Idiot Son Just Trying To Help Gets Mum’s Secret And Highly Specific Sorting System Wrong

While home for the holidays, George Wilkinson (30) thought he might try to show his mum that he wasn’t a “useless so and so” and actually helpful grown man by unpacking the dishwasher, without being asked.

An excellent gesture in theory, but what Wilkinson didn’t account for was his mother’s highly specific sorting system that only she knows about.

“George, did you put the rectangle tupperware in this drawer?” she said accusingly, then huffed her way over to another cupboard “they belong over here, with the other rectangles.”

“Ugh! And where are my silicone spatulas? What are they doing with the metal ones?” Huffed the sixty-five-year-old.

At this point Wilkinson decided to eject himself from the situation, making up an excuse to leave the house and find his father – likely to sympathise with the man, and apologise for giving him a hard time for not helping mum in the kitchen more, because clearly it is an impossible endeavour.

More to come.
