I used to have 3 hammers....now my wife asks me if I’ve seen “her” hammer....sigh...I wouldn’t mind if she’d just put things back....if I did that in her kitchen I’d be at the end of the driveway come nightfall....
**************************************************************************************
I have that trouble with Hubby only reversed. He almost never puts things back, and then wastes hrs. looking for them. So I bought a few things—hammer, screwdriver with storage in handle for different types, etc.

A few years ago, there was a real problem with thermos bottles for coffee. I found a Stanley thermos in hot pink, cause I figured he wouldn’t nab it and take it out on the job. It worked.

I’m still looking for a ladies pink handled tool kit with a drill etc. Scissors-just bought 2 pair—they always walk off. So Sat. and Sun Hubby was cleaning up his “man cave” and he found 7 pairs. LOL

The yard is dangerous, cause rakes, shovels etc. are just left where ever he used them last. Sometimes I buy things like tape measures and hide them, and don’t tell that I have them.

I will say he at least makes an effort with my screwdriver, since he never knows where his is, and He wants to be able to use it without searching for it. LOL

Might/might not work:

"Before you sit down after your crafty work: Please go back & check & make certain you put the tools where they go. It will save you stress & bother searching all over for them later. It will save me hearing you fuss about not finding them."

A guy I work with has many different tools. He fixes every sort of thing such as machines, doors, chairs, including computers. He is just very handy.

He has a set of tools that is often left about that has pink handles on everything. The hammer, screwdrivers, wrenches, Pliars, all of it covered in that pink stuff. Nothing ever seems to be missing.

Funny how we associate color with gender though.
