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??

No, I'm with you!

I have this same bloody argument with my DH over cheese, he never wraps it up when he puts it back in the fridge so it goes all crusty. Every..bloody...time!!!!!!!

The tea man is indeed Ringtons - you have not tried ginger biscuits until you have tried Ringtons ginger biscuits, honestly!
The bread thing is as ridiculous as it sounds, he tears it to pieces and then leaves it in the bag for me to sort out.

Ooh, that would annoy me. DH rips open packs of cheese with the 'easy close' tabs when they're already open. He doesn't wrap them with clingfilm after, and then they go hard. Fucks me right off

Why the hell does he rip the bread? Have you tried to ask him what the logic in his madness is?

I am weeping with laughter, great thread! Blazing, yanbu! Your hubby sounds like a right mentalist. Demand u get him on here 2 explain bread ripping rationale as makes no sense whatsoever.

We have a Brabantia biscuit barrel with a moisture absorbing capsule inside the lid www.brabantia.com/int_en/biscuit-barrel-white/

Actually, it's not very big - but as DP is the only sweet biscuit eater in this house, it's up to him to keep his biscuits fresh. Cheese crackers/Ryvita go into a bigger biscuit tin (those I do eat).

My DP just eats all the biscuits :(

A packet of choccie hobnobs lasts 24 hours here. Max.

And he stays skinny. Bastard.

YANBU DH also leaves the cheese unwrapped and we have a cheese box! Luckily it's usually red leicester (yuck) and not my lovely extra mature, otherwise I would stuff him into the washing machine?

Don't get the ripping the bread up, is he planning a visit to feed the ducks?

Tinkle, we have special cheese box that u leave cheese unwrapped in and my hubby still leaves it out fridge, cracker tin open along wiv fridge door. I feel your pain.

We have a cheese box. DH bought it and told me what it was for (cheese box-free childhood). Cheese still gets left half-unwrapped in the fridge, going hard

Apparently the butter moves itself back into the fridge without wrapping itself up in the butter paper (so that the exposed end goes dry and tastes of fridge) in our house....

Why does he rip the bread?

Bread ripping = madness. Even if you don't want to eat the end piece, keeping it on there helps the other slices stay fresher. And then you can use the ends for breadcrumbs or toast.

I am very intrigued by the bread tearing OP - you must supply us with more details forthwith.

My dh won't wrap cheese. He blatantly flouts the wrap up cheese rule, and I end up habing to cut all the sides off to get rid of the waxy stuff cheese turns into when you don't wrap it up!!

OP. We need your DP to explain the bread ripping thing.

Yes. Ask him now please?

PS. If no peg bag you need to go down the biscuit tin route.

OK, I also need to know more about the bread ripping .

Does he physically remove the top slice (crust I assume?) from the bag, rip it up, then put it back in? Or is it more of a gradual thing - that it gets ripped up by the overly rough removal of slices beneath?

I know it shouldn't matter - but it does .

If it's through roughness it's annoying - if it's the other it's bonkers with knobs on.

While we're waiting....does anyone remember the dh who rinsed mince?
He would brown it then rinse it under the tap, like a right oddball.

The tea man? Bundle of laughs.

For me, it's cereal. He leaves the cereal boxes open.

Nnnngggggnnnnnnggggggggnnnnnnnnnnn

I suppose he could always mend his ripped arsehole with the ripped bread...

But seriously, I feel your pain over the biscuits. DP seems to be quite happy eating soggy ginger nuts. I am not. So I keep my biscuits in an airtight container. This separation of biscuits is the only way to go when you are forced to co-exist with someone prepared to treat them so badly.

He won't change at least he is only doing it with biscuits (buy him cheapo ones, hide the good ones) and not putting the sharp kitchen knives point up in the drainer, or leaving things in front of the changing ledge table so that you fall over with a baby in arms, or forgetting to dress children in the middle of winter (check up on him every time he did bedtime) or forgetting to shut the first cupboard door in the kitchen so that you brain yourself as you walk into the kitchen, or leaves the living room window open with 2 toddlers who can climb, we're on the fucking second floor, twat (never went out without the children again) or leaves toddlers unattended in the bath to answer the phone... (i was running up the stairs to retrieve them just in case as soon as I heard the phone and he never bathed them again)

Cathartic!

Now I am going to have to hide this thread and delete history

Ooh I love ginger biscuits when they're a tiny bit soggy.

Yabu, let the air in I say!

How do you get that little teddy bear emoticon?

YANBU but I think you need to carry your own bikkies with you at all times - Nairns do a lovely oaty ginger bikky in little packs of 6!! Delicious, and always crunchy.
