Those darned coke cans

I'm so SICK of dh not taking care of his own coke cans! I don't mind squashing them down for him because he doesn't squash them small enough..

BUT would it kill him to just dump out what's left in the can and EMPTY the bag of empty cans when it's full!?

HOW many times do I need to tell him that it needs to get taken out? Today when I opened the cupboard door, they all came spilling out on my leg!

Of course there is the same old complaint of him opening a whole 12 oz CAN and sipping ONCE from it and letting the rest waste a way! 33 cents a sip is pretty darn expensive!

Maybe you can stop buying it for him. Hey at .33 cents a sip, you could buy very, very good wine or a very nice dinner out even AFTER paying for the sitter!

Well not buying it for him is out of the question..he is as addicted to coke as he is to ciggarettes unfortunatly

I would take them out but he says he's the only one who 'knows' where to put them in the storage out back..but grr these red coke cans become quite the 'eye sore'.

But heck I can't complain too much I am the one who leaves coupons out all the time ...hmm maybe I'll tell him I'll clean up my coupons AFTER he takes out his cans

We recycle cans here too- and you know how there's always a tiny sip leftover inside the can? I simply go to the sink and shake it out and put it in the plastic bag. DH doesn't, so I always have sticky spots around the garbage can where I leave the bag of cans. I guess when you're not the one washing the floor- or in your case taking out the cans, who cares if you have to pick up every can everytime you go under the sink. Grrr!!!!!
