Just open it properly FFS

[PseudoBadger]

Does anyone else live with somebody with a pathological inability to open containers fully? For example lifting the foil top off the milk but not removing it properly and then it drips. Or opening the top of a box of tissues but not removing the cardboard bit. Same for butter in a plastic tub and leaving the foil top on it.

No but I do have a husband who can’t shut a door properly behind him, ie the front door - went out for the afternoon a couple of weeks ago and he didn’t just not lock the house, the entire front door was left open. He can’t shut a cupboard door or wardrobe door either!

Just shut it properly FFS.

Oh and he takes the foil top off the milk properly but leaves it on the bunker. If I tell him to put it in the bucket, he will but he then doesn’t shut the lid!

DH leaves the paper bit on the butter. He lifts it to get what he needs then pits it back down. It stays like that until I take it off. And he leave every cupboard / drawer open in the kitchen.

Mine can’t close cupboard drawers or clean the toilet after himself! Yesterday I cleaned the toilet 4 times before I used it!

My bil cant close a cupboard properly. Every time he comes here he leaves them ajar. I'm convinced he does it on purpose.

Shit, I think I do this

Mine doesn't close doors properly and often leaves the front door open or unlocked

Nah. Very proud that even my 5 yr old DD does everything properly such as opening and closing doors, bottles etc. Even if she sees a freezer door ajar in a supermarket, she will go and close it.

I think the margarine is best if you leave the foil/paper top on.

Mine can close a door alright....one day it'll come off it's hinges or the glass in the car door will shatter into a thousand pieces....just shut the fucking thing don't slam it like a moody teen.

I thought you were meant to leave the foil on...

DH can open things properly but not close them. He doesn't twist lids back on, so when you go to pick up a jar or bottle, the lid just falls off. He leaves press doors open.

DD has never, in all of her 9.5 years, closed her wardrobe doors. Not once.

Yes!!! And rather than use the specific opening he’ll just rip a package open haphazardly which then renders it almost impossible to use without spillages everytime. Drives me mad 😡

I have a ds who cannot close ANYTHING

It's infuriating.

Cupboards, drawers, doors.

Mine just about manages to tease the opening apart a few millimetres on all perishables such as butter, cheese, milk, etc.

But is pathologically incapable of both resealing and replacing in the fridge.

If I wanted room temperature milk, I'd heat the stuff in the fucking microwave. If I wanted a rancid puddle of butter, I'd buy an out of date tub of ghee and keep it on the countertop. And if I wanted sweaty, slimy cheese or a side of e coli with my bresaola or pate, I'd arrange it myself.

But no, seems like every fucking thing has to be rendered inedible or unsafe by leaving it out to act as a growth medium for bacteria and mould.

It wouldn't seem so bad if these were things he actually ate, but the fucker hardly eats a thing that isn't from a packet labelled Haribo or Pringles.

And he always, always, leaves my G&T or German beers out to get to room temperature. If I wanted drinks the temperature of warm piss, I could sort that one out by myself. I've got a fucking expensive fridge with plenty of room in it mainly because I keep on having to throw so much out. Use the cunting thing.

Closing cupboards and leaving items on the edge of the bench. As someone who grew up in a earthquake zone this makes my teeth itch. Granted inner London is not prone to quakes but it's difficult to ignore years of training

My husband is a random ripper too, you can never tell where the opening will be. We have a son who can't open anything, Christmas Day is fun. Birthday cards used were a torment.

What is it with not closing cupbo doors. My DP is the same. He leaves them slightly ajar and it makes the kitchen look awful.

Yes he is also a random packet ripper. THE SCISSORS ARE RIGHT THERE.
And he never shuts a bedroom drawer

I have a receipt leaver and can guarantee he'll empty a pocket about 5 mins after I've finished doing some tidying, cue random little bits of paper being left strewn around the house. It's ruined a few Christmas and Birthday surprises because of it too as I always check whether it's an important receipt before I throw it away.

I might start collating them in a jar and then present them to him annually for Christmas until he starts learning to throw them in the fucking bin!

It took me 3 years to nag get DP to shut cupboard doors. He started leaving drawers open instead.
Sorted the drawer issue....He started leaving the back door open
Then the wardrobes
Then the back gate
Revisited the cupboard doors
And now we're back on drawers.

There is something in his head that compels him to leave something open. Its what will finally make me snap

@MitziK sorry but 😩🤣🤣

We have a communal butter at work which I cannot use due to severe rage
a) people leaving on the foil
b) people gouging out chunks instead of scraping off in nice neat lines

The rage

I may leave the cover on the spreadable butter, but only if there is a competition or something on it that DH may be interested in so he can get the code before it goes in the bin.

I am so glad DH does not do any of those as I could not cope with those, especially the foil left on the milk. Making me feel annoyed just thinking about it!

Don't you use the foil/paper on top of the butter for greasing?
Is that just me?
@Pyjamaface is it psychologically an escape route

@nowlook You might be on to something

I can't even talk about the milk tops, or the butter or the toilet roll. Its scars me deeply
