That’s me on Thanksgiving. Don’t come in & sit at the table smiling & want to socialize. Heck no! I’m busy & now since I’m old I can’t multitask anymore so don’t want to burn the food. Get outta my kitchen.
Being a good, non-cooking kitchen person is a real skill. You gotta know where to stand, when to move, what say, you're expected to keep an eye on things, but if you notice my pot boiling over just turn it down, I've got meat hands...jeez!
We call them stirring the food on the stove “fluffing”. I randomly yell from another part of the house, “stop fluffing my stew” or whatever I’m cooking. Even as adults my kids think I have super powers and can see through walls. 😂
My husband suddenly finds the kitchen after being absent from it all day & AS SOON as I cook dinner, he not only stands in front of EVERY drawer, he manages 2 block EVERY cupboard, the sink, hob & the fridge..🙄🤯🤷🏻♀️
That’s my wife and her mom. It’s uncanny how they always stand exactly where I need to go. It’s why this weekend, I let them cook when it’s usually me. At least I stay out of the kitchen if I’m not cooking.
Opposite in my household, my partner is the far superior cook and I'm always the one in his way or I'm washing things I assume he is done with. It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me.
Once you get into that drawer, grab the wooden spoon, and whack him on the head every time he stands in your way. He'll eventually get the message.... hopefully. You're welcome. 😂😂😂

He: *immediately enters kitchen, pulls ice cube tray out of freezer, gets glass, loads it with ice, pours 3/4 shot of bourbon, stands there sipping it*
Or you have the smallest kitchen in the world but right in the middle of cooking dinner is the appropriate time to clear out the coffee machine and get it ready for the morning (my eye is twitching as I’m typing this).
This is why everyone gets kicked out of the kitchen when I'm cooking. If they want to chat, they can sit at the island and talk... but stay out of the way. 😂
Or look for something but take almost everything out of the drawer and replace it so the potato masher is exactly in the spot that will make the drawer never open again without intervention from a chainsaw!
I love when they bring family members in to competition shows and you see the chefs struggle to balance their competitive perfectionism with not being a jerk to their loved ones.
Better: a cooking competition where contestants make whatever they want but my wife wanders around the kitchen and moves the utensil I need that was here just a moment ago…
Seriously, what is that all about? For some reason, when I'm in the kitchen all of a sudden my husband finds a need to be in the kitchen right in my way. And gets mad when I leave the kitchen so he can finish whatever it is he absolutely had to do. Ugh!
My husband will do one of three things. Put things away in the correct spot, chase me down to ask where a thing goes, or randomly decide where things go. And I never know which one it's gonna be. It's never the fourth option of staying the hell out of my kitchen though, for a fact.

Me: I AM GOING TO MAKE SUPPER NOW.
He: *immediately enters kitchen, pulls ice cube tray out of freezer, gets glass, loads it with ice, pours 3/4 shot of bourbon, stands there sipping it*
Me: *cooking furiously*
He: *stands at counter talking about everything that ever happened to him until I beg him to save it for dinner table*
Dinner table: *he eats in almost total silence*
