DH just put his hand into the cornflakes box

[WinkyTinky]

And scooped out three handfuls to put in a bowl, rather than pour them out of the box into the bowl. Is it just me or is this absolutely nuts????

Crunchy nuts

It's just you.

Unless he's just had his hand down his pants or doesn't wash his hands after going to the toilet, chill.

I do that for (some) cereal! But the pack I've got is soft packaging, not boxed, so it rips easily once you get it open and trying to pour it to the bowl would make the pouring hard to control easily and result in spillage.

I always find that pouring leads to too many coming out at once and having to scoop them back in. I wouldn’t have an issue with a family member doing this. You live together. Presumably kiss and stuff. Any germs he’s got, you’ve got already. This kind of stuff just doesn’t even blip on my radar of things to worry about.

Yes... it's you.

LTB!!

I thought you were going to say he pulled out a rabbit!

Can't get worked up about that

Someone will be soon enough though.

That's weird. Why didnt he pour it into the bowl??

You're nuts. This is perfectly fine.

I do that all the time. It’s easier than pouring.

Unless his hands are dirty, get a life !

Not everyone is a 'pourer'.... we aren't all the same

Interesting thoughts 🤔 It had just never crossed my mind to do it that way.

The fact he never bothers washing his hands is another issue....

Nobody got ill from the cereal in the years you've been together?

In my house he'd be welcome to the cornflakes because I don't like them. Otherwise I'd class it as odd. I've never met anyone who doesn't pour their cereal out.

I'm always eating cereal straight out of the box with my hands 😳

My mother only ever did what you are describing. She did wash hands assiduously though.

Non issue

I think you need to concentrate on the not washing his hands.
My dh get through lots of liquid soap because he washes his hands regularly.

Maybe he was looking for the toy?

I do that, but I am the only eater of cornflakes in my house. I wouldn't do it at someone else's house. It's just easier to get the right quantity without spilling cornflakes.

We always did that as kids to get to the free toy at the bottom.

I'd say something because it's not on to put your hands into shared food like that. I live alone & don't do that, it's not good to introduce germs/bacteria into food that will be eaten over a period of time.

but 'absolutely nuts' it's not.

Are you worried that he’s displaying cereal killer traits?

Do you never eat cereal from the box? Weirdo! 😜
