    Huge F*7%ing Waste!

    I go out into the garage to get something out of the freezer to make a special 'Welcome Home' dinner last night, open it up, and get hit with a waft of stink, and warm air.

    start tracing the cords back, and find the extension cord that USED TO plug it in, is gone. The cord that had a huge tag on it, "FREEZER _ DO NOT UNPLUG" Seems the wife wanted to plug her car in about a month ago, and rather than using the outlet directly in front of her car, she unplugged the freezer, dug the cord out from everything I had strategically on top of it, so it wouldn't come accidentally unplugged, and used it.

    Then the next day, she took it.

    So at least the top foot was completely thawed. below that was still partially frozen, and I imagine the bottom foot is a soup from all the water/fluids that dripped.

    Tonight, I have the great pleasure of going home and throwing away several hundred pounds of food.

    At least I can use some of it for bear bait.

    Let it slide for now.
    This will be an excellent comeback for the inevitable future perceived wrongdoing on your part.

    She puts up with a lot with me (if you can imagine) so I'm not ready to trade her in just yet. I just wish I could understand her mindset on something like this, to avoid followups

    *sigh*

    Reminds me of a time a few years ago when my wife decided to blow her top and yell at me for absolutely no reason, ill not get into details. I calmly looked at her and said, "your lucky its 2010 and not 1910". She gave me a confused look and said why and i replied, "because i would take my belt off and whip your ass with it". She got the point.

    Fyi, i do not condone domestic violence and have never hit my wife. But there are times when the primal urge becomes hard to control.

    They make little plastic loops with a nail preset in them for tying coax cable/wiring down to framing, it'll fit over an extension cord, and it isn't hard to remove them, you may want to get a pack of those, and literally nail the cord down to prevent future use for other purposes.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    My husband's "welcome home" would be a stinking garage and freezer to clean, if that happened to me.
    I have had my nephews forget to close the fridge or freezer before and ruin a lot of food. It sucks.
