OptOut | 8,892 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 What the fuck guys. Seriously. How and why and where the FUCK do all the lids for tupperware boxes go?! You got like, say, 10 tupperware boxes in a kitchen cupboard, and you got 10 lids in there. Sounds perfect right? WRONG! You grab a couple boxes and you grab a couple lids, one of em fits and the other is the wrong size and you're like, ok... So you get another lid out, and another, and another, and NONE of them are the right size for the second box! So, you're thinking to yourself, fine, I'll grab a lid and try match it up with one of the boxs... You just made the dumbest fucking assumption of your life, you can't fit that fucking lid on ANYTHING! By the end of mixing and matching lids, out of ten boxes and ten lids, you'll have maybe 2 boxes that are too small for anything with perfectly matching lids, you'll have one GIANT one you can never fit in the freezer with a lid, and then you'll have MAYBE one or two that are the right size with matching lids and then a whole PILE of fucking lids that don't match shit and boxes that you can't find lids for!!! At a certain point, you just give up and chuck ALL the fucking tubs away, and get a whole new perfect set with matching lids and everything... And then a week later you go to use one, and you CAN'T FIND A FUCKING LID TO FIT!!!!!!!  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,345 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 They have a secret clubhouse where they hang out with missing socks and sundry items such as tape measures, nail clippers and utility knives.......... Either that or a remote extension of the Bermuda Triangle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,839 Events Team · Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Your coworkers stole them. To match up with all of their unmatched Tupperware. Just bring em to work and trade em out as you can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,593 Editorials Team · Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 They're hiding in a hole, along with 17 of our kids' "right hand" gloves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,738 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This is why I don't have different sizes of tupperware nor different colors and styles of socks. Throw everything out and do NOT get an assorted set, get a full complement of identical containers. Or socks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I had the same thing happen a few days ago. All of the lids that were too small were in a neat stack right next two the bowls, but somehow the two larger ones that I needed were buried in the very back of the cabinet with no reasonable explanation as to how they got there.

PII | 1,899 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I have a formerly top TOP secret system for avoiding this most obnoxious of realities.  After I'm done using a given bowl I wash it out, dry it out and then place the cover back on the bowl before putting it away.  It's a nearly flawless system.  The only shortcoming is -other human beings who shirk the system.  Could prob. be solved by some sort of additional Incentive VS punishment system.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 2,995 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Ikea's tupperware style boxes has like five different sizes, but only two size lids which are very distinctly different. They even work with the glass variants. Never a problem again, they all match like you want to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
