How To Fill Ice Cube Trays
October 22, 2005 by NML
When I lived with my ex, I often walked into the kitchen in the mornings and was seething within seconds because there was an empty ice cube tray sitting on the counter or in the sink, languishing for my attention. It happened frequently and in almost two years of being together, he never once refilled the bloody thing and put it back in the freezer, which begs the question:
Who the hell did he think was refilling it and putting it back in the freezer?
The ice cube fairy? His non-existent housewife? His maid?
I thought it was just me, yet almost every woman that cohabits complains of the same thing. In our minds it seems like such a simple task, but for men there appears to be a mental block that occurs when there are no cubes left. I really don’t deny that men are intelligent, but I’m hard pushed to think of a reason why a man is incapable of doing something so easy that could save him a hell of a lot of grief.
Are they just house-thick, or are they lazy mo-fo’s? Or is it because that the brain in the boxer shorts can’t compute with an ice cube tray and only deals in female body parts?
This is a foolproof guide to filling ice cube trays for every man out there that struggles with this ‘monumental task’. When the male brain is engaging (top one, not the one in the boxers) it will become ice cub clear that learning this will make his life so much easier.
The f*ck up occurs when a man goes to make his drink, opens the freezer, takes the ice cube tray out and realises that it is almost empty. The brain must engage here and this moment is key. Instead of thinking: “The tray’s almost empty. {blank empty space which culminates in the tray ending up in the sink} I hope X remembers to refill it”, there needs to be a complete about turn in thinking.
Reprogramme your brain boys and say to yourself, repeatedly:
“The ice cube tray is empty. It needs to be refilled. It doesn’t do this itself. I must do it. I am strong.”
And then, and I know that this is hard, but do the following:
