Refrigerator Etiquette.

Honestly I’m not sure how it works, but whenever I spill something I just leave it there and when I come back later it’s gone. I’ll have to ask my wife where she got it.

Probably the same place as automatic toilet paper roll filler.

As long as it puts the rolls in so they unwind from the top, the RIGHT way (ducks & runs)

5. If it’s green, it’s probably bad. You’d have noticed it if you didn’t violate rule #1.

So I’ll just toss all the lettuce, broccoli, cucumbers, peas…

I agree with you on everything except this. Spoiled milk is an excellent substitute for buttermilk. Makes excellent cakes, biscuits, etc.

Seriously? The very thought makes me retch.

Seriously?

[Cap_n_Obvious]

Yes, seriously. Everyone in my family uses soured milk in place of buttermilk.

edit Let me add that I meant for cooking only. I don’t suggest drinking soured milk. Of course I don’t suggest drinking regular butter milk either.

Seriously. One of my granny’s biggest complaints when she had to start having a care worker in a couple of times a week was that the carer kept throwing away the sour milk she used for soda bread. Meanwhile the carer was calling my dad to say that she thought my granny was starting with dementia because she kept “forgetting” her milk and not throwing it away when it went bad.

Soured milk is not the same as spoiled milk. Pasteurized milk sold in the US doesn’t sour in a usable way spoiled v sour milk

12. Don’t put short things on tall shelves. :mad:

I don’t know if this happens in your house (but I suspect it does) - there isn’t some magic that makes one person able to see what is in the fridge so that everyone else has to just ask them - use your own eyes, and if you have to, move stuff aside and LOOK in there! I swear, it’s not magic! Most containers have a label on them that tells you what’s in it; if not, open the container and look inside.

Actually you’re wrong.

It’s been scientifically proven that boobies imbue the owner with the ability to more easily find things in a crowded fridge. So it only stands to reason that if I can’t see it - I ask her with the boobies.

Sort of reasonable in a non-binding way though someone’s water would seem to have as much right as your beer and pizza usually does not stick around long and re-wrapping it is wasteful and messy, so I’m all for just putting the box in the fridge, especially if the pizza was ordered late light - you want to make things easy at that hour, so just put the box in the fridge, no mess, no looking for wrapping material.

NO NO NO - beer always takes priority over water in a fridge. That’s one of the unmutable laws of fridgedom. That can no more be trifled with than can freedom of speech.

As to Pizza - meh, no space in the fridge then put it in the oven.

I dunno about that. My granny just used to get an extra pint of ordinary milk from the milkman once or twice a week to leave to sour for the bread, which never killed anyone and always tasted fantastic.

I’ve gotta agree with Roseanne on this one: “The uterus is not a tracking device!” You’ve got eyes; Lord knows you use 'em to stare at boobies often enough. Use 'em to find your own ketchup already.

HAH! We’ve solved the “automatic toilet paper roll filler” in my house - I put 'em in the right way, and my husband puts 'em in the wrong way, so the person who changes the roll gets to choose.

Our TP holder is just a rod that’s open at one end. Each user can orient the roll however he or she likes.
