I feel your pain. Not only that, but she gets mad at me for not being able to find it after she moves it. And don't lie anything on the kitchen counter or it will be thrown away within 6 nanoseconds. Except a cell phone.... those are sacred.

 

Same here

 

No worry's, think it happens to all of us.
There is big difference between keeping things organized you're way and you partners way of being organized!
I made her promise not to touch my tools, and build another shed for her stuff to organize! 🙏

 

The house is hers...her rules. The garage is mostly mine...my rules, esp. my bench and tools! It sorta works most of the time.

 

My wife moves my stuff ALL the time inside the house, garage she barely goes into, she called me at work a cpl days ago wanting to know where I put a bottle of Peppermint bug spray (that she ordered on Amazon) I said I didn't have a clue where it was, she texted later that she found it, Right where she had put it

 

I am in the same situation but cannot blame the better half. It ends up usually being me that failed to put them in the usual spot last time. Tape measures and flashlights are definitely the worst. lol

 

I can't blame my wife but I swear someone or something is moving things around my garage. For about 6 weeks I couldn't find the fan for my 70 Pontiac 400. Now I can't find a bag with tie downs. I'm also convinced there is a portal between a parallel universe where my 7/16 sockets go. In that universe I'm posting on the Chevelle board asking if anyone else mysteriously finds 7/16 sockets in their garage.

 

When I'm looking for something I can't find I usually find something I lost days, weeks, years earlier lol

 

No my wife is a slob who barely picks up her own stuff😂

I'm usually the one picking up stuff and relocating it...

 

Wish my wife was still alive to annoy me moving my stuff around.
Rest In Peace Barbara Jean.

 

My wife never really touches my stuff, and never touches anything in the garage

 

Does your wife threatening to Sell your stuff count? Why do you need all this Stuff? 3 sets of This & That and What's that thing for??

 

My ex was pretty good about touching my things. I had two sacred places, the garage and my den. If something I set down in the house got moved, it was a good bet she set it in my den. She never touched my tools because I set her up with her own tool box.

She was even fair about laundry cash. If money was found in the was found in the washer or dryer, since she had no idea who's it was, she would then split it between her and me.

 

Dave here,
I thought this was normal.

 

I have a small block on the engine stand in the corner of our dining room. If she could move it she would. I told her one more year..............or two, and it will be gone.

 

Mine was cool with me building a Harley engine in the dining room in 07 and the year before I had a crate Harley engine sitting in the dining room long enough for the 6 month unlimited mile warranty expire

 

She doesn't move my stuff much, but she uses my tools for things that she shouldn't. Case in point, I have a few pairs of wire cutters that I only use for soft copper wire that I've had since my aircraft avionics days. She decided to grab the smaller snap-on set and cut bailing wire with them, when those didn't work she kept moving up in sizes until she found a set that worked destroying the jaws of all of them.

 

My wife has a saying that I totally disagree with: "Any tool can be the right tool". I have numerous screwdrivers that prove that saying to be true. Maybe they are meant to be scrapers or pry bars or whatever. I've been wrong before...just ask her!

 

I do not have this issue.

 

My wife will move stuff around at times in the house and shed only never in the garage. Uses my tools she is handy fixing things and hanging stuff on the walls. Sometimes it's funny I move something around and I can't find it I blame her, then come to find out it was me who moved it all along. She fisty but we get along 44 years and counting. Got to love them.

 

Mine doesn't move things around, but she empties the trunk of her car onto and in front of my workbench and leaves it all there.
We joke about her dad always having to spend 1 or 2 hours to move stuff out of the way before he can work in his garage....now it's me, but she's the one who put the stuff in the way for me to move.

 

me and my wife have separate garages, she stays out of mine and I stay out of hers

 

Well Brad, maybe when she needs you to do something, like squish a big icky looking spider, you won't be found.....as you might have relocated yourself.....behind a beer....in the garage....

 

Yes, all the time. Lost some hex keys for months after assembling something for her. She shoved them in a basket where I had no idea to look.

I keep my cordless battery chargers and spray paint in the panty because its convenient and temperature stable. Last week, she moved my charger to the floor. I immediately corrected that.

Fun game.

"...spray paint in the panty..."

Typos can be fun too. Great one there.

 

No spouse = no problems like that 😁
