To have raged at DP over the biscuits?

[BlazingHooves]

I have told him over and over again that biscuits need to be kept in air-tight containers once they're open or they go stale. Or at least wrapped back up in their wrapper. Seriously, over and over again. The other night I make us both a drink and sit down on the evening and he says "oo why don't we have those lovely Ginger biscuits we got from the tea man?" I agreed. He runs off to get them and they're bloody soft and taste weird. I say "what the hell is up with these? they're gross!" and he says "yeah they have gone a bit soggy but they're still ok" - how the fuck are they still ok if they're STALE?? I got pissed off with him as they were expensive biscuits and I'd been really looking forward to them.

He promised he would wrap them in future. Well I've just been in the cupboard and guess what, half a packet of biscuits left open, all soft. What is so fucking difficult about wrapping the bastards back up????????

To add insult to injury he's also ripped the top slice of bread up again despite me asking him many, many times not to.

So I've just torn him a new arsehole over it. It might sound silly over biscuits but honestly why is it so difficult to remember??

Sorry, sorry! I couldn't resist! .

FWIW it would piss me off too.

I thought I was highly strung. This makes me feel better.

I would rage if DH ate my biscuits, full stop

Because it's just pointless! why would you purposely destroy a slice a bread for no reason everytime you opened a new loaf?

.........ripped top slice of bread....??

poor bastard

Urgh, my DP never wraps up the cheese or turns lights off. Makes me

Who is the tea man?

(Are you dunkers? If so, does it matter if they are soggy?)

YANBU. I don't quite understand the thing about the bread, but having non-soggy biscuits does not seem much to ask.

YADNBU! I know people think it's something trivial but it actually shows whether your dp LISTENS to what you have to say..

My dh is very much the same. We have a different prob though-DH NEVER makes our bed. We had a rule after we got married that whoever left bed last would have to make it but in 5 years DH has done it ONCE. And he has all the bloody lie-ins.

My sympathies xx

Its just so pointless, how thick must you be to not realise that leaving them open makes them go soggy??

Oooo I quite liked that, lovely and colourful!

Got something to add Apocalypse ?

we have a very simple solution, it is called a biscuit tin, and all biscuits go straight into it when they are brought home from the shop.. airtight lid, so no soggy biscuits..

only problem was when some numpty put it on the kitchen worktop in direct sunshine (yes, I know, that is such a rarity in itself... so I should be forgiven), and with it being a metal tin, it got hot, and they all melted..

YANB entirely U

My FIL refuses to wrap anything, or even tuck the end of the packet under the bread (or whatever) and this leads to ENOURMOUS food wastage (as he then refuses to eat the dry bread/cheese/whatever

Last summer we found a fly had laid eggs in the dish of beans that we were about to serve for dinner because putting a bit of clingfilm over the top is too much effort.

However.. in the long run don't sweat the small stuff, just have a hidden pack of biscuits in a tin and leave him to the soggy ones.

The tea man could possibly be from a company called Ringtons Merrylegs, they will deliver tea, coffee, biscuits etc to your door I only know this because my DP used to work for them. Very yummy biscuits I might add!

[bea...

Aha !!

Arrgh my eyes, I can barely see past the technicolour emoticon madness of Apocalypse to type...Blazing Hooves, if you can see this:

Have you considered the purchase of a small tin in which to keep biscuits for your own personal consumption? Then your OH can do what the feck he likes with his ginger nuts.

Have i stumbled onto netmums by any chance
