To have raged at DP over the biscuits?

BlazingHooves · 11/06/2012 20:51

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??

CheeseToastie - sorry your pretty pictures were breaking my 'puter so I had to delete them.

Twinkleinmyeye · 11/06/2012 21:33

YANBU in the slightest bit. Sometimes biscuits is all that gets me through the day... I second the biscuit tin though. I have a lovely one with a beautiful picture of Kate and Wills on it that my mum bought me to celebrate the Royal wedding for a joke.

Soggy biscuit problem solved.

C'mon, Apocalypse, how do we do the Pom? :o

How does one "Sit down on the evening"? or the morning for that matter? I'd like to park my arse on the twilight if I thought it possible.

MadamFolly · 11/06/2012 21:34

Why have your posts been deleted Apocalypse? Confused

MadamFolly · 11/06/2012 21:35

Oh I see x-post lol

Declutterbug · 11/06/2012 21:35

Well, I think YANBU, but I am pregnant and anything pisses me off right now Blush.

My mum always puts packets of crackers back in our cupboards open. At her house they're sealed or stored in airtight containers. She knows where our tupperware lives, so why does she do this? Angry Even if she left them out I could do it myself, but no, a week later I discover half a packet of stale crackers in the cupboard amongst the unopened ones.

DH also thinks it is fine to put biscuits and crackers together in one airtight container. Or crackers and bread. I have explained The Rules, but he doesn't seem to understand.

Oh my gosh, Apocalypse look what you've done! Poor Tech will be sent to the boilerhouse if the site crashes and now Olivia's come to tell you off!

Here you go OP: nice tins

hmc · 11/06/2012 21:41

It's all very well for other posters to mock you about something trivial like ginger biscuits but I bet all of us have pet hates. My own bug bear is when dh forgets to put the lid back on the coffee machine water dispenser after filling it ( found a fly floating in it the other day). The thing is you remind them nicely for the first gazillion times but by the gazillion and first time you want to string them up by their bollocks.

GnocchiNineDoors · 11/06/2012 21:42

OP, you need to stop buying Team Biscuits. Buy yourself nice shiney tasty biscuits and keep them hidden in a nice jar. Buy, or let DH buy his own brand digestives.

Twinkleinmyeye · 11/06/2012 21:42

This is my next biscuit tin. When Kate n Wills have been retired, of course.

Twinkleinmyeye · 11/06/2012 21:42

Oh no! It says it's discontinued!!

DeathMetalMum · 11/06/2012 21:43

What arw you doing having half a packet of biscuits open in the house? Surely you open the packet abd eat all of them, no? We have to do this as I can't be doing with biscuit tins. The biscuits all end up tasting of the other when they go in a tin.

BlackholesAndRevelations · 11/06/2012 21:56

Please could you explain what you mean by ripping up a piece of bread? Do you mean he actually, like, rips it? And then puts it back in the bag?

WTAF....?!

By the way, YANBU- I have loads of things to moan at my oh about, eg leaving his bag at the foot of the stairs (dangerous much?!) yet he still does them. In fact I think he now does them on purpose to piss me off!

CrumpettyTree · 11/06/2012 21:56

Who is the tea man and what do you mean about him ripping up the top slice of bread? Do you mean he takes out the top slice of bread and breaks it into pieces and leave the pieces on the counter or something? Confused I just take the top slice out and throw it in the bin. YANBU. I would find the soft biccie thing annoying too. If he can't manage to put the bics in a tin can't he get a peg out of the peg bag and clip the top shut?

MummysLittleSunbeams · 11/06/2012 21:57

YANBU because they are all a bunch of bloody twonks.

My dh can't even be trusted to cook our dc's dinners. He'll go to get the bag of peas out of the freezer & instead of thinking 'Ahhh here is a new unopened bag of peas, maybe there is one already open', he'll gouge a bloody great hole out of the new bag (as opposed to snipping open the corner with scissors) & then not bother to use a bag-clip before putting them back in the freezer. Therefore we always have several open bags of peas with massive ripped-open holes & peas making a break for freedom all rolling around in the freezer drawers.

Don't even get me started on him using things up & not bothering to write what we've run out of on the shopping list on the wall. The pen is always next to the list... how bloody hard is it to pick the damn thing up & write one word on the list hey??? Angry

Shutupanddrive · 11/06/2012 21:57

Leave kill the bastard

CrumpettyTree · 11/06/2012 22:00

My husband takes off dirty clothes and leaves them strewn around the house.

CrumpettyTree · 11/06/2012 22:01

But he does know how to clip a biscuit packet.

QuickLookBusy · 11/06/2012 22:03

Stop buying biscuits.

That'll teach him.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 11/06/2012 22:06

Oooooooohhhhhhh, is it wrong I'm feeling a twinge of pride ?? Blush

Angelico · 11/06/2012 22:07

YANBU. This is the kind of thing my DH does, along with leaving the fridge door open while he saunters about (including into the back garden for a chat once). At which point I screamed "Angelico's DH!!! The fridge!!!" and he did a sort of mad professor double take and sauntered back in to seal the warm air in close the door.

Collision · 11/06/2012 22:10

I do not have a peg bag.

guffaw · 11/06/2012 22:13

it is for this very reason that I greedily scoff delicately nibble the whole packet in one go- he wont wrap them up properly, and I cant stand soggy biscuits Grin
