Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

I've been considered by many as a bit of a "neat freak" and my house HAS to be in order and tidied up before we leave to go somewhere and when we go to bed at night. I can NOT.....will NOT tolerate dishes being in the sink. I HATE that!!!

I DETEST dirty dishes being left in the sink, or crumbs on the countertops, especially overnight. For one thing, it draws roaches. Dear wife does NOT deal with roaches and will hop up on a chair if she spots one on the floor, and will commence to screaming for me to "COME GET THIS DAMNED NASTY ROACH!!!". I have my house professionally sprayed every month, and have had since I first bought this house nearly 11 years ago. We do NOT have roaches and I intend to keep it that way!! So dirty dishes are promptly rinsed and put in the dishwasher and the counter tops and kitchen sink are wiped down and dried each evening.

I'm so very happy that dear wife and I are very much on the same page with tidiness and good order. We both do chores around here, now that I'm retired, and our home is always in order and spic 'n span. Anything else would drive us both the the drink!!! LOL

There's NO excuse for nastiness, in our books. If you've got the energy to mess it up, you're going to damned sure FIND the energy to clean it up.
