Soaps and lotion commotion.

Just curious, for you happily married folks.

How many different soaps and lotions does your bride keep on hand on any given moment?

I swear my invested monies in these products are rivaling my ammo total.

Soaps for dry skin, soaps for oily skin, soaps for dry hair, curly hair, bad hair, colored hair.
Soaps for faces only, soaps for feet only.

It's getting plumb out of hand. Shoot! That reminds me, we have hand soaps too.

Some soaps are just to look at! What the hell is that even about? Oh, and did you know this bullchite, those "hand towels" hanging on the oven handle?? It's all a scam, flat out lie, DO NOT use those to dry your hands off after changing the belt on the zero turn.

And then there is the lotion commotion. Lights out time to get Marvin Gaye playing in my book, but hold on Nelly, now she needs to do the lotion commotion delay stall tactics. Oh, and not just lotion, SEVERAL lotions. One for the face, one for the feet, one for oily skin, one for "winters itch" whatever the hell that even is.

Sorry.............
Just watching my retirement being postponed by the "soaps and lotions" expense column of the family P&L

That is a subject I don’t interfere with.

My wife's a retired hair dresser. You wouldn't believe the amount of professional grade stuff she has on hand.

I don't know but it is a significant amount.

On the bright side I have a lifetime supply of cans of hair cleaning products because if she does not like them she gives them to me or the boys. I have no idea what criteria she uses to evaluate, they all work the same to me.

Never thought about it

I'm with you there too.
I combine them all in one bottle to save space in the shower.

I usually show up for work smelling like a mixture of sunshine and lilac with a hint of strawberry kiwi and whipped cream.
The girls in the office seem to like it.

The deer during season have not flipping idea what they smell in the stand.

Just don't mention shoes.

And that's why an ideal house has separate his and hers bathrooms.

LOL, wait until she discovers essential oils...

One of each.

Or purses!

I rarely go into a store with her because it's such a process. However, if you do, watch how they go about selecting these products. They go around and open the bottles and smell it.

I figured out shopping with women sucked at about age 5. I’d run away and hide in the clothes racks just to fugk up the “process”. 😂

Men know what they want before they even park at the store. Sometimes I’ve decided a week or more ahead of time what I’m buying .Women drive around 17 minutes looking for the perfect parking spot then go inside. They walk up every fugking aisle and look at about 30% of the stuff in each area of the store. Smell it, touch it, talk smack to it. You’re hungry and pissed off after 6 hours of that schidt . That doesn’t even count going back to each department so they can decide whether or not they actually want the cart full of stuff they asked to be put on hold in the back. Then stuff all that schidt in the trunk or SUV.

I'm quite fortunate on the soaps and lotions front. Around here it's more dietary supplements.

Yeah, then after they look at half the schit in the store, they go back and buy the first thing that they looked at.

Don’t ask, don’t tell; goes both ways.

Or leave in back of the SUV to be moved in and out for the next 6 weeks until it's returned.

I got 1 draw & half the cabinet, so I'm good !

I don't go there.

I never look unless I’m in the shower blind as fuqk w/o my glasses

+30 to 1...

Just live with it, brother. It’s why they don’t smell like us. Our shower looks like a hair are/skincare museum. If that makes her happy, don’t interfere. It could be worse.

Always some new cshit in there, face scrubs, conditioner, shampoo, ain’t no end to it. If it makes her happy, I could care less!!!

Last year, there were 4 females in my house. 2 teenagers, one pre-teen and my wife.

The teenagers have their own shared shower, but they don't use it, they use ours. There are 38 bottles of something in the shower at all times.

I've starting throwing one or two kinda empty ones away every week. The number doesn't seem to change.

I've jettisoned one daughter. The number hasn't decreased.
