These stories are hilarious!
When my dh puts something away, he simply chooses the first empty spot, he sees. For instance, I'll decide I want cereal for breakfast, so take box from pantry. When I return the box to the pantry, there's likely to be a bottle of syrup, in its place (bear in mind, the syrup was also in the pantry, before he used it . . . and NOT in that cereal spot). He seldom puts something away, in the same spot, twice. Years ago, he kept misplacing his tools, so would borrow mine . . . and then misplace them, also. For years, I kept a lock on my toolbox, so that I'd know when he borrowed something (he had to ask).
