So does the SIXAXIS just randomly turn on to drain battary life?

A battery left alone out in the wild will lose its charge. Without going into specific details as to why, I would recomend you try putting them in the fridge when not in use. This will slow the natural drain on the batteries.

 I can't tell if you're being serious or not.  If you are, that's kind of wierd and I wanna know why that helps.  :-p

And plus, I think the fiance would have questions if she saw my PS3 controller sitting next to the milk. 

The electricity from all batteries is generated by a chemical reaction. The specific type of reaction varies with different types of batteries but that is not really anything to get too concerned with right now. Eventually the reaction completes itself and the battery dies. Using the batteries speeds this process up a ton but it happens on its own regardless of use. Putting the batteries (or in this case the whole controller) in a colder environment (this case the fridge/freezer) causes the reaction to slow down considerably.
