Murphy's Law in the Kitchen! 🌞 [View all]

*********************************************************
IN THE KITCHEN!
*********************************************************


If you have meat in a plastic bag either thawing or marinating in the refrigerator, it will only leak if you don't put a plate or pan under it.

Certain unnamed members of my household only remember to shake the OJ when the lid isn't very secure.... but I'm not namin names

Dropped bread product always lands topping side down. Pizza, buttered toast, half a sandwich....

"Food Prep Time" at the top of the recipe is always just a cruel joke.

You open the refrigerator and reach for the drink you saved .....you guessed it all gone and so is your half sandwich hidden behind it. And everyone you ask says I dunno!


The recipe you've made successfully dozens of times for yourself, will go terribly wrong whenever you make it for company.

No matter how obvious it is, if you freeze it and don't label it you won't remember what it is!

Your kitchen sink drain will become clogged when you're ready to do the dishes after Thanksgiving dinner!

When deep-frying or moving a boiling pot cats, dogs or kids are suddenly underfoot.


The kitchen trash can is full beyond capacity, someone always manages to balance that empty one gallon milk jug on top to avoid taking the trash out.

When someone drops some small tidbit of food on the floor and assumes the dog will get it. NOT! I step on or in it and it's always mushy.

As soon as I start making dinner why is it that suddenly everyone needs to be in there also?

When I wash the last dirty cup or dish and turn out the lights to go to bed, why is it I wake up to a sink half full of dirty dishes again?v

The less time you have to cook dinner, the more the kitchen will need cleaning before you can start.

AND AT THE CHECKOUT LINE!
*********************************************


The person checking out just in front of you at the grocery store always has items you didn't know they carried and wish you had

The person checking out just in front of you at the grocery store always has healthier, greener, smarter items that make you feel ashamed of that sinful item glaring at you that you couldn't resist :pig:

The person in the checkout line in front of you picked up an item that is either the wrong thing or damaged and you have to wait until the bagger fetches another.

The person in front of you wants to pay with a check.


Got any more??
