To put my wife’s peanut butter in the fridge

I want to preface by saying that me and my wife both pick up after each other a fair bit, we aren’t the tidiest but certainly not the messiest couple and we find each one fixing the problems we see works better than nagging each other for missing this and that.

I recently switched from brown source to mayonnaise and I do sometimes leave it out on the counter. I couldn’t find it and my wife had put it in the cupboard not the fridge when tidying up.

I mentioned that it goes in the fridge not the cupboard and she joked that I should put it away myself.

All light hearted, no fighting but over the last couple of weeks it’s happened and I’ve mentioned it about four times and it’s happened again and I’m not sure how to mention it again without seeming like I’m nagging.

also every morning she forgets to put the peanut butter away and I put it in the cupboard before I get my breakfast. It just happens in our current routine that she has breakfast first and we don’t share, not perfect but is what it is.

Anyway this morning I decided to put her peanut butter on the fridge instead of the cupboard, I’m hoping she’ll find it funny and when she next seas mayonnaise remember the peanut butter and put it in the fridge.

however I’m worried it might come across as petty, we don’t really do practical jokes or pranks.

Do you two think I should bin her peanut butter? Obviously I wouldn’t but I’m just curious

Is it a man?

Not sure but my money is on a same-sex couple, I don’t think blokes worry about things like this. I doubt they even notice!

12 hours ago? You can’t just turn being a man on and off? Is it a gender fluid thing you mean?

Eh?
He answered a question 12 hours ago and said he was a man. He is still a man now

It sounds like you both need to grow up! How about you take responsibility for your own shit if. Waaaay too much time on your hands.
