Husband Clothes

I received a few photographs from a guy we’ll call “Jay.” He wanted to share his stock of “useful” containers. Before I go any further, I’m going to post Jay’s photos here:

Now that you’ve seen them, my first question is: Do these containers look useful to you? My initial thought was “Oh, those look like babyfood jars.” It’s always a pity to toss glass babyfood jars because they do seem like they should be useful for something, but really, they’re not. Not even at all–this is pretty indisputable, no? Especially these babyfood jars, as they are great in number, yet all are empty. Read Jay’s exact words:

“Here’s a couple shots of my useful containers. As you can see, when they’re in a box, it may be hard to tell them from junk. But if you pull them out and organize them, you can plainly see that I have a system, and I have carefully amassed a collection of containers based on important attributes that make them really useful.

Also, these pictures don’t show the useful containers that are already filled with interesting or useful stuff. Of course, I suppose when they’re filled they’re no longer useful.”

Let’s discuss this for a moment. Did anyone catch that last sentence? Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Did Jay just say that the containers become useless when they actually store stuff? I am so confused, I’m not really sure what questions to ask to clear this up. Also, I wonder what “attributes” Jay meant by “attributes that make the containers really useful.” I mean, I see that they have attributes like big, small, see-through, plastic, etc. Uh, I’m just not clear on how the attributes transform them from junk into necessities. Maybe I should ask Jay’s wife. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one.

No seriously, I am sure she’s really thankful that Jay is storing these containers, especially the eight or nine HUGE coffee containers–because she knows they’ll be available the moment she’s in a pinch. I am sure that she isn’t at all concerned about the space they take up, or how they look really messy, or how Jay is kind of a packrat (because he obviously IS NOT a packrat in any way, shape, or form).

In case you need containers, here is a link to Home Visions–they have STORAGE solutions, as well as MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS on sale right now:

I have gotten some of the funniest emails, comments (with posts), and photos this month EVER. Thank you so much–both guys and girls, readers of this site have a great sense of humor!

The site has had 8,500 views over the last 30 days. I didn’t know so many people would share my perspective, but humor really is so much funner than whining and being upset:)

I can’t wait to post your photos. Please keep them coming!

Hi, a few ladies have e-mailed me asking if they can send photos of problems their husbands or boyfriends create. YES, I love those, and they get a lot of views! I don’t post names or faces. (Even if you want me to, I can’t–have to avoid emails from angry husbands :).

Send anything you find funny. These topics get lots of views: 1) ugly or strange clothes 2) bad grooming 3) other types of messes 4) tricks or inventions. Here are examples of guest posts: Unacceptable Dress Shoes and Boyfriend Takes Charge of Trash.

To send them, use the “E-mail Me” link to the right. Along with the photo, please provide an explanation of what is shown and why it annoys or amuses you. (Please, no photos of body parts, thongs, or things like this, though I am sure they are wildly hilarious.) Note to guys: Yes, you can also send photos of your own clothes and stuff–I know that the stranger they are, the more urgently you want to show them off. That’s why I’m here.

PS. Good Shutterfly coupon here. I love using them for gifts made from photos–my personal favorite, and one I would LOVE for Mother’s Day (and what my mother may receive) is the mug with a photo, plus it’s full of Ghirardelli chocolate. To see it, click the coupon and go under Photo Gifts. Price:$20 ($15 with this coupon! SCORE.) You can email me if you have questions about using the Shutterfly site–I’m an expert.
