We no longer use our in fridge ice maker, so ice trays must be filled if we want ice and we do!
Whenever I use up the last cubes in the ice container I refill it by cracking into it one or both ice cube trays. Do I leave the empty trays on the counter? No. I refill with water and put it in the freezer.
And on occasion what do I hear from the spousal unit? You’re over/ under filling the trays. And what does he do after cracking an ice cube tray, leaves the empty tray on the gdmf counter.
One evening as I entered the kitchen to prep for dinner I saw the empty tray. I tossed the tray away onto the floor just whacked it out of my way.
The SU found it asked how did it get over here? It was in my way mf er! Refill the gd trays!
50/50 but he no longer critiques my ice cube tray filling skills either.
