There's nothing like a domestic to-do list for causing arguments in any serious relationship. Living with another person can be a nightmare, and that's before you start taking into account who takes the trash out. Finding a way of doing things that fits both of you can take a lot of effort, especially with something as particular as buying the groceries. It is such a common predicament that when TikTok account @adamxmelinda satirized this phenomenon it went instantly viral.

In the video, Melinda shows viewers how she puts together a shopping list r her husband by painstakingly cutting out pictures of the products she wants and gluing them to the list.

After the success of the first TikTok, Melinda added a follow up with even more detail. This time, the list included brand names, amounts and even what aisle to find things in.

This too was a hit, but it inspired some heated debate. Although many were grateful for the chance to complain about the incompetence of their partner, others found the premise of the joke worrying. There was a light at the end of the tunnel, though: some pointed out that even if the list wasn't real, it might actually be a useful idea for people other than hapless husbands.
