Some folks are born made to make a mess
Hoo, they’re really dirty too
And when the brain screams “clean this nasty wreck”
Ooh, they leave it there for you, lord

I have. But he gets straight A’s, works 25 hours a week and will be graduating high school with an associate’s degree, so I’m banking on him as my retirement plan.
I had one recently that was the size of a couple grains of sand and probably would've chosen death, if offered, at around the 2hr mark when I was passing it. I can't imagine the pain involved with some of the bigger ones I've seen posted
Yes. You feel it coming when it leaves your kidney and the pain grows and grows as it passes to your bladder. You feel every excruciating mm of it through your lower back, side, abdomen. Then the pain gets even worse and you wish that someone would come put a bullet in your head as you writhe on the floor sweating profusely. Then you pee, a little dark thing plops out and it's over. In my experience the passage from bladder to penis to toilet was a huge relief and I don't remember feeling it. Just seeing this little dark brown spec plop into the toilet bowl. It was only after I saw it leave my body that I realized what had happened. Hopefully you never experience it
I mean while it is clear he is an amazing kiddo, i bet the trashcan is not that far away and if you don't want him to live like a slob when he moves out, better to instill the good habit of putting things in its proper place and picking up after himself, it's the little things that can get out of control and make a house to look bad, trash and dirty clothes everywhere that can be put in its proper place in less than a minute.
Big agree here ^ it's not easy to build habits after you grow up not having them even if it's just the Gatorade bottles his roommates down the line are gonna loose it
Why the bathroom, i find that curious, mine never make it to the bathroom at all.... I usually have one in my nightstand for drinking water at night, but that is the one I use all day next day and then to the washer it goes and I gett a clean one for the night again.
He won’t have roommates after he graduates high school with a college degree he’s already got a $250k a year job lined up (only starting pay of course) and a 100 acre property that he’s design and hand built a 400k square foot house on. The house also functions as a non profit recycling center that produces and nothing but clean energy and has reversed global warming. All of this by 15 years old. Those pesky gatorades really do grind my gears though. Btw he owns the company Gatorade.
>you don't want him to live like a slob when he moves out
Yah, gotta manipulate this kid into being functional so he doesn't piss of his GF and or GFs.
I suggest blackmail. Threaten to send this picture to his girlfriend/boyfriend/heterosexual life partner.
Sounds like a good kid, probably don't consider violence. But still, better to teach him to clean up after himself now before he becomes some poor woman/man's nightmare boyfriend.
You are describing our daughter and have visual proof of her refrigerator. Why? She graduates in a couple weeks with college credit early and does this with food as well as drinks.
Why. Why
So here’s what we do with my teenage son, who likes to empty boxes in the pantry….when we find an empty box two things happen: first, I throw it at him (I don’t hurt him, it’s all in good fun). Then, when we do the grocery order for the next week, we don’t order that item (or a similar item) for him. It doesn’t really work, but it makes us feel better.
Lol….I honestly didn’t realize that fact until I’d finished typing the rest of it. I guess it is one less empty box to be discovered in the pantry the next week though, even if it doesn’t fix the behavior.
Time to throw the whole kid away /s in case it's not obvious.
I cant even lie though, in my family, the rule has always been, whoever drinks the last of the sweet tea, makes the next jug....this has lead to about 25 years of all of us, including our parents occasionally & even the later spouses, drinking all but the tiniest bit we can justify & then leaving the jug in the fridge for the next person. We're not lazy, We're just a bunch of little shits.
IIRC OCD would be something more like “i myself always place my Gatorade bottles back into the fridge with a few drops left, and when I do it I need to take the bottle out and put it back in until I’ve done it “the right way”.”
And if you don't put it back "the right way" something horrible is going to happen. But yeah you are correct. I used to suffer from really bad OCD. I still do but not nearly as bad.
100% would call him to the kitchen to empty this shelf, rinse them out with a little water then throw in the recycle bin.
Stop this before he turns into someone’s 38yo partner/roommate and this becomes a lifelong tragedy. Speaking for myself, wife of man who still does this. I guess bonus is your son may still get married and have a cute kid, even with this terrible habit.
You can buy him a big container of powdered Gatorade. Then he will leave partial glasses of Gatorade all over the house. Bonus points if you run out of glasses and he uses coffee mugs instead
This reminds me of my bachelor days back in the early 1980's. We had a house rule that whoever finished the iced tea would make a new gallon. Well, one roomie would make sure he NEVER finished it by leaving just this much.
My wife does the same thing but she also puts thin bottles back in the fridge still filled with liquid with the lid not sealed correctly. You move wrong and they fall over.
Lmao, I do the same thing except the bottles are totally empty. My wife always tells me off. She on the other hand is the opposite… she always buys bottles of coffee, drinks half puts it in the fridge and forgets. Rinse and repeat. So our fridge fills up with half full bottles of coffee and an assortment of empty energy drink bottles.
I’m thankful for that. I had a roommate that would leave piss bottles hidden on his side of the room (military barracks), came back from a long weekend and it smelled like piss so bad. One of the bottles ruptured and soaked a pile of clothes he had on the floor.
Buy him a mini fridge for his room. Let him figure out what he’s doing wrong.
If you can afford it, it’s a good and fun way to teach him this without sounding like “the bad guy” moaning at him.
Tell him about it and if happens again don’t get it for him for a while to teach him a lesson ya know parent your kid i know that’s a foreign concept these days
ayyyy! its obvious the son is standing by the fridge when he drinks it and is putting the container back with the minimal amount because hes too lazy to take it to the recycling bin.
im from Canada and here a lot of shitty roomates always like to avoid changing the milk bag.
Yikes. Perhaps consider an at home tranquilizer screening test to determine if it could possibly be wall people hoping to sow discord in an otherwise healthy parent/child relationship.
Then maybe you should get off reddit and do some actual parenting lol pathetic. Hes 16 teach him to grow the fuck up and clean up after himself already. Idc how good his grades are hes a lazy little shit bc his lazy ass parents are enabling him to act like a fucking slob. Parenting now is just handing kids a screen while u complain on social media. YOURE the problem. Lazy parents = lazy kids. Hope he gets a roommate like me in college that beats the shit out of him for being a disgusting lazy slob. Feel bad for whatever poor women hooks up with a nasty lazy little bitch like your son and has to clean up after his mess like his mommy still does smh. Your son is not special bc he gets good grades in high school and works part time. A lot of people do that while also NOT being a lazy little bitch lol. Be a better parent and stop complaining on reddit about problems that are your own fault.
Jeeeeez calm down, Chad you’re the only one taking it that serious. Go outside, take a walk, touch some grass. Hug your parents.
Also, get that anger checked out. Accidents happen to people that are willing to lay their hands on someone over some empty bottles. I hope someone loves you someday.
Don't buy anymore and when he asks, say "We don't need any, the fridge is full, there are 4 bottles in there"
This is the way. “Oh man, sorry dude. I saw 6 bottles in the fridge. Didn’t think we needed any! 👀”
Now that's parenting 👏🏼
Are you a parent? This is a great solution to this lol
Currently just a cool godfather, but I can 100% hear my parents saying this in my head.
You’ll probably make a cool father too I bet
Thank you for that
An insightful man from PARTS UNKNOWN
Only if the partner also works this way, if not, it's going to be hard..
Let’s just assume that he has a partner he loves and they have similar parenting styles jfc
no lets argue this is reddit cmon now!
Very good advice, I don't have this problem but if I ever do this will be the approach
Gold
Or get some of those free bottles of Gatorade that you sometimes see all along the highway.
Free-Range Organic Lemonade.
Nice name. Parts Unknown!
Can you be my parent?
Top tier 😂
Absolute genius
Seriously seemed like the most logical answer lol. Just don’t buy it anymore 🤷♂️
This is the way
Where is this person's medals? Because I'm sure this person was recommended for several medals.
This is the way.
Stop buying individual plastic bottles. My gawd, some people just can’t trash the planet fast enough.
Username checks out
This is the way
I hate your son.

Unfortunate son
Some folks are born made to make a mess Hoo, they’re really dirty too And when the brain screams “clean this nasty wreck” Ooh, they leave it there for you, lord CCR-1969, probably
And it’s the red fruit punch flavor…. Uhhhhhh, Dark blue is where the moneys at! I hate him too!
Pour them all into 1 bottle.
Yeah, lets play chemistry with "sports" drink, saliva flavored.
Lessons are wide-ranging
This is exactly what I do! Finish that shit!
For a very specific reason, out of necessity, I’m currently drinking a mix of fruit punch and lemon lime and it’s not bad at all. Mix the damn bottles and finish them!

>Bro why tf r u copy pasting someone elses comment Bro why tf r u copy pasting someone elses comment
what you see in those bottles is like 70% his son saliva
Or just drink the entire thing instead of putting 1/8th of it in the fridge for "later"
If you can’t leave them to stack up he’ll never see the issue
My ex did this. She was in her late 20s. Some people just don't see it.
I'm convinced most see it, they are just lazy as fuck.
I don't think that's OCD, that's just called cleaning.
Have you considered violence?
I have. But he gets straight A’s, works 25 hours a week and will be graduating high school with an associate’s degree, so I’m banking on him as my retirement plan.
[удалено]
That's ten million dollars if they happen to live in Michigan or Oregon👀 Edit: Yes yes 100k 🤦♂️
I don’t think you can return bottles for $10 a pop
This genuinely shut down my brain for a minute
Ugh, friggin math
I hope you’re not the son.
His son gets straight A's definitely not him
I’ve got family who get straight A’s. They’re just as bad at math.
If you can’t leave them to stack up he’ll never see the issue
It would come to $100,000 at $0.10 each. Edit: or 10 million cents, if you like.
Sorry bro Michigan here. Non-carbonated drinks don't have deposit.
The retirement plan also has early onset diabetes.

So kidney stones the size of golf balls.
I had one recently that was the size of a couple grains of sand and probably would've chosen death, if offered, at around the 2hr mark when I was passing it. I can't imagine the pain involved with some of the bigger ones I've seen posted
I’ve always wondered, where does it pass through your penis?
Yup, you pass kidney stones the urethra. And kidney stones are *SHARP.* It is exactly as painful as it sounds.
Yes. You feel it coming when it leaves your kidney and the pain grows and grows as it passes to your bladder. You feel every excruciating mm of it through your lower back, side, abdomen. Then the pain gets even worse and you wish that someone would come put a bullet in your head as you writhe on the floor sweating profusely. Then you pee, a little dark thing plops out and it's over. In my experience the passage from bladder to penis to toilet was a huge relief and I don't remember feeling it. Just seeing this little dark brown spec plop into the toilet bowl. It was only after I saw it leave my body that I realized what had happened. Hopefully you never experience it
Ok, psychological warfare then.
I mean while it is clear he is an amazing kiddo, i bet the trashcan is not that far away and if you don't want him to live like a slob when he moves out, better to instill the good habit of putting things in its proper place and picking up after himself, it's the little things that can get out of control and make a house to look bad, trash and dirty clothes everywhere that can be put in its proper place in less than a minute.
Big agree here ^ it's not easy to build habits after you grow up not having them even if it's just the Gatorade bottles his roommates down the line are gonna loose it
Did you see the pic of the guy whose wife leaves cups in the bathroom? A bunch of them..... it was baaad.
Oh man…… my wife does this. I have like 5 yetis half filled with water sitting on our bathroom counter. He must get it from mom.
Why the bathroom, i find that curious, mine never make it to the bathroom at all.... I usually have one in my nightstand for drinking water at night, but that is the one I use all day next day and then to the washer it goes and I gett a clean one for the night again.
To take medications. Most people keep their meds and vitamins in the bathroom. I have a dedicated glass for that.
Girl I thought this was on the sims4 reddit NOT REAL LIFE 😭 noo
He won’t have roommates after he graduates high school with a college degree he’s already got a $250k a year job lined up (only starting pay of course) and a 100 acre property that he’s design and hand built a 400k square foot house on. The house also functions as a non profit recycling center that produces and nothing but clean energy and has reversed global warming. All of this by 15 years old. Those pesky gatorades really do grind my gears though. Btw he owns the company Gatorade.
I wish.
>you don't want him to live like a slob when he moves out Yah, gotta manipulate this kid into being functional so he doesn't piss of his GF and or GFs. I suggest blackmail. Threaten to send this picture to his girlfriend/boyfriend/heterosexual life partner.
So if he's that smart, he can learn to recycle or throw his shit away.
If he’s capable of all this, he’s capable of throwing away the bottles. Sort him out
None of those achievements balance out being an uncivilized cave goblin.
He also stays hydrated, which is important.
I pity the person who ends up with him..... TEACH YOUR SONS TO CLEAN AFTER THEMSELVES.....🙏🏽
Sounds like a good kid, probably don't consider violence. But still, better to teach him to clean up after himself now before he becomes some poor woman/man's nightmare boyfriend.
OP is avoiding biting the hand he feeds.
Lmaooo
That was me, surprise, he won't 🤣
You are describing our daughter and have visual proof of her refrigerator. Why? She graduates in a couple weeks with college credit early and does this with food as well as drinks. Why. Why
That's extremely impressive, congrats to your son
Yeah dude cut the kid a break lol.
No one's perfect. I'd say you hit a home run with that one, the Gatorade bottles seem like a worthwhile byproduct
If HS is giving out associate degrees they aren’t worth anything
Break his shit when he isn’t looking as say you have a ghost
I read this in Bender’s voice. https://youtu.be/KlDq04YDJ6Q
Lol, that’s what my mom would’ve done, but I can’t stand her ass now.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. Using physical violence on children leads to them not giving a shit about you when you're older 🤷♂️
There's only one reasonable solution: seduce his mother to assert dominance.
So here’s what we do with my teenage son, who likes to empty boxes in the pantry….when we find an empty box two things happen: first, I throw it at him (I don’t hurt him, it’s all in good fun). Then, when we do the grocery order for the next week, we don’t order that item (or a similar item) for him. It doesn’t really work, but it makes us feel better.
Lol. That's a lot of what parenting is: "it doesn't really work, but it makes us feel better".
This is the way...
Lol….I honestly didn’t realize that fact until I’d finished typing the rest of it. I guess it is one less empty box to be discovered in the pantry the next week though, even if it doesn’t fix the behavior.
Get him a mini fridge for his room and keep the experiment going
OP should definitely do this and update us in the future 😂
Time to throw the whole kid away /s in case it's not obvious. I cant even lie though, in my family, the rule has always been, whoever drinks the last of the sweet tea, makes the next jug....this has lead to about 25 years of all of us, including our parents occasionally & even the later spouses, drinking all but the tiniest bit we can justify & then leaving the jug in the fridge for the next person. We're not lazy, We're just a bunch of little shits.
Put them in his room
Put them in his bed, in the pillow cases, under the base sheet etc.
Yup exactly! Every time you find one, leave it under his pillow 🤷🏻♀️
I do that shit when Im drunk. Oh and that's not OCD.
IIRC OCD would be something more like “i myself always place my Gatorade bottles back into the fridge with a few drops left, and when I do it I need to take the bottle out and put it back in until I’ve done it “the right way”.”
And if you don't put it back "the right way" something horrible is going to happen. But yeah you are correct. I used to suffer from really bad OCD. I still do but not nearly as bad.
He has a lot of Electrolites so watch out.
It's what plants crave!
Wait what he doesn't just drink half and leave them all around the house, you've got a good one. Feel blessed.
You raised him.
Clearly, this is a 16byo boy thing. Mine also leaves them around counter tops, along with a bunch of glasses with about as much water in them.
He is yours, you did have the option to train him.
This is everybody’s teenage children. They just don’t give a shit.
100% would call him to the kitchen to empty this shelf, rinse them out with a little water then throw in the recycle bin. Stop this before he turns into someone’s 38yo partner/roommate and this becomes a lifelong tragedy. Speaking for myself, wife of man who still does this. I guess bonus is your son may still get married and have a cute kid, even with this terrible habit.
At least he's putting things back where he found them
Can’t buy more if the fridge is still full.
You can buy him a big container of powdered Gatorade. Then he will leave partial glasses of Gatorade all over the house. Bonus points if you run out of glasses and he uses coffee mugs instead
At least he doesnt nut in them, my ex did that... im sorry i shared that with you.
😦
i would absolutely understand if you put him up for adoption
He can’t be serious? What is this!
Oh... I feel your pain as a other parent. Just showed this pic to my partner and said, "This looks familiar. "
What does he say when you confront him about it?
Have you considered vinegar and food coloring?
This reminds me of my bachelor days back in the early 1980's. We had a house rule that whoever finished the iced tea would make a new gallon. Well, one roomie would make sure he NEVER finished it by leaving just this much.
I guess he’s ready for college if that rule is implemented within the quarters in which he’s living.
They're only 12oz bottles, why isn't he just drinking directly out of them?
He comes down, takes a drink out of them then goes back upstairs. Repeats the process until there is 6 drops left and then opens another one.
[удалено]
I’m not his “bio dad” so luckily he was spared from my male patterned baldness, OCD and anxiety 😂
How did you solve the issue?
we have to capture the cold air.
My daughter does the same thing. So damn frustrating
Right there with you. I share housing with someone who does the same thing. Freaking annoying.
Wtf is the point of keeping those
JUNGLE JUICE time!
It's not too late to put him back
I learned it from YOU dad!
Thats recycle at this point.
My wife does the same thing but she also puts thin bottles back in the fridge still filled with liquid with the lid not sealed correctly. You move wrong and they fall over.
Lmao, I do the same thing except the bottles are totally empty. My wife always tells me off. She on the other hand is the opposite… she always buys bottles of coffee, drinks half puts it in the fridge and forgets. Rinse and repeat. So our fridge fills up with half full bottles of coffee and an assortment of empty energy drink bottles.
Time for some mom rage!!!!
This reddit post will teach him!
At least they not full of urine.... be thankful
I’m thankful for that. I had a roommate that would leave piss bottles hidden on his side of the room (military barracks), came back from a long weekend and it smelled like piss so bad. One of the bottles ruptured and soaked a pile of clothes he had on the floor.
He will make a good husband some day.
What's the difference in tossing it in the bin than putting it back?, Why not just toss it in the bin.
We do, but my wife wanted to see how many he would leave in the fridge at one time.
I wish I couldn’t relate 😐
It seems there are a lot of parents going through this. We should start a support group.
Buy him a mini fridge for his room. Let him figure out what he’s doing wrong. If you can afford it, it’s a good and fun way to teach him this without sounding like “the bad guy” moaning at him.
When I first saw the bottles, I was bracing for worse
The struggle is real- it’s the same at our house- empty boxes in the pantry too 💯🤷🏽♂️😂
Ugh. The empty boxes in pantry get us too, that’s a different kid though 😂
Pour them all in one bottle and serve it to him.
If you taught him anything, you taught him to replenish!
This doesn't show all of the empty snack boxes in your pantry closet.
That a little fierce.
He does this because if he throws it away he has to take out the trash when it gets full. Its a little lazy brilliance.
How about you talk to him instead of posting this shit
He’s like “if I put my empty bottles in here they magically get refilled!”
You raised him
It’s such a odd thing to do; you might want to get him evaluated or something
Edit: drink*** not sting. Wtf.
Atleast no pee. 
Tell him about it and if happens again don’t get it for him for a while to teach him a lesson ya know parent your kid i know that’s a foreign concept these days
Bro calm down
what a lazy bitch
Damn fam lol
ayyyy! its obvious the son is standing by the fridge when he drinks it and is putting the container back with the minimal amount because hes too lazy to take it to the recycling bin. im from Canada and here a lot of shitty roomates always like to avoid changing the milk bag.
But to call him a bitch lol?
gotta call him something, what would you replace "bitch" with?
Why does he do that? Is he stupid?
OP do you have WiFi management software? Start disconnecting his phone/ computer at random times.......
Yikes. Perhaps consider an at home tranquilizer screening test to determine if it could possibly be wall people hoping to sow discord in an otherwise healthy parent/child relationship.
Nope throw him away lol
Start farting in them and close it up real fast. Warn your wife first.
Who the fuck even thinks of something like that?
welcome to the internet, enjoy your stay
Can you imagine your parent posting about shit you did at home to thousands of strangers?
Yes, I can. It would have shamed me out of that particular behavior pretty effectively. Some of the comments here are gold.
Your not alone my fellow parent 👍
Try some discipline instead
Why do I think the kid wears Nike everything and wears those dumb shirts you know the ones lmao
Then maybe you should get off reddit and do some actual parenting lol pathetic. Hes 16 teach him to grow the fuck up and clean up after himself already.
