Good that it's not just me. Why the fuck do they do this?
Clearly my fault for not adapting and only picking up from the main container.
That's where I am. The worst is the bubble bath. About 1 in 10 times I drop it and have to spend a few minutes cleaning up spillage. I should be adapting but I'm not.
I spent years working in catering and there many certain things that were drummed into me, stuff like:
- The sink is to be kept empty so that it is ready to be used for washing up OR food use (draining pasta, rinsing stuff, etc) at any time. Nothing more annoying that having a sink full of dirty stuff and you need to drain pasta and boiling water will crack glasses/etc that are in the sink.*
- Stuff gets put away with lids on tight, or wrapped/covered in cling-film (or foil if item is oily)
- Bin bags are never left on the floor, if you take the bin bag out of the bin then you take it out to the outside bin(s) straight away. Similarly if the bin is full you don't start a new bin-bag just propped up next to the bin - you deal with it properly. The recycling bin ends up being a Jenga like game balancing greater and greater amounts of stuff on top.
I often get questions like "I thought you were going to start cooking, why are you putting it off by emptying the bins and loading the dishwasher?"
* Less of a problem in a commercial kitchen as you generally have 3 types of sink with dedicated uses (hand wash, food use, washing up) and misuse is punished.

The way my wife puts lids on things or rather doesn't.
She'll rest them on the top of the bottle / container and put them back in the cupboard/fridge or leave on the kitchen top. I then pick up the item, often by the top, and the lids comes off.
