Storage Ideas

My Wife just has to have extra McDonalds straws and coffee stir sticks in my truck at all times. Problem is they are all over the place. Please help She has been a real good Wife for over 30 years so I hate to get rid of her over this or ban her from my Truck. Pics would help but I need some storage ideas for this mess.

 

BAN HER!!!!!

 

maybe the glove box.

 

That is one of the problems now I have the organizer in there and they will not fit without flying all over. gets on my nerves.

 

Not that easy then I would have to listen to her while She was riding in the bed of the truck.

 

maybe one of those zip-up flat pencil cases for a 3 ring binder?

 

zip loc baggies, then place them in glove box or center console

 

Put a cup in the door cubby and tell her to toss the straws in there....

Otherwise, post a pic.. i dont care about straws in my truck

 

This will work Thanks, I am suffering from chemo brain right now hope that goes away soon.

 

Rubber band!

 

And then stash in one of the 67 cup holders.

 

OP - You should entertain the idea of turning her loose in your truck and give her carte blanche to reorganize your truck. Women seem to have an innate natural ability to organize things. I'm convinced there is a gene for organization that us guys with the "Y chromosome" part of our genetic make-up are missing.

This also manifests itself when it comes to loading dishwashers and other similar tasks.

PS: Remember "happy wife/happy life." Also congratulations on maintaining a 30+ year relationship with your wife. This is becoming more and more rare. I also wanted to wish you a full and speedy recovery.

 

If she has her own car start leaving things in it she doesn't like. When she says something about it just say "Those are my McDonald straws." Say it quietly and nicely. Do this with different items. She may get the idea.

 

She is only real good with the house decorating and storage issues. Her car is a mess, just like most wife's cars. Thanks I am hoping for a speedy recovery too. I should know by August if the cancer is under control.

 

Man her car is a mess, charging cords ,nail files, coffee cups, umbrellas and crap all over the place. That is why she puts junk in my truck.
I am going to get one of those binder pockets with a zipper on it.

 

She is smarter than that we been together a long time she is used to me messing with her.

 

Punch her in the throat and tell her to get back in the kitchen. Works for me

Another option.....do you still have the receipt? Perhaps you could return her and exchange her for a more compliment model?

 

No punching She shoots better than I do. I already returned one for Her 33 years ago! this one is a keeper.

 

You are in deep trouble and a little binder pocket is probably not going to solve the problem. Sorry but I think you are stuck with your situation. You have my sympathies.
