Your Personality, Explained by Your Annoying Household Habits

Tragically, I’m EVERY one of these domestic disasters, except the one about leaving the last bite or sip.

If there’s one thing I’ll commit to, it’s finishing the fucking juice. I may be emotionally stunted and rotting like a cold Tupperware lasagna, but at least I don’t leave a lonely teaspoon of pudding behind like a psycho.

I’m the unopened mail procrastinator. No other sins though (among those listed)

Does stacking up issue after issue of “The New Yorker” on your table and swearing you’ll get to them but you never do count?

I'll admit to the "“Mopping” with Your Foot and a Clorox Wipe". I have a small apartment kitchen, and bringing out a mop seems to take longer than just wiping with a wet-wipe. (gets slippery, though).

Will also admit to "Letting Unopened Mail Pile Up". But, I do look at the envelope first to make sure there's not a jury duty notice or a bill or something actually important.

Would it kill you to wipe the counter of crumbs after buttering your toast?

I'm guilty of none of those things.

I am, however, guilty of:

Keeping the kitchen in state of perpetual order. Only in the process of preparing food are the counters disorganized or unclean.

Anything that can go in the dishwasher does go there, immediately, no intermediate stage if sitting about

Dirty things that don't go in the dishwasher get washed very soon after they are soiled.

Countertops, stove tops are organized and sinks and surfaces spotless when I'm not eyeball deep in cooking.

I hate unresolved things fitting about so I open mail immediately (admittedly a rare occasion to receive any) and usually make a payment or a call as needed straight away and add a note to the calendar if it's an appointment, etc. I hate touching the same thing a dozen times before taking action on it; better to be done with it sooner than later

Except for work surfaces, china, glassware, and utensils, I'm more orderly than I am clean. The sink will be spotless but not the kitchen floor, for example.

I can't stand stand stacked dirty dishes, etc. or things sitting about that could better be sitting in the dishwasher waiting for a clean.

I'm attentive to expiry dates and make frequent purges of questionable things

Jeez did you read this thread in a mirror, or are you that backwards. Your post is not the point.

Mopping with the foot. The leftovers but I tend to freeze them, sometimes for over a year.

I’m the leaver behind of that one last sip of juice. Have y’all seen those gross, final grapes at the bottom of the bag?! Ewww!
