Who’s Going to Empty the Trashcan?
Twitter user TheCatWhisprer tells us marriage means more than saying “I do” to love and companionship. You’re also committing to a lifetime of “who’s going to empty the bathroom trashcan” chicken.
This is a subtle test of wills, a domestic duel that somehow never gets old. And it makes sense because couples often engage in “demand-withdraw” patterns, where one nags and the other avoids. So, the trashcan standoffs might be an enduring, low-stakes version of this dance where it’s less about the trash and more about testing limits.
