Kraft, from a box, because my daughter wanted it for lunch. The whiskers in the sink, stuck to the shaving cream and solidified were so gross. He left doors and drawers open all the time. His dresser was on my side of the bed and he'd leave one drawer open, right at shin level. I went to bed after him so I'd sneak in, trying to be quiet and WHAM, right in the shin.

You said he lived at home until he was 30, right? It's not that surprising that he was used to being taken care of, was used to being enabled and didn't know how (or cared) to do things himself.
Seriously, younger ladies, learn this lesson -- if you meet a man who still lives with his momma well into (or past) his 20s, either run or expect to take care of him hand and foot. And moms with boys, please train them to be independent or at least do him (and the future women in his life) the favor of kicking his lazy behind out when he's grown and can take care of himself.
