Hubby vs food containers
#1
I have to get some plastic food containers for DH's cereal. We're going to the store together so he can pick.
"What size do we need?"
"2 to 4 quarts."
"That doesn't tell me anything. What size are they?"
"2 to 4 quarts. Plastic containers are sold by quarts or gallons."
"I don't understand. Get me a ruler." He then measured his cereal boxes.
"Honey, when we get to the store they will be sold by volume - not in inches."
He just gave me the dimensions of the cabinet so we can get a container that size.
We are now going out. This should prove interesting. :)

I'm with Clarinet87. Mine would have to build something himself after numerous trips to Home Depot and taking out the cabinet and remounting the hinges, etc, etc, etc. 6 months later the cereal would still be in the original box! gotta love 'em!
