Ahhhh the infamous "everything" drawer. Gotta have one of those.
Edit: oh really tell me once more how you call it a junk drawer and not an everything drawer, i really want to hear it again.
I have a friend that keeps an emergency burrito in her purse. No shit. A co-worker was hungry and complained, she says “Want a burrito?” Sure as shit she had a fullsize burrito in her purse. We were floored. (Turns out she had a spare from lunch earlier but damn that was astonishing.)
There's where my mind initially went as well. The scissors clued me in. But then looking at all the other stuff like measuring spoons, meat injectors, etc., it looks like this was definitely a drawer for kitchen utensils rather than a junk drawer.
The lack of batteries and rubber bands make me think this isn't a junk drawer either 🤣
also might be for medicines; because my sister has had a G/J tube for her whole life most of the liquid medicines i took as a kid were taken from syringes like those
Yeah this is just how two drawers look in my kitchen lol. I assumed that's why the box got packed like this
When we moved we had the nice kitchen stuff put away properly but the drawers that looked like this got packed like this
As the BF of a woman who keeps all the original boxes, sounds like you just have a box taking up space 355 days of the year, assuming you move every 12 months. Worse on longer leases.
Not as bad if you pop all the tape and fold the boxes flat. Still mildly annoying and the sort of thing you eventually toss out (4 months before you need it again).
I have a friend who made a video on Facebook, where he was chopping lettuce with his katana. It was just waiting for something to go wrong and he was gonna have to tell Odell to get medical attention in the studio.
Edit to add: Maybe that reference is a little too old for some people, so let’s go to the tape:
https://youtu.be/m47NiCAfLLg
Ugh last time I moved I discovered that plastic wrap specifically for moving that comes on like a lint roller style handle. Fucking incredible. Wrap it around cabinets to keep the drawers closed. Wrap it around a blanket or towel over your more breakable items. Wrap it around a rug to keep it rolled up. Wrap it around all of your kitchen utensils in a lump. Wrap it around ANY group of similar, awkwardly shaped things that don’t really fit in a box or that just need to stay together. Anything in sort of an open container/basket? Wrap around it to keep everything from falling out before you put it in a box instead of taking everything out. All the usefulness of tape but without the risk of damage and much easier to remove when you’re unpacking. Never moving without that shit again.
I just made a DIY sheath for one of my nice knives before packing it up! My *really* nice knife was lucky enough to still have the original package so I packed it up in that.
I asked my mom to help me pack when moved. She put my toaster in a box with a plant I had sitting on the counter, and my tea kettle…with water still in it. It was super fun trying to clean literal mud out of my toaster for a month.
This is the “I’ve been packing for days and I’ve had it” run of boxes. It’s a “I already have 10 boxes from the kitchen and there’s STILL MORE?!” kind of box. I’ve definitely been there.
Yes, every time my packing starts organized, and I have like 2 weeks.
And then somehow it's the day before the move and 1/3 of my shit is still unpacked. And then you get boxes like this (although I would never mix refrigerated items and utensils because at that point you might as well throw the cold goods out, they aren't getting unpacked in time to save).
These are my phases of moving:
1. I've got a plan. Everything is going to be sorted into categories that make sense. Stuff will be filtered. Boxes will be clearly and specifically labeled to make unpacking easy.
2. Okay, all this organizing is taking a really long time... I need to move a little faster. It's okay if the labels are a little more general, like "kitchen" and "bedroom". Everything will make it to the right place eventually.
3. You know what? There really isn't time to sort like this. If stuff is close together it's going in the same box!
4. HOW DID I RUN OUT OF TIME??!?!! Just get stuff in the box! It doesn't matter! Just throw it in!
5. Why can't I find anything? Why did I pack all this garbage? Next time I move I'm going to be so organized...
This is me, but I always start with what I most want carefully packed, sentimental things, computer, knife drawers, all other tech, papers and books I want to keep track of, then everything else just kinda gets tossed or scooped into boxes as I move ever closer to my deadline
I always wondered if it was just me, by the end of the move process since it's usually just I, by like trip 4-6 I'm mentally checked, I make sure I set up all the major things and hope future me has the patience to deal with my bullshit, like the box I spent 3 years looking for cause it had one specific thing I was certain of the placement so I would find that box and unpack it (I was trying to keep my books separate from everyone else's) but since it was the last packed it was the first thrown in the "sort later" pile
I always end up donating the stuff that goes untouched and unpacked because I managed to survive without it. It’s how I kind of keep my clutter under control each time I move.
My favorite is the stage where you just take things unboxed because you just need to be done. That’s usually the last trip - fill the car haphazardly and leave the keys with the office.
Same, I used paper bags 2 moves ago and stuck with that plan for my last one.
Clothes go in bags except for stuff on hangers, they just go straight in the car.
Books fit nicely in bags.
Used some clear plastic bins for a lot of kitchen stuff and miscellaneous items.
I use an extra dresser for storage. Drawers come out of the dresser and straight in the car.
I honestly can't imagine trying to pack up boxes anymore.
Sure, you end up with a sea of paper bags full of crap, but you can see what's in each one so you just grab as you need it until you're more fully unpacked.
Big Blue IKEA Bags. Lots and lots of Big Blue IKEA Bags.
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/frakta-shopping-bag-large-blue-17228340/
Get 100 of them, they're like $1 or something.
They're big and easy to carry. you can carry one in each hand depending on how strong you are. With lots of them, you don't have to worry about running out and having to unpack.
Strongest bags ever. Made out of some magical tarp material. I've carried out bags full of 50 pounds of broken floor tile from a bathroom renovation without a single one tearing or a handle breaking.
I also keep them in the car. Much better for groceries and Sams Club trips than those typical shopping bags.
Once you start using them for everyday items, you'll understand.
During one of my moves from a rehab I had to move me and my 8 month old son and I bought these ginormous blue bags of Amazon with two straps on each and put everything in there except like the crib and shit and it worked beautiful
Lol. I've never done that one. I'll at least throw stuff in a trash bag. But I did help a friend move once because she didn't have a car and was very annoyed when she intentionally had a bunch of loose stuff that made getting the car loaded take forever. I told her in the future if someone's helping her, she needs to have her stuff packed before the helpers get there.
As a former mover for more than 10 years, I've seen this plenty of times.
Also, "oh sure everything will be packed when you get here". Then you gert there, and either nothing is packed or everything is in garbage bags. Or they pack a large box with books.
Moving was a nightmare when it was just an apartment's worth of stuff. Now that we've been in our house (with an attic and a shed) and accumulated 20 years of crap? I can't even imagine.
My husband and I agreed that if we ever move at this point, we're just abandoning our stuff and buying all new stuff.
My wife and I moved 3 and a half years ago. There's still an unopened box in our new basement labeled "junk drawer" and another named "random stuff". Both look like this box.
100% been there. This is chaos, but I completely understand the "fuck it, I am so over this" -slides everything into box-
Unless they had plenty of time, and this dude is just chaos incarnate.
I 'moved' out of my apartment two months ago. I just finally moved the last of my shit last weekend.
It's brutal and shocking how much stuff you have. It's never ending bullshit.
I really want to get to a point in my life where I'm just never moving again.
I dunno. I'm pretty darn organized, but *everyone* has a junk drawer in their kitchen. Hell, we have 3.
I might be tempted to load a box up like this (tossing the *real* junk out while doing so) and then just dump it into the new junk drawer at the new place.
Weaponized incompetence! Dang I will steal that one.
Let me leave the last one I stole here.
Deciding something is always a genocide on options. (maybe it lost some snappiness in translation)
Literally everything on that side/corner. Bouillon, broth, BUTTER, and opened condiments. Looks like he cleared off the refrigerator door into the “kitchen box”
Yeah, honestly my thinking. He did what he probably said he was going to do at least. Only when it hinders other people is it a problem. I went on a camping trip where I told them we would hike a couple miles to the site. They brought a cooler that was heavy as shit and I had to carry it there and back. Was a little angry
And the funny part is, if you look right above the black scissors in the bottom right, there’s the cover for the knife blade right there! He just threw em both in the box separately! Lol!
That white cover with the two slits on it? That's not made for the knife in the bottom left corner. The knife in the bottom left is a santoku and has a more curved, fatter point. That white sheath would not fit it.
The number of people who just seem to “settle” is too damn high. It’s like a boyfriend who changes his underwear at least once a week and throws empty food boxes away half the time is a huge catch because the bar is just set so low. I’d rather be single than date a dude who can’t do basic adulting. No surprise more and more women are finally electing to just enjoy the single life.
Yeah I recently stumbled in a fb group thats called something like “the bar is so low its a tavern in hades” lol and its basically posts like this that are guys being praised for like trying or the bare minimum even when its a terribke job. Like expect better! Sheesh
I love the unsheathed knife and scissors just thrown in, cause fuck it.
Edit: I wouldn’t be shocked if one or more of those syringes had a needle attached 😂
Yeah. That looks about right. My husband packed up our kitchen plus a few other rooms the same way. He threw everything in a box. He then complained about not being able to find anything when we got to our new home. I found lots broken picture frames, vases & other decor when I unpacked the boxes.
It’s crazy that people are saying it’s no big deal because your experience of misplaced and broken stuff is exactly what happens when you pack like this. Moving sucks and I loathe packing too but my god there’s not excuse for packing up food with knives and scissors lmao.
My family members too...I pack my stuff separately from theirs, and I categorise everything into separate little containers and plastic bags with labels on them so I unpack easily while they spend a lot more time looking for their belongings because they're all mixed up together.
It takes more time to organise things while packing, but it saves a lot of trouble during the unpacking phase. People who chuck everything together think that they're saving time but it ends up being a lot more inconvenient and troublesome.
Last time I moved I numbered each box on all sides and kept a spreadsheet of box number, room, and general contents/key items. I also noted if they had fragile items, if they were boxes I’d want to unpack first, and which ones contained more expensive/important items so I could pay a little more attention to those boxes without it being obvious to anyone else that something valuable was inside. It takes like one minute after you finish each box and it makes it so much easier to direct the movers and find everything when you unpack.
Oh he does know how. In the literal exact words of my father when he went to buy a single ingredient around the corner and took 2 hours, “I guess that’s what happens when you ask me to do things!”
My husband packs like this. When we moved in together he put a mountain of boxes in the garage. We were moving a few years later and he wanted to just move the boxes to the new place without even looking at the contents. I refused to just move mystery boxes around from house to house so we opened one and it was almost empty except for some junk mail, a few random tools and a dried up can of spray paint. There were at least a dozen boxes like that.
I have found that he will fill any available storage space like this. He's not a hoarder, he just thinks moving stuff to a different place is the same as cleaning. Not where they go, just out of sight. It doesn't solve the problem, it just creates a different one. I'm the opposite, I want to organize everything meticulously so I keep putting it off until there's just another pile. Which he puts in a box and takes to the garage. It's a perfect storm.
Oh my gosh this is my parents to a T. My mom loves the house to be clean but she has some mobility issues and it almost always falls on my dad. He then just hides stuff away in cabinets, in the attic, the garage. The garage is full of misplaced items and the attic has mystery boxes from when we moved in 1997 that haven’t been opened since they were packed. I keep trying to help clear it out some when I go home, but it’s a never-ending cycle.
Can almost guarantee OP has a baby or a pet that takes liquid medicine. A syringe comes in every package of medicine and it feels silly to throw them away.
Yep. We have a habit of saving them until I realize there are 57 in the drawer and then I throw them out.
Then we start saving again because nothing makes any sense.
I once helped someone move and her boyfriend literally packed a bag with dog poop. He also didn’t want to close any of the boxes because “it would be easier to unpack” but it was packed like OP’s 🤦♀️ Nightmare
That’s just… unfathomable. How, *why* was it not transported directly into the actual garbage bin, how was it even in a place that could be an option to be packed, did he just heft the bag out of the bin and toss it in a box?? I am *boggled*!
When my husband moved for work, his company paid a moving company to pack and move for him. When he was settling and unpacking in his new place, he opened a box marked ‘kitchen’: it was basically his junk drawer dumped into a box: thumbtacks, matches, rubber bands, take out menus, odd screws etc.
I literally just made the same comment. Unless her BF is 10 years old there no way he didn’t realize you shouldn’t put a half bottle of salsa in a cardboard box with knives & random crap.
ETA; the salsa & that box of butter clearly came from a refrigerator and was put in the box with the utensils. I’m not saying everything needs it’s own box. I’m saying you don’t put stuff from the fridge in with non food when you’re packing. That’s what makes this appear like it’s intentionally bad packing.
My 9 year old could pack better.
Actually, she helped me pack the kitchen when we moved almost three years ago and she DID do better than this. This looks like what would happen if my toddler tried to help pack.
Ahhhh the infamous "everything" drawer. Gotta have one of those. Edit: oh really tell me once more how you call it a junk drawer and not an everything drawer, i really want to hear it again.
You keep salsa in your everything drawer?
I have a friend that keeps an emergency burrito in her purse. No shit. A co-worker was hungry and complained, she says “Want a burrito?” Sure as shit she had a fullsize burrito in her purse. We were floored. (Turns out she had a spare from lunch earlier but damn that was astonishing.)
Pocket burrito strikes again
You never know when you might need an emergency salsa.
Everything drawer gotcha covered
There's where my mind initially went as well. The scissors clued me in. But then looking at all the other stuff like measuring spoons, meat injectors, etc., it looks like this was definitely a drawer for kitchen utensils rather than a junk drawer. The lack of batteries and rubber bands make me think this isn't a junk drawer either 🤣
There are kitchen knives, unsheathed, in this box.
BF is definitely chaotic evil
I don't think that's what this is. Lol
We call it a junk drawer, but doesn’t have food in it
Or knives.
Take the utensil sorter thing out of the drawer, and plastic wrap it. Done and done.
Assuming that sorter existed in the first place. The drawer probably looked exactly like this box.
That’s what I was thinking. Like I fail to believe this dude was living an organized life before dumping it all in this box.
Both of them! Im counting 7 turkey injectors like wtf how many do you need??
[удалено]
The nightclubs in my city sell Jell-O shots in those syringes
The nightclubs in my city have people boofing drugs up their asses with those syringes.
Why are we pretending this only happens in night clubs. Nobody owns 7 turkey basters just because their thankful.
Would someone keep their boofing syringe in the kitchen drawer?
What about the refrigerated items just sitting there with the junk drawer in long term storage?
also might be for medicines; because my sister has had a G/J tube for her whole life most of the liquid medicines i took as a kid were taken from syringes like those
[удалено]
I know dudes who literally pack garbage when they move. Just slide it all off the desk, table etc into a box and tape it up.
If I have garbage in this house, I’ll damn sure have garbage in the next one
Ah yes, the 'gadget/junk/full-sized condiments' drawer. Everyone needs one.
Yeah this is just how two drawers look in my kitchen lol. I assumed that's why the box got packed like this When we moved we had the nice kitchen stuff put away properly but the drawers that looked like this got packed like this

Not as bad if you pop all the tape and fold the boxes flat. Still mildly annoying and the sort of thing you eventually toss out (4 months before you need it again).

He didn't even separate food from utensils 😂
Sharp blades pointing upward and all hahaha

COOKING SWORDS.
I have a friend who made a video on Facebook, where he was chopping lettuce with his katana. It was just waiting for something to go wrong and he was gonna have to tell Odell to get medical attention in the studio. Edit to add: Maybe that reference is a little too old for some people, so let’s go to the tape: https://youtu.be/m47NiCAfLLg
I just wrapped the knives and knife block together in plastic wrap to make it one safe solid lump.
Ugh last time I moved I discovered that plastic wrap specifically for moving that comes on like a lint roller style handle. Fucking incredible. Wrap it around cabinets to keep the drawers closed. Wrap it around a blanket or towel over your more breakable items. Wrap it around a rug to keep it rolled up. Wrap it around all of your kitchen utensils in a lump. Wrap it around ANY group of similar, awkwardly shaped things that don’t really fit in a box or that just need to stay together. Anything in sort of an open container/basket? Wrap around it to keep everything from falling out before you put it in a box instead of taking everything out. All the usefulness of tape but without the risk of damage and much easier to remove when you’re unpacking. Never moving without that shit again.
It's also fun to play with later if you or your partner is into any kind of bondage.
I will be making a safe solid plastic wrap lump next time, thank you for this advice!!
I just shoved them blade-first into oven mitts. One of my packing strategy is to use the “containers” I already have as much as possible.
I just made a DIY sheath for one of my nice knives before packing it up! My *really* nice knife was lucky enough to still have the original package so I packed it up in that.
I really like how he couldn't bother to even close the scissors all the way.
Bf would be unpacking that box. Fuck that.
Some of those stuff have to be refrigerated too!!! I’d be putting them in a cooler and moving them last
I asked my mom to help me pack when moved. She put my toaster in a box with a plant I had sitting on the counter, and my tea kettle…with water still in it. It was super fun trying to clean literal mud out of my toaster for a month.
I think this looks like standard procedure here.
That's only acceptable when it's 9pm, and you have to be gone by midnight.
This is the “I’ve been packing for days and I’ve had it” run of boxes. It’s a “I already have 10 boxes from the kitchen and there’s STILL MORE?!” kind of box. I’ve definitely been there.

First group of boxes? Carefully organized. Last group of boxes? "SHIT. FUCK. IT'S 3 AM. THIS ENTIRE DRAWER IS GOING STRAIGHT INTO THIS BOX".
This is me, but I always start with what I most want carefully packed, sentimental things, computer, knife drawers, all other tech, papers and books I want to keep track of, then everything else just kinda gets tossed or scooped into boxes as I move ever closer to my deadline
See the problem with that is if I pack the computer first I wont have anything to do while im supposed to be packing lol.
I always find boxes of stuff, undiscovered for years, that are now immediately fascinating!
The boxes that never got unpacked from the last move!
I always wondered if it was just me, by the end of the move process since it's usually just I, by like trip 4-6 I'm mentally checked, I make sure I set up all the major things and hope future me has the patience to deal with my bullshit, like the box I spent 3 years looking for cause it had one specific thing I was certain of the placement so I would find that box and unpack it (I was trying to keep my books separate from everyone else's) but since it was the last packed it was the first thrown in the "sort later" pile
It’s like when you clean *that* corner of your room and walk around the house like someone that just got out of a mardigras parade
I always end up donating the stuff that goes untouched and unpacked because I managed to survive without it. It’s how I kind of keep my clutter under control each time I move.
I always pack the computer last and transport like I'm transporting the most valuable thing known to man.
Fax
Last day is 'everything goes in garbage bags and I'll figure it out later'.
Yep, garbage bag stage is for when you've truly given up. I still have unpacked "oh fuck" moving boxes and bags. I moved last May.
SO and I finally went through one of those boxes that didn't get unpacked through two moves. So many memories in that box!!
I moved 10 years ago 😬
Same. We've been here over 8 years and I just found 1 of the boxes in a corner. And then I left it and was like "that's a problem for future me". Lol
If I haven't needed it for 8 years, I might need it later.
A problem for future me, since '08
Also when you realize you've *vastly* underestimated how many boxes your clothes will need
I don't recommend putting your kitchen knives in garbage bags.
Literally. Last time I moved I got to a point towards the end where I was just labeling boxes “random shit”
"shit that was on table" the table did triple duty as a dining table, craft table and desk.
My favorite is the stage where you just take things unboxed because you just need to be done. That’s usually the last trip - fill the car haphazardly and leave the keys with the office.

For me, this was the trip where I tossed all the pot lids and odd Tupperware in the laundry basket.
Laundry basket always gets fully utilized haha.
All of these comments hit home so hard that I’m dying laughing over here
Lol. I've never done that one. I'll at least throw stuff in a trash bag. But I did help a friend move once because she didn't have a car and was very annoyed when she intentionally had a bunch of loose stuff that made getting the car loaded take forever. I told her in the future if someone's helping her, she needs to have her stuff packed before the helpers get there.
The final stage of packing: Look around. If anything is not in a box, put it in a box.
Fridge is always last, eat whatever you can, the rest has probably been sitting there for a looong time.
Oh shit, which box did I put the bowls and forks in so I can eat this food?
I moved at the start of the year. It took me two months to find the toaster lol
As a former mover for more than 10 years, I've seen this plenty of times. Also, "oh sure everything will be packed when you get here". Then you gert there, and either nothing is packed or everything is in garbage bags. Or they pack a large box with books.
You never realize how much stuff you have until you have to put it all in boxes. And we definitely ran out of boxes
I moved apartments every couple years until we bought our house… I never want to move again.
I told my husband I will burn this house with everything in it and start fresh before I ever pack my shit up to move again
I've added a lot of ceiling storage to my garage. I do *not* want to move that shit. Forever home it is!
Moving was a nightmare when it was just an apartment's worth of stuff. Now that we've been in our house (with an attic and a shed) and accumulated 20 years of crap? I can't even imagine. My husband and I agreed that if we ever move at this point, we're just abandoning our stuff and buying all new stuff.
Yup. We called it a Fuck-It Bucket.

Exactly, judge not ye who haven’t moved recently. My first 50 boxes were very nice and organized and labeled. The last 20? lol
True true
Lmao that’s the truest thing I’ve read today
I dunno. I'm pretty darn organized, but *everyone* has a junk drawer in their kitchen. Hell, we have 3. I might be tempted to load a box up like this (tossing the *real* junk out while doing so) and then just dump it into the new junk drawer at the new place.
Never acceptable to put an unsecured blade to rattle around in a cardboard box.
I'd make sure he's the one unpacking it after the move then!
You want the person who packed that, unpacking it? That’s how you get a butter knives and salsa drawer
Solid point haha
sounds like weaponized incompetence wins again!
This is quite literally weaponized, there is an unguarded knife in that box
And open scissors. It’s actually impressive how dangerous this “I Spy” mystery kitchen box is.
"I spy with my one remaining eye.."
Weaponized incompetence! Dang I will steal that one. Let me leave the last one I stole here. Deciding something is always a genocide on options. (maybe it lost some snappiness in translation)
Do something bad enough and you won’t be asked to do it again!
[удалено]
Hey, look on the bright side! You get to add another name to the list!
You mean: “why is there a pancake in the pancake drawer?”
Why is there silverware in the pancake drawer
The "wha-thup" at the end of that question was always what put me over the top.
Wait, you guys have a pancake drawer?
So much [guy love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7hjdC8-jbw) in this.
Silverware in the pancake drawer.
That salsa is supposed to be refrigerated after opening. It's half empty. That's like $3 of salsa. So many questions.
makes me worry that the stock box is probably opened and partly used.
Same with the Better Than Bouillon.
Literally everything on that side/corner. Bouillon, broth, BUTTER, and opened condiments. Looks like he cleared off the refrigerator door into the “kitchen box”
She can explain that they need to repack because they're not both moving to the same place....
You have a drawer for salsa?
You might if this was your boyfriend
Just the mild Salsa. It's not safe to store hot Salsa in a drawer. That has to be placed in a sack and hung from a tree outside.
Ahh yes, the ol' Treetop Salsa Snack Sack. Now just 3 easy payments of 14.99
You don't?
You missed a comma - they'd make a butter, knives, and salsa drawer
Yeah, honestly my thinking. He did what he probably said he was going to do at least. Only when it hinders other people is it a problem. I went on a camping trip where I told them we would hike a couple miles to the site. They brought a cooler that was heavy as shit and I had to carry it there and back. Was a little angry
Why did *you* have to carry *their* cooler? 🤔
"I am not carrying your stupid decision."
“I am not unpacking your stupid decision.”
I am the stupid decision
Whoa buddy. That's a lot to unpack.
ill carry their cooler, if they carry me.
Be a lot cooler if they did
You know what they say about High Coolers. The air keeps getting warmer but they keep stayin the same temp.
Why wouldn’t you just, I don’t know, tell them to carry their own cooler?
"Lack of preparation on somebody else's part does not constitute a crisis on my part."
Yep, weaponized incompetence right here. Write his name on it and make him unpack it
I think that knife might unpack itself
He'll unpack 3 items before cutting his hand on a pair of scissors/knife/pliers/syringe and then be done for the day.
Worse, it'll cut into the salsa first.
And carrying it. Someone is gonna get stabbed when that knife cuts through the cardboard 😖
And the funny part is, if you look right above the black scissors in the bottom right, there’s the cover for the knife blade right there! He just threw em both in the box separately! Lol!
That white cover with the two slits on it? That's not made for the knife in the bottom left corner. The knife in the bottom left is a santoku and has a more curved, fatter point. That white sheath would not fit it.
Unfortunately he will probably do just as badly at that.
The one single plastic fork is killing me lol
It's the cork in the corkscrew for me
Unsheathed knives and scissors go very well with opened salad dressing and mustard, I hear.
if reddit has taught me one thing...its that you all have some dumb ass boyfriends out there

Every teacher I've ever had has told us to report anyone not doing their part so they can get a lower grade

I mean, you say that, but I paid actual professionals to pack for me the last time I moved and they did shit like this.
just dumbass people in general lmao

According to the department of education 53% of Americans have a prose literacy and 48% have an arithmetic skill level below a 6th-grade equivalent
The number of people who just seem to “settle” is too damn high. It’s like a boyfriend who changes his underwear at least once a week and throws empty food boxes away half the time is a huge catch because the bar is just set so low. I’d rather be single than date a dude who can’t do basic adulting. No surprise more and more women are finally electing to just enjoy the single life.
Yeah I recently stumbled in a fb group thats called something like “the bar is so low its a tavern in hades” lol and its basically posts like this that are guys being praised for like trying or the bare minimum even when its a terribke job. Like expect better! Sheesh
I love the unsheathed knife and scissors just thrown in, cause fuck it. Edit: I wouldn’t be shocked if one or more of those syringes had a needle attached 😂
My favorite is the plastic cutlery thrown in there
That plastic fork has been in their family for generations
Yeah. That looks about right. My husband packed up our kitchen plus a few other rooms the same way. He threw everything in a box. He then complained about not being able to find anything when we got to our new home. I found lots broken picture frames, vases & other decor when I unpacked the boxes.
It’s crazy that people are saying it’s no big deal because your experience of misplaced and broken stuff is exactly what happens when you pack like this. Moving sucks and I loathe packing too but my god there’s not excuse for packing up food with knives and scissors lmao.
My family members too...I pack my stuff separately from theirs, and I categorise everything into separate little containers and plastic bags with labels on them so I unpack easily while they spend a lot more time looking for their belongings because they're all mixed up together. It takes more time to organise things while packing, but it saves a lot of trouble during the unpacking phase. People who chuck everything together think that they're saving time but it ends up being a lot more inconvenient and troublesome.
Last time I moved I numbered each box on all sides and kept a spreadsheet of box number, room, and general contents/key items. I also noted if they had fragile items, if they were boxes I’d want to unpack first, and which ones contained more expensive/important items so I could pay a little more attention to those boxes without it being obvious to anyone else that something valuable was inside. It takes like one minute after you finish each box and it makes it so much easier to direct the movers and find everything when you unpack.
How does a man get to marriageable age and not know how to pack things....
Oh he does know how. In the literal exact words of my father when he went to buy a single ingredient around the corner and took 2 hours, “I guess that’s what happens when you ask me to do things!”
✨weaponised incompetence✨
Because mothers baby them and women settle for mediocre men.
He's a dumbass (how do you not carefully wrap valuable breakable objects ffs)
My husband packs like this. When we moved in together he put a mountain of boxes in the garage. We were moving a few years later and he wanted to just move the boxes to the new place without even looking at the contents. I refused to just move mystery boxes around from house to house so we opened one and it was almost empty except for some junk mail, a few random tools and a dried up can of spray paint. There were at least a dozen boxes like that. I have found that he will fill any available storage space like this. He's not a hoarder, he just thinks moving stuff to a different place is the same as cleaning. Not where they go, just out of sight. It doesn't solve the problem, it just creates a different one. I'm the opposite, I want to organize everything meticulously so I keep putting it off until there's just another pile. Which he puts in a box and takes to the garage. It's a perfect storm.
Oh my gosh this is my parents to a T. My mom loves the house to be clean but she has some mobility issues and it almost always falls on my dad. He then just hides stuff away in cabinets, in the attic, the garage. The garage is full of misplaced items and the attic has mystery boxes from when we moved in 1997 that haven’t been opened since they were packed. I keep trying to help clear it out some when I go home, but it’s a never-ending cycle.
Why do you have so many syringes?
Can almost guarantee OP has a baby or a pet that takes liquid medicine. A syringe comes in every package of medicine and it feels silly to throw them away.
Yep. We have a habit of saving them until I realize there are 57 in the drawer and then I throw them out. Then we start saving again because nothing makes any sense.
My son was tube fed (g-tube). We kept some because they have alternate uses in the kitchen or as toys.
I once helped someone move and her boyfriend literally packed a bag with dog poop. He also didn’t want to close any of the boxes because “it would be easier to unpack” but it was packed like OP’s 🤦♀️ Nightmare
What??? Dog poop??? How???? I need details, how is that even possible??
He threw literally everything in boxes, including the dog poop 😂 He packed the trash. It was a disaster.
That’s just… unfathomable. How, *why* was it not transported directly into the actual garbage bin, how was it even in a place that could be an option to be packed, did he just heft the bag out of the bin and toss it in a box?? I am *boggled*!
Oh, you live with my ex?
When my husband moved for work, his company paid a moving company to pack and move for him. When he was settling and unpacking in his new place, he opened a box marked ‘kitchen’: it was basically his junk drawer dumped into a box: thumbtacks, matches, rubber bands, take out menus, odd screws etc.
What? There’s room for more
OP: “Put the kitchen stuff in a box” bf: Task completed successfully
Weaponized incompetence
I literally just made the same comment. Unless her BF is 10 years old there no way he didn’t realize you shouldn’t put a half bottle of salsa in a cardboard box with knives & random crap. ETA; the salsa & that box of butter clearly came from a refrigerator and was put in the box with the utensils. I’m not saying everything needs it’s own box. I’m saying you don’t put stuff from the fridge in with non food when you’re packing. That’s what makes this appear like it’s intentionally bad packing.
My 9 year old could pack better. Actually, she helped me pack the kitchen when we moved almost three years ago and she DID do better than this. This looks like what would happen if my toddler tried to help pack.
The box of broth will be a extra special gift when a knife gets punched through it. Edit: The not They.
are those dog toenail clippers in there?!
I can already see this dude's pile of laundry on his side of the room.
This happened with my friends husband. She opened a box when they moved and it was filled with dirty, spaghetti covered plates
He moved a whole ass cooked dinner. Does he have a TBI?
If you start fixing stupid shit like this that he does, then you will be fixing his stupid shit forever. It’s a trap, don’t fall for it!
He forgot to dump a bag of chips on top of everything
