How many of you get totally irked when you open the freezer door to find empty or mostly empty ice cube trays sitting inside? Come on now, raise your hands! ME ME ME! I admit, it gets my blood boiling quickly.
I’m the type of person that has to put ice into most of my beverages. I drink a lot of iced tea, gingerale, fruit juices and smoothies. All of which require ice cubes! I need my beverages ice cold when I drink them. Sorry, that’s the way the majority of people enjoy a drink.
Well, in my household there’s a particular someone (hmmm hubby) who has a habit of leaving me empty or mostly empty ice cube trays in the freezer! Originally I had only two trays in there but couldn’t get him to break that nasty habit. So, I went and purchased 2 more trays for a total of 4. This way I would always have ice cubes available to me. Wrong.
Yesterday I got into the freezer to grab 2 trays because I was whipping up 3 fruit smoothies for myself and 2 friends. Low and behold…I found 1 completely empty and 2 almost empty trays sitting inside. Only one out of the four was full. Say what? Yeah. Oh, I was mad!
My VENT today totally deals with lazy people (yes, hubby, that’s you) who don’t take a minute or two to refill up the trays with water. Why are we housing empty ice cube trays in our freeze? Answer please. I’m waiting…………………………………Ugh.
I can understand your vent. It used to happen to me when my kids were younger. I too do not understand why it is so hard to refill an ice cube tray!
It just me and I have no trouble keeping them full. Why don’t you get a plastic bin fill it with ice cubes and place in the freezer. Hubby would take the easy route and get them out of the bin. Even if the bin was almost empty you would have trays full.
I can totally relate to that. We filter our water. I go to get water and there is maybe half a cup left in the pitcher. It is SITTING right next to the faucet…. fill it back up. I use it to make pots of coffee which I am NOT the only drinking it but am the only one making it. What is it with those people.
Yep. Very irritating. Since I live alone I have no one to blame things like this on. (I don’t use ice in my drinks)
An empty ice cube tray makes me cray cray too. I now buy ice by the bag and put it in one of our spare freezers so I know there is ice out there!!!! I too use ice like a crazy person in my iced tea, cokes, smoothies etc.
