: While I was discussing past relationships with a friend she used a saying I was not familiar with. She said, "I should have told him where to stack his empties!" She said the expression meant that she should have spoken up when she was displeased with his behavior. My question is, what is the origin of this saying? Thanks for reading and looking forward to any explanation.

I don't know. But it makes me think of the empty beer can pyramids from college days.
