My husband is washing a paper plate.
He makes pretty good money, and he's downstairs washing a paper plate so he can reuse it. Not a PLASTIC plate, mind you; a PAPER plate. :eyes:

4. That's hysterical
My hubby has a thing about re-using baggies and twist ties. The funny part is, he'll throw away a twenty dollar steak without blinking an eye but gets very upset if I fail to reuse a fraction-of-a-cent baggie.

8. Actually they don't in landfills
even without a plastic covering. There is no sun or water to speed along the composting.

9. Go downstairs, walk up really sexy like, giving him your seduction look...

Then slap the shit out of him upside his head. DO NOT let him become Skip's Grandmother. She washes Paper Towels and reuses them!! Good GOD! I feel sorry for you. Does he make sure you push the tube of toothpaste from the bottom too? :rofl:

10. I still can't believe the penny-pinching I've done after my GF moved in!
Started buying macho-wipe (the 100-grit toilet paper), with a couple single-rolls of quilted for her. Her lunch/dinner still consisted of nice meals, while mine turned into ramen and rice.

Sorry, I kinda' simpathize with the Mister, right now. :p

J/K!

Eventually, us male peasants adapt to being married to princesses like you and my g/. :p

over and over until they leak.

13. my mom irons undershirts
I wear a lot of t-shirts that she ironed way back when I lived at home, but also the white undershirts that I'd wear under my dress shirts!

14. My Dad does that before he throws it away
He doesn't want insects in his garbage cans. :eyes: I take great pleasure sneaking garbage into the trash.

15. It just keeps getting better and better
I threw the washed paper plate away last night. He just announced that he dug it out of the trash and that I will see that it can be reused. Is there no hope for this man??
