Just for sh*ts and giggles...

Evidence your adult step kids (in my case SD20 and SS17) don't pay for a damn thing in the house.

I'll begin:

Throw out the roll of toilet paper just because it's low.

Leave the basement door open when the heat is on.

Throw out most of their meals.

Whatcha got?

and clearly no one showering and despite all this still smells and looks scruffy and like he never showered. Hubby came home once same thing water running for 30mins, he’d been in for 45 mins before hubby got home. 1hr 15 mins tap water running and no aound of water splashing 

going out and air conditioning in bedroom is on, bedroom lights on. Computer on all day and night unless left house to buy junkfood.

oh adult life will be surreal when he marries and is on his own and the utilities start pouring in... ss20 is just gonna be confused how much everything costs

So many things...I will share what I feel is the most rediculous.

My formerSS used to forget to close the refrigerator and freezer doors - regularly. It was especially bad when he would do so after everyone had gone to bed for the night. (He didn't have a set bedtime and was allowed to eat/drink whatever, whenever). So, as you can imagine, the fridge/freezer would be open for HOURS sometimes. All the food would have to be thrown away. It was particularly annoying when I had to throw away all the breast milk I had pumped. Eventually I stopped pumping and freezing, because it was just going to get ruined anyway.

FormerSO would "talk to him" (TM) but that never seemed to make a difference. Imagine that.

was house sitting for us once and left the freezer open. The result of that is the fridge broke down a few weeks later, and I got the fridge that I've always wanted! But waiting for delivery was awful- two weeks of living out of coolers, and thank God we have a freezer in the garage.

Well mine thankfully aren't here anymire...but when they were I couldn't believe the amount of food they would just scrape into the trash. Not just leftover food from their own plates but untouched leftovers still in the serving dish. 

My DH didn't believe in leftovers because "no one ever eats those and you just end up throwing them out a week later." 

Um. Maybe with your ex-wife's food...but I'm a good cook...who doesn't overcook things...and my leftovers will make great lunches at the office. So save them for me if no one else!! 

(I guess, on the bright side, the fact this was a problem meant the skids were at least trying to clean up after dinner...) 

Now, people argue over who gets to eat/take home my leftovers...so I do have them retrained. 

When they were younger they'd also take two sips out of a can of soda, leave it somewhere for an hour to let it get warm and flat...and then open another one. Drove me batty. I solved this one by not buying anymore soda since I try not to drink it anyway.

SD was not the problem, my DH is!

Light left on in the kitchen, "But I'm going back in there in a little bit."

God forbid he do ANY squeezing to get toothpaste out, he would rather throw the tube away when there is still 1/3 left.

Toilet paper? Yep, changes the roll before it's done. He knows better than to throw it away, though, so he sets it on top!

He can be pretty annoying when it comes to these things, but I know that I am annoying in the exact opposite way. I get anxious if I hear the water running for too long!

Walking around in short shorts and a tank top in winter, complaining it's cold, turning the heat up after repeatedly being told not to.

Not a Skid, but my nephew.   He abandons all kinds of things for apparently no rational reason.  Phone chargers... in the trash.  New clothing left in random closets when he visits other people's homes.   etc....

Most recently he visited my parents home.  I was there visiting as well.  When he and hsi GF left to head back to school after spring break he threw away two phone chargers, both perfectly functional, he left two big brand new containers of Clorox disenfectant wipes, and quite a bit of newer clothing.

It is odd.  He never asks about this stuff and even when he visits again he seems to not even see the stuff he has left in the past and just leaves more. Things are going to get very interesting very soon. He graduates in May with his BSCS. He already has a high paying job  that he will start upon graduation.  But... it will be his money that finances his abandoned belongings going forward.

Dropping dogs off at the last minute (including untrained puppy) then leaving for a month vacation.  Puppy runined my shoes and nice carpet - no offer of replacement - even from DH.  Using my kitchen to bake Christmas cookies for their friends  without asking me - I rated one cookie.  Throwing bedding in the floor.  Slamming doors in my face.  Having mumbled, sideline conversations with each other while we were in the same room.  Treating me as if I was an invisible maid.  Not picking up after themselves.  Etc., etc.

When ss33 was on Dh's phone plan he went over the data plan $30-100 every freaking month. Apparently he was playing some game that chewed up data.  Poor guy was too busy playing games on his phone to find a job and pay his own bills.  

For the brief time he lived with us he was stoned all the time and constantly had the munchies.  Always in the fridge could never figure out how to close the door properly.  On the bright side he didn't like to shower so we saved money there.
