Last month I grabbed supplies to do the finishing touches on the house before we list it. Nothing huge but around $100 in spackle, sponges, brushes, and other assorted supplies. It sat in the same spot for weeks without moving. Life happened with family getting hospitalized for 2 weeks and other assorted issues but today is a day off and the grandparents took the kiddie for a few hours.


Start working, get everything set, go to grab the supplies... MISSING. Searched the whole house and shed, nothing. Now I need to go back to HD, spend money again because I won't have another day to do this, only to probably have my wife come home and be like "I moved it to this random completely arbitrary and out of the way place no one would look. Or I threw it out on accident."

You're clearly not drinking heavily enough, or this wouldn't bother you.

Why not call or text her before buying more?

I know all these people are saying to call or text but this shit is infuriating for me too. Happens all the time, then I ask and its deer in headlights look followed by I didnt move that or haven't seen it. I dont care if im a dick or high strung but I put a lock on my "tool room" in the basement and just lock all my shit in there. It still happens from time to time with daily items. For instance contact solution and toothbrush is all of a sudden MIA, ask where they are, she didnt move them, find them in the closet in a drawer and a "ohh I cleaned the sink and put them in there"... What the holy motherfuck that shit makes me rage on the inside.

Sounds like your wife is cleaning up your piles left around the house. Maybe you are angry at your self for not being more organized.

I would have put the shit up somewhere too instead of letting it lay around for 2 weeks.

I'm very lucky. My wife won't mess with stuff because she wants the repairs done and son-in-law doesn't know which end of a screwdriver to pick up.

It's your fault for not training her better. You don't want your shit fucked with? Tell her. You want her to tell you when she moves your painting shit off the couch after two weeks? Tell her that. She doesn't do it, beat her or eject. You didn't fix this shit before you agreed to marry her and now you have to live with the woman you failed to train.

I've found that moving their shit randomly doesn't work either.
They just think the house is haunted.

I don't leave stuff all over the house anyway but....
After 25+ years of marriage, I learned to hide important stuff in the garage or
the gun safe if want it to be in the same place I left it.

What is wrong with people........

If it's not yours, leave it the fuck alone!

I have a designated area that if my piles sit for longer than the wife can take it, she can put them in the designated Ridgerunner pile place.

That way when shit ain't where I put it, I know where to look.

I know this is a little tongue in cheek but there's a lot of truth to it.

You can't accept something in the beginning and then get pissed with that behavior continues.

Makes things run smoothly.

She doesn't get frustrated and I don't get annoyed and I know where the stuff is and she can have a non cluttered house.


I swear. If I tell you I'll get something done, you don't need to remind me every six months about it.

I love how my belongings end up somewhere I would never put them . . . and my wife claims she hasn't even seen the item(s) to which I am referring.

Fucking GD.


Texted her, no calls because she is probably in with patients, and her response was "No idea." Thanks, didn't realize we needed to go through the obvious.

Re-bought everything. Tape lines redone. Ceiling is 1/3rd repainted. I have to say I bought that "suck up the paint" roller and it is a fuck ton better then going up and down a ladder.

Save the receipt if you bought the exact same stuff because the old stuff will show up as soon as you're done. Then you can take that stuff back.

I've had to do this recently.

How did your wife move a tub of spackle? Was it one or five gallon

Floating away supplies and tools happens to me too.
Makes me crazy - or at least think that I lost my mind. And she bats her eyes and says something like 'oh everyone knows to look in the bottom bureau drawer for the claw hammer." And honest to God's truth, the screwdrivers and pliers are in the second drawer of the filing cabinet!
No wonder women can't fix things - they have no idea where to put the tools!

Yep. And when I am up a ladder 12 feet up doing a vaulted ceiling that is annoying to stop, paint up, roll, stop, paint up, roll. This worked really well and saved a lot of time and went on a lot cleaner then the drips I inevitably get. The cleanup sucks though.

I recommend for ceiling or big wall jobs. The only bad thing is that when it is first loaded the handle is long so doing the spot right above you is cumbersome.

Elastic spackle sucks. I hope I never need to use it again.
