This will so be my husband after retirement--or, as he calls, it, after he no longer has a job and can focus all his attention on improving me.
He told me that alphabetizing the spices would be more efficient than my system (same as yours, more or less) so I told him to have at it. He found it REALLY annoying that all the bottles and cans are not the same sizes or shapes or, really, anything, and so don't fit in neat rows with the labels all facing outward, which is how they work in his mind.
He also sometimes advises me on laundry. He has never done laundry. He told me that I should be operating the machines efficiently; apparently I was too dim to understand that when two machines have cycles that run at the same time, there is an efficient way to manage their operation. When I informed him that the washer and dryer do NOT cycle at the same time or anywhere close to it, he thought I was mistaken and has quizzed at least five other people to find out if this is true. He was amazed to find that yes, indeed, washing and drying cycles are quite different. He still finds it shocking that two machines that do the same job do not work exactly the same way. When I point out that washing and drying are actually quite different things, he gets very exasperated and says "But it's all laundry!"
I also don't cook efficiently. He doesn't cook, either, but he has a great deal of advice on how I should do things. You don't want to know.
We have reached three conclusions from all this:
1. He is not allowed to retire, ever.
2. The world is an inefficient place in which manufacturers create insanely inefficient products.
3. He needs a hobby--one that does not involve me.
It might be possible that all three things could work together to the benefit of all.
The look on
this woman's face when her husband says he thinks he likes helping around the house? Yeah.
It's too bad he doesn't have an account here so he could do his own post.
