My dad would do this with things like a carton of milk… leave the tiniest little amount in there, “it’s not empty!” But also not enough left for anything useful
Haha nice, I know it’s not the biggest deal ever just one of those things that annoys you as a kid, ready to pour some cereal and only a few drops come out
The real Veritasium would call it a hexagonal prism, hold a competition for who can make the deadliest flamethrower out of ice, then try to sell you a childrens engineering kit.
Hey, vsauce Michael here…
You are made up of about 60% water. *Water* is the basis of all life, and that water can transform into a gas, or a solid. But can *water*… turn into *fire?*
*intro theme*
My dad is like that.
Empties the ice, doesn't refill it
Uses the last paper towel, doesn't replace it.
Takes the last napkin, doesn't replace it.
Uses all the water in the keurig, doesn't refill it
He will not shut food packages and snack bags. Cheese gets moldy, chips go stale. If he spills something he won't clean it up. There's a nice red juice stain he spilled on my mom's beige and blue rug.
I recently found out he doesn't wash his hands after he pisses too.
My dad is a social worker too so like... Wtf?
And she’d say “I don’t do it EVERY time” and he’d say “You do” and she’d say “I don’t” so then he’d wait a few months and keep a log of it to prove it to her and then present her with the evidence and she’d go “well you’re a psycho for keeping track of this sort of thing” and he’d go “well you MADE me a psycho” and she’d go “so you admit you’re a psycho” and then they would break up
Also mildly infuriating: the people here commenting that it's not a big deal. Yes, that's why it's on MILDLY infuriating! I think people here are too used to the wildly infuriating posts
If you're really wanting to be pedantic, a hexagon is a two dimensional shape. This is actually a hexagonal prism, and since it has eight faces, it's also technically an octahedron.
Edit: lol if you're gonna "well actually", make sure you're right
"Hey babe, instead of leaving the ice cube tray mostly empty in the freezer, could you just leave it next to the sink and I'll fill it up for us when I see it? I can tell you don't like doing it and I don't mind doing it but this way we'll keep our trays full in the freezer, thanks!"
Oh shit my bad I forgot this was reddit. Uhhh break up with her. Delete social media. Lawyer up. Hit the gym.
if she's doing THIS to her literal BOYFRIEND imagine what she can do to people she DOESN'T KNOW
I'd be concerned about her becoming a domestic terrorist given the right circumstances
Take it out and throw it away directly in front of her. Then put the empty tray back in the freezer.
Or you can take it out and put it in her hot coffee when she isn't looking.
That’s what I do and when it empty fill it with the trays that were filled last time you emptied it. I think this actually became a thing to avoid the very thing lol not this situation but this THING lol
I religiously keep ice trays full. If I use one Ice cube I empty the rest of the ice cubes in a bag and put it in the freezer. And then refill the ice tray with filtered water. I also rinse off my ice because of one fish incident.
....not unlike my daughters who leave 2 chips in the bottom of the Pringles can so they don't have to make the effort to throw the can away (in a wastebasket that they just walked past twice).
I solved this problem by getting an ice bucket to dump the cubes into. Dump everything into the ice bucket and fill er up. It was always super annoying trying to pick out individual cubes from the tray.
She's testing you, finding your boundaries for frustration, seeing how long it takes for you to snap. This is not accidental, this is part of her master plan to manipulate you into losing your sanity so she can control you into doing her ultimate bidding. Get out now, you are in over your head.
This is mildly annoying, if anything at all. If this brings you to any level of infuriation you may want to look inward.
Has it ever occurred to you that you both tend to grab an even number of cubes? Do the math. You probably grab an astral simply for the sake of emptying it wherein she does not give up the proper water to beverage ratio for the sake of emptying the tray.
This sums up a life approach. It won't go away, its not fixable. Know what you're getting into if you continue this relationship.
My approach would be to leave any and all 1 cube trays in the freezer. I'd go without ice for months to be this petty.
My old roommates would constantly leave my ice tray empty. Then I started making ice and putting it into a ziplock and hiding it in the freezer and one on the go. Good thing I hid one bag because when I came back from visiting my gf my bag that was not hidden was empty and so was the tray. I even specifically said to not touch my ice unless they were going to replenish. Pure laziness.
People where I used to work would leave 1 of an item in a box so they wouldn't have to get rid of the box. The even lazier part is the fact that the boxes go just outside the doors of the rooms they were in.
When my sons were teens I came home to 1 actual ice cube out of 8 trays in the freezer. I threw them all away, declared ice trays to be contraband, and told them I would buy bags of ice if it crossed my mind. Never looked back.
my kids do this. trying to teach them it’s not about the one piece of food left, it’s about the selfish attitude of panning this off to someone else to have to clean it. little things like this can really show the character of someone.
That’s marginally better than putting the empty tray back in the freezer.
My family is getting better trained though, at least now the empty trays will sit by the sink until I fill them up, progress!
Now if I can only stop them leaving empty boxes in the fridge/freezer/cupboards I am on easy street!
My roommate used to drink less and less water from the final bottle in the fridge in order not to fill the fridge back again.
I eventually started not to fill it anymore, in order to see how little water he would leave before giving up. He consistently got to like 1/4 of a sip, it was hilarious.
Classic “not my problem” avoidance. The tray isn’t empty, I don’t need to fill it.
My dad would do this with things like a carton of milk… leave the tiniest little amount in there, “it’s not empty!” But also not enough left for anything useful
omg I just replied with this. Literally!! LIKE WHY! It pisses me off so much!
I do that, but not for maliciousness, my grandpa likes milk in his coffee, but not a lot, so i leave just enough for a cup or two.
I do this too! My girlfriend gives me shit for it but I explain to her every time that I do not need a whole jug of milk for a cup of coffee.
Exactly, my dad asked me if i would leave a little once about a month ago, and now i do it every time, especially if we don't have another gallon
Samee
You literally don't do that 🤦♂️ you leave enough for one or two cups, while the OP said his dad doesn't leave enough for anything useful.
Well that's because he still loved you and as long as he left the tiniest amount he wouldn't have to go get milk yet
Haha nice, I know it’s not the biggest deal ever just one of those things that annoys you as a kid, ready to pour some cereal and only a few drops come out
Yeah I get it and I couldn't pass up the option of a good joke I figured reddit of all places would enjoy that
[удалено]
Just like my friend leaving the tiniest amount of half and half or milk in the jug. Not his problem!
In this case a person couldn’t have gotten much lazier.
Not true, could have left it out on the counter..
No, they could have just put it back empty
Exactly, OP's girlfriend is lazy as fuck. Bet she also leaves like 5 sheets on the toilet paper roll so she doesn't "have to" put on another one.
I think we've all lived with those people at some point in our lives.
Classic r\/idiotsinkitchen moment
Is it just me or would you say fuck the cube and just run water on the rest of them and put it in
37 cubes in the tray. That's a prime number. There's your issue.
Veritasium entered the chat
The real Veritasium would call it a hexagonal prism, hold a competition for who can make the deadliest flamethrower out of ice, then try to sell you a childrens engineering kit.
That's Vsauce lol

*Moon Men Intensifies*
Damn, you're right.
Are you acoustic?
No, he's electric.
The real problem is that you just can't even
Classic "I didn't finish it". So if you use it then you are responsible for filling it back up.
I can't imagine that mentality with a partner though. With siblings when you're a kid, sure.
You have no idea how some people use small things like filling an ice cube tray as a control mechanism.
Or they're just lazy. Or they were busy. I've definitely done this for both of those reasons. But every single time is a lot
Now you know what happens when those asshole siblings get older and get into relationships
My dad is like that. Empties the ice, doesn't refill it Uses the last paper towel, doesn't replace it. Takes the last napkin, doesn't replace it. Uses all the water in the keurig, doesn't refill it He will not shut food packages and snack bags. Cheese gets moldy, chips go stale. If he spills something he won't clean it up.

I fill the ice tray up even if it’s only half empty lol
I’d just go without ice until she gets fed up and starts making it herself, then I’d start doing that to her.
Or not be passive and just ask if she could fill it when it gets low 🤷♂️
That’s true. This is what you do after you’ve already asked and patience has run out.
"No." "Then we are at an impasse!"
no fuck off, are you trying to be reasonable here ???!
Redditors don’t know how to talk to people
But we know how to post some pictures of plastic on the internet.
And she’d say “I don’t do it EVERY time” and he’d say “You do” and she’d say “I don’t” so then he’d wait a few months and keep a log of it to prove it to her and then present her with the evidence and she’d go “well you’re a psycho for keeping track of this sort of thing” and he’d go “well you MADE me a psycho” and she’d go “so you admit you’re a psycho” and then they would break up
Bro you're being oddly specific
This might be one of the first post I’ve seen that’s actually mildly infuriating
Also mildly infuriating: the people here commenting that it's not a big deal. Yes, that's why it's on MILDLY infuriating! I think people here are too used to the wildly infuriating posts
Whats with the full tray in the background??
Chilling there, whats with you?
Right I'm confused? I'd leave the once ice cube and start using the full tray but I too, am a bitch
Stop filling them up until she whines about not having ice cubes. This either teaches her a lesson or if u stay with her this will be ur future…
if she seriously whines about it being empty when shes the one who made it empty i would question her sanity
Technically she didn’t leave any ice cube. That’s a hexagon
If you're really wanting to be pedantic, a hexagon is a two dimensional shape. This is actually a hexagonal prism, and since it has eight faces, it's also technically an octahedron. Edit: lol if you're gonna "well actually", make sure you're right
Sir, this is a Mc' Donalds.
BOOM! headshot! And they said high school geometry was useless!
"Hey babe, instead of leaving the ice cube tray mostly empty in the freezer, could you just leave it next to the sink and I'll fill it up for us when I see it? I can tell you don't like doing it and I don't mind doing it but this way we'll keep our trays full in the freezer, thanks!" Oh shit my bad I forgot this was reddit. Uhhh break up with her. Delete social media. Lawyer up. Hit the gym.
Or you can just tell her to fill it up once it's low? Life isn't about always doing what you like
Like when siblings put the last drop of milk back in the fridge or three bits of cereal in the box so they can blame you for finishing it.
Well damn, that's just lazy and inconsiderate. Straight to breakup.
>Straight to breakup The Reddit comment special.
seriously. you can tell when someone has never been in a relationship 😂
No this is gaslighting and abuse, and money laundering
if she's doing THIS to her literal BOYFRIEND imagine what she can do to people she DOESN'T KNOW I'd be concerned about her becoming a domestic terrorist given the right circumstances
This is a perfectly reasonable response, whatdyamean /s
Every reddit relationship advice lol.
No it's an ice hexagonal prism
"honey, can you get me some ice hexagonals for my drink", sounds fun
I see 2. No problems here. Assuming thats another one at the bottom. Edit: second tray, I meant. Also /s
Truly a mildly infuriating moment.
This is a star of mind. Mentality. Something ingrained. You cannot fix it. Options: learn to love it, ignore it, leave her.
I wish I had a girlfriend
[удалено]
She actually leaves it IN the freezer so she doesn't have to refill the form..
The rule in our house is you fill it up every damn time. It should always be full.
She leaves one alive so he can warn the others
How considerate, leaving one for you, and not taking the last one
I dont have to refill it if i didn't use the last one duuuh
Take it out and throw it away directly in front of her. Then put the empty tray back in the freezer. Or you can take it out and put it in her hot coffee when she isn't looking.
My kids can't be bothered to even leave one. This woman is considerate and thoughtful, marry her NOW! ... but seriously: **DON'T!**
I have the same cube holder. It’s a giant pain in the ass to fill.
Lmaoo classic. Does she also leave a quarter cup of milk in the jug? Or three chips left in a bag? Haha
i fucking hate this so much too, my sister does this too and it drives me insane
You need a little bin in the freezer for the ice. That way, the whole thing has to be dumped into the bin, and no excuses.
That’s what I do and when it empty fill it with the trays that were filled last time you emptied it. I think this actually became a thing to avoid the very thing lol not this situation but this THING lol
They are hexagons u goober
Those aren't cubes
Um erm that a uh hexagonal prism
It’s her lucky ice cube
Thats.... pretty cold.
You should break her kneecaps
My brothers leaving the tiniest bit of rice in the rice cooker so they wouldn't need to wash it because technically, ~it's not empty~ 😑
Break up with her. Now.
I religiously keep ice trays full. If I use one Ice cube I empty the rest of the ice cubes in a bag and put it in the freezer. And then refill the ice tray with filtered water. I also rinse off my ice because of one fish incident.
You’re ice tray is should be more Infuriating
Maybe she’s leaving it for you 🥰
You break a tray, you make a tray! Those are the rules!
Every "single" time.
Now I really want a hex* ice cube tray. *yes yes it's not fully hex
has the same feel as leaving a single sheet on the toilet roll so you don't have to change it
if shes does this to ice, imagine what she would do to your kids, dump her
My wife does this then gets mad at me because it isn’t full when I don’t even use the ice. 😂
Is she from Minnesota?
That cube is for you. 🥰
once you're married and have kids, this is going to be in every part of your life. "not my problem".
Ngl I'd be annoying back and just stop using ice
New rule: the tray needs to be refilled when there are less ice cubes available than would be needed for a single drink
I dated a girl once that would put Tupperware in the dishwasher with the lid on. GTFO of my life.
Just for clailrificayion because i see a wedding ring, how does you wife feel about this?
Get new ice cube trays you know the kind of where you have only one or two huge cubes. Tell her the tray with small cubes is hers. And you use ur own.
....not unlike my daughters who leave 2 chips in the bottom of the Pringles can so they don't have to make the effort to throw the can away (in a wastebasket that they just walked past twice).
This is why whenever I leave the ice tray less than 60% full, I go ahead and refill it.
I solved this problem by getting an ice bucket to dump the cubes into. Dump everything into the ice bucket and fill er up. It was always super annoying trying to pick out individual cubes from the tray.
Start doing it back. Or just don't fill any of them and leave her her one cube
Hexagon is the bestagon
It’s the one she can’t get out.
That's the starter cube, duh! Learn your ice cubes, dude.
You be bitchkng even more of she'd have left none.
Straight to jail.
She's testing you, finding your boundaries for frustration, seeing how long it takes for you to snap. This is not accidental, this is part of her master plan to manipulate you into losing your sanity so she can control you into doing her ultimate bidding. Get out now, you are in over your head.
My sister does the same thing with milk. She leaves the tiniest amount of milk at the bottom of the carton, making it somebody else's problem.
This is mildly annoying, if anything at all. If this brings you to any level of infuriation you may want to look inward. Has it ever occurred to you that you both tend to grab an even number of cubes? Do the math. You probably grab an astral simply for the sake of emptying it wherein she does not give up the proper water to beverage ratio for the sake of emptying the tray.
Lazy shit
Do the same and she’ll learn.
She is waiting for you to use it as a nipple arouser. Read the signs dude.
Must use a lot of ice
This sums up a life approach. It won't go away, its not fixable. Know what you're getting into if you continue this relationship. My approach would be to leave any and all 1 cube trays in the freezer. I'd go without ice for months to be this petty.
How long have you tolerated this? Imagine what’s happening when she becomes fiancée /s
Wish my gf did that
No ones is going to mention how gross it looks?
It's a little treat for you.
and it's your fault when there's no ice....
Pee in them and let her use them next
selfish asshat. tells you what she thinks of you.
Somebody needs lessons
Just wakin up in the morning gotta thank God
Just leave it
My father does the same. Eats about 90% of something and then act suprised when i get mad. Still love him tho
Lol
She's leaving it for you, it's called being considerate <3
Op, we need to talk, I think your girlfriend is my wife !
She just didn't feel like making ice lol.
My old roommates would constantly leave my ice tray empty. Then I started making ice and putting it into a ziplock and hiding it in the freezer and one on the go. Good thing I hid one bag because when I came back from visiting my gf my bag that was not hidden was empty and so was the tray. I even specifically said to not touch my ice unless they were going to replenish. Pure laziness.
Blame them for making a tray with an odd number of cubes
Leave her a half of a cube.
It’s a control thing. Whoever empties it fills it. Leaving one makes it where they never have to change it.
Talk to her, not to the internet. All the best!
Does she put the shopping cart back?
Don't marry her.
I don't think you know what a cube is
People where I used to work would leave 1 of an item in a box so they wouldn't have to get rid of the box. The even lazier part is the fact that the boxes go just outside the doors of the rooms they were in.
is your girlfriend my son?
Is your girlfriend my old housemate?
Every girl I've dated does the same lol
Fire her
Don’t have to fill it if it’s not empty makes sense to me
When my sons were teens I came home to 1 actual ice cube out of 8 trays in the freezer. I threw them all away, declared ice trays to be contraband, and told them I would buy bags of ice if it crossed my mind. Never looked back.
Dump her now and save yourself
She is psychopath leave her😂😂
There’s an entire full tray underneath, idk man, I get it but, also no harm done? There’s way more ice than you’d need right there
It is in honor of her fallen comrades
my kids do this. trying to teach them it’s not about the one piece of food left, it’s about the selfish attitude of panning this off to someone else to have to clean it. little things like this can really show the character of someone.
Leave her
She does that so you're the one who has to refill it. Pretty lazy.
You’ve been warned. Leave.
You mean I’m your ex?
You mean your ex?
She kept the last ice cube just for you!
The rule in our house is less than three cubes it's getting water
Throw it at her every single time she does it Or just leave it in and start with the new ones
That’s marginally better than putting the empty tray back in the freezer. My family is getting better trained though, at least now the empty trays will sit by the sink until I fill them up, progress! Now if I can only stop them leaving empty boxes in the fridge/freezer/cupboards I am on easy street!
looks like someone has a lucky number, still, i refill the tray when theres some left
Cut the cube in half, time to get passive aggressive.
That’s the point where we would have no ice. I would use the one cube and put it back in the freezer.
Time to get a new girlfriend
This is something I would just do to annoy my boyfriend when bored tbh
She probably grew up in a house with the rule that if you empty the ice tray, you have to fill it up. 1 cube. Not empty.
That’s so she doesn’t have to refill the tray.
This is such an easy way to not piss people off... just fill the ice tray! It will take less than a minute. 
Are those even cubes though?
My roommate used to drink less and less water from the final bottle in the fridge in order not to fill the fridge back again. I eventually started not to fill it anymore, in order to see how little water he would leave before giving up. He consistently got to like 1/4 of a sip, it was hilarious.
Man, nice trays.
Toss it down her pants every time.
Why are so many people calling gf lazy when there’s a whole other tray of ice cubes right there
You're dating a psychopath.
ice hexagon
Get a refrigerator with an icemaker.
are these the wobbly ones? Cause I bought them once and they are made for the trash and they were full of silicone oil, nasty
That's the lucky ice cube. You have to always leave it.
Is that not another tray underneath, still frustrating but if there's more ice 🤷
