I've known for years that the dishwasher has a magentic force field around it which prevents my husband from putting dishes into it, as opposed to on top of it. I've learned to deal with it and sympathise with what must be a hugely frustrating phenomenon for my DH...
However, apparently the dishwasher, which sits opposite our fridge, has started to project it's magnectic force field over to the fridge. Weirdly, it allows my husband to open the fridge and get things out (particularly beer). But it seems to prevent him from putting anything back. Particularly things like milk, butter, creamy salad dressing etc which are likely to go off in the heat.
When he does manage to use his superhuman strength and breakthrough the force field to put something back in the fridge, he is just such a bloke about it. Last night I asked him to please put the left over salad back in the fridge. So instead of putting the tupperware lid back on top of salad, he just leaves the tupperware open with the salad exposed with the serving spoon still in it. Because as you know, having a chilled serving spoon is critical.
God, why are they so useless about things like this??
