kill your boner and take your limbs given time.
But sometimes I just like to argue
Syrup does.
Evwn the label says to do it after opening.Else it could develoo mold. And maple syrup is expensive in Europe.
That’s not maple syrup. That’s American syrup-like product
Maple syrup should be refrigerated even more than sugar syrup.
to all the folks complaining about dry pizza.
skillet, 1 shot glass of water, two slices of pizza, over medium heat. cover it.
boom, fresh as delivery.
Steamed pizza. Cursed.
I guess I should have mentioned to uncover it and cook it normally to crisp.
Only steam it to soften. Then bake as normal.
The only thing I see wrong here is that she is eating dominos.
Tbf their large carry out 7.99 deal is one of the best price points in fast food rn sadly
Slop is cheap.
Sometimes it’s a slop eating kinda day.
Have you seen Taco Bells prices recently?
No, I can’t say that I have.
With the context of the previous post, surely it’s genetic. Did she inherit this trait from Mom or Dad?
