My dp seems to be OK opening the box, but like @BlackAmericanoNoSugars's 14 yo, he ruins the bag... This is a 28 year old man!

I love respect the tag! I am going to use that myself.

DH is the king of not opening things properly.

Opens boxes from the bottom.

Any kind of packaging that says 'open here' well i guarantee it, it won't be opened there.

Packet of tissues instead of lifting the sticker from the side he will rip the packet open from top or bottom

Same with wipes. He claims he can never find the sticker thing to pull it open so he rips the pack. Needless to say that he might as well have thrown them straight in the bin. The wipes end up all dry! -and it gives me the rage- Angry

Every time now he takes hold of a pack of wipes i shout like a madwoman 'peel it back! Peel it back! Do NOT rip!'

A moment of silence for all the wipes that never made it. May you find the wetness you were denied in this life.

One of my kids said this morning that someone has opened the cereal box from the bottom. I haven't dared look yet. Shock

What opened that box? A coyote?

@Queenfreak

My husband inexplicably opens cereal from the bottom. I have no idea why and it makes me feels so irritable!

Have my first LTB Grin

Watching my mother open a bag of Maltesers always brings to mind this quote

I open things like that myself before putting away: cut top off with scissors (no flappy bits thank you) and clip on the bag.

Lol! I told my 9 year old DS off this morning for ripping the new cereal box apart - if I can’t use the neat tab on the top it’s full on OCD disaster! Another one who really wants to see the marg please! Grin

Are you sure it was your 2 year old and not my 12 year old? They seem to have an extremely similar MO...

I'm glad you all enjoyed this so much. I'll wake him up from his nap and get him to do his worst to the marg while trying to make his own jam sandwich, and then post the results. Hold on...!
