    This is a real phenomenon. We’ve all experienced it. We can’t ALL be losing our minds. Finally science has stepped in to research this mystery.

    Affirming formerly fringe hypothesis that plastics exist in a hyper state between litter and pantry.

    You fool, you don’t put containers and lids together, ever! You need a container cupboard and a lid drawer on opposite sides of the kitchen.

    literally laughing while I visualized their math.

    everything starts out fine at first, you put into a cabinet 10 containers with 10 matching lids.

    you close the door.

    A week later you find 30 things in there and none of them match 😆

    I always knew it, but now we have scientific evidence

    I posit that it’s a sock from the dryer quantum leaping into my kitchen as a random piece of Tupperware

    At some point we had to throw away all our plastic containers as it become insane to match them. We bought one kind only. Tr8ed to go for the perfect one size for all in good quality. No more issues ever since. Same with socks. We bough one kind black and one kind white. No more matching. I recommend it for everyone.

      Oh god yes. There is now a blanket rule in our house that we only buy one system of storage. At some point, we revisit. I think on our next revisit, we might just go to deli-tainers.

      As for socks, and I must state for clarity, this has been done against my will, we have at least, at least, 17 different types of socks. I have made clear, that the first thing we do when we win the lottery or whatever is declare sockruptcy, throw those all away, and just buy one at-least-ok sock.
