So I forget to eat lunch and breakfast most days, and as a result I'm usually shaking and weak around dinner time. Today I decided that I was gonna have a late lunch just before dinner because I was starving as shit. The only real thing I have in my fridge is a pack of hot dogs because my girlfriend and I don't really do shopping per week any more, we just figure out what we want and go get it from the grocery store. I make the hot dogs, and go to get ketchup, but it's not in the fridge. I look around, and find it left out on the counter (the last time we used ketchup was a few days ago, so apparently it's been sitting out on the counter for a few days). I don't really like it when it gets left out because it gets liquidy fast. Whatever, all I need to do is shake it to get the consistency back. So I do that, then squirt out a line onto my first hot dog.
What comes out looks lumpy with black spots. On closer inspection, I find out they're fucking fruit flies. I'm kind of grossed the fuck out now, but I soldier on, scrape off the ketchup and apply a new line. Same thing. The entire fucking bottle of ketchup appears to be filled with fruit flies, and because I had shaken it, they're completely throughout the bottle. By now I'm pissed and grossed out. Not only do I have to throw out a new fucking bottle of ketchup but now I'm feeling too sick to eat anything. Is it wrong of me to be pissed at my girlfriend for her leaving out the ketchup? She does it all the time with everything. She has this fucking annoying inability to clean the fuck up and it's getting on my nerves to the point where it's affecting our relationship. I've approached her SO MANY TIMES in the past about this kind of shit, and she makes no effort to change.
For example, in 2010 she left out a large mug of tea on top of the TV unit (back when I had a giant CRT TV), and I saw it there for a few days. I asked her to get rid of it, and she got all fucking defensive like I was insulting her about it. She was saying that she would get to it and shit and that I should stop bugging her about it. Well long story short, she didn't, and I refused to get rid of it out of principle. It went so moldy that it started smelling up the whole room, until one night I bumped into the stand and it fell all over me. At that point I flipped out and told her she needed to stop with this shitty habit, and told her all the problems I was having living with her. 2 years later, she still leaves tea out until it goes moldy. Then she complains that it smells or is gross when she has to get rid of it, because I wont.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm so fucking pissed right now.
Negative reinforcement time! Next time she does that, place it in her room. It won't be your problem anymore and now she has the proper motivation to put it away. Youhave successfully conditioned your girlfriend!
Or she would just get pissed. And I'm still confused/intrigued to how flies got into your ketchup bottle.
