AIBU?
to think you shouldn't use the last slice of bread before checking if there is any more?

Dh this morning finished the loaf before I'd had chance to make ds' packed lunch. He's in a right huff with me because I then had to tear down to the corner shop to buy more and made him 5 mins late for work.
p.s I don't eat bread and there was 1/2 a loaf when I made ds' sandwiches yesterday so I assumed there would be enough for today.

YANBU to be annoyed that he was annoyed that you had to get down to the shops!
To stop it happening again, and assuming you have space, keep a few loaves in the freezer, then you always have bread. When you get down to the last 10 slices, take the next loaf out of the freezer. I've currently got 4 loaves in the freezer, precisely because I got so sick of always finding out that the bread bin was empty! Same with milk. Got a cupboard with 12 bottles of longlife milk in it. I got so sick of Himself using the last of the milk and then PUTTING THE EMPTY CONTAINER BACK IN THE FRIDGE AND NOT SAYING ANYTHING!! 6am, I go to make a cuppa - empty bottle. 
and my airing cupboard currently has in it a wholesale pack of some 80 loo rolls, but that's another story

YANBU
I think the OP's issue is with thoughtlessness and the lack of mental responsibility some men take with their DC.
Woman finds loaf is running low and thinks 'best save that the DC will need packed lunch'. Man in same scenario thinks 'great there is some bread left, yum'
LOL

If you don't have a big enough freezer and don't want to make the sarnies the night before, maybe stash sufficient bread in a separate bag that your DH knows is sacrosanct?
Now DD has started Food Tech, I've realised I'll have to do some stashing or labelling to ensure DH doesn't - in all innocence - eat a vital ingredient!

Send them to school dinners. packed lunches for kids are a mugs game. If I did do them I'd make the kids make their sandwiches the night before.
1 slice of bread isn't going to be enough for 2 kids' sandwiches anyway.
Agree lack of bread is the problem here, who ate the last slice is irrelevent.

Irritating yes, but, as someone pointed out, that's what freezers are for.
Oh - and I get very incensed when someone puts and empty container of anything back in the fridge/cupboard. Why would you do that? Why???
Especially when it's my favourite Ainsley Harriot Thai Aromatic Lemongrass Chicken cup-a-soup which I take for lunch at work!!
My anger disappointment when this happens is a intense!!
Not that I'm a creature of habit or anything!

I would make sandwiches the night before. Alternatively my SIL freezes sandwiches each weekend - I've never done it but she swears it works. Obviously you're restricted in what you can put in, but bread / cheese / ham is apparently OK and you can prepare well in advance.

He made himself a full sandwich so there was 2 slices. I do usually have a freezer full of bread so to be fair dh probably assumed there would be another loaf in there. I would always check before finishing a loaf/bottle of milk etc but dh wouldn't dream of it.

The things my dh puts away empty or very nearly empty:
- paracetemol and nurophen - he uses all the tablets but leaves the empty packaging in the medicine cupboard.
- Milk - he leaves 1/2 cm at the bottom of the bottle and says "I didn't take it all"
- Loo Roll - he leaves 3 sheets on the roll but doesn't get another one out.
- Bread - he leaves 1 slice, again saying "I didn't eat it all"
- Yoghurt - he will eat the yoghurt but leave 1 or 2, but we have 3 dc so it ends up in a row
Actually the list is endless. Bloody men!
Not that I hold a grudge you understand!
