Dh and his flamboyant bin bag buggerations

76 replies

Dh is a flamboyant bin bag flapper. I suspect it's done as a passive aggressive demonstration of how one is meant to create space in the bin rather than rely on dropping the rubbish over the bin.

However part of his flamboyant routine is extra flap page around the edges of the bin, lifting the bin handle the carefully placing it over the edge.

This means that when you lift and tie the bin unless you remember to I tuck the fucker you end up tying the handle in the bin rendering the bin bag stuck until you untie and release.

Which gives me the raging hab dabs Angry

So I have to endure the faffing of the bin bag akin to Rowan Atkinson gift wrapping your Mistresses jewellery and to add insult to injury undo the fucking up of the original faffing of its application.

AIBU to hide the bin bags from him?

So what does DH do when he empties the bin? Does he have a tactic for dealing with the handle?

Apologies if this has already been covered but I've spent the evening with salted caramel cocktails and Alexander Skarsgård's abs and I'm not altogether all together.

Why would the baggyflapper need to carry the whole bin?

Grin
JacquettaWoodville · 01/09/2016 00:01

Hang on, fuck bin bags, what's all this about salted caramel cocktails?

S1lentAllTheseYears · 01/09/2016 00:05

Saw the handle off the bin?

Or LTB.

Sorted.

KickAssAngel · 01/09/2016 00:28

Every time he dares to spoonyfuck, make him empty the bin.

While he's taking the bag out, quickly put the new bin liner in.

OR throw the rubbish at the nasty cutbumface baggages that were hanging around outside the back of your house.

Love the reference to Love Actually!

I've never owned a bin with a handle. I sometimes feel I'm missing out on life.

jayho · 01/09/2016 02:54

He's a binfucker. Honey, you're fucked.

FabFiveFreddie · 01/09/2016 03:12

I'd quite like a posh bin.

Is yours basically a kitchen unit? Does it get smelly in there?

DropYourSword · 01/09/2016 03:31

I literally have no idea what you're describing and can't see the difference Blush

DropYourSword · 01/09/2016 03:34

Having relooked I now understand!
I'm 50/50 with this. What he's doing is annoying and extra fiddly, BUT I can see why he does it. What's the point in having a handle otherwise!
Would the easiest thing to do be to remove bin bag before you tie it up?!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 01/09/2016 03:50

I'm on your husband's side. But I'm also half arsed at tucking so rely on handle to keep bag from slipping

MaudlinNamechange · 01/09/2016 05:09

"frets, panics, with his finger FUCKING HOVERiNG over the indicator. By the time he very ally presses it I want to cut his fingers off"

Indicating that you want to move, rather than deftly identifying and getting into an existing gap, is the equivalent of ASKING PEOPLE TO HELP YOU, which men can't do in cars or their penises fall off

Bin85 · 01/09/2016 05:29

Ha ha!!

cexuwaleozbu · 01/09/2016 05:32

Your DH is correct and you are incorrect. The handle is not supposed to be hidden by the bin bag.

But actually the two of you have incompatible bin methodology and you have no choice but to LTB.

You have a system that works for you because if you insert the binbag following your method, when the time comes to empty the bins you tie up the bag with the caddy in-situ and lift it out. You then put the new bag in and have to lift up the caddy just enough to trap the edges of the bin bags around the top of the caddy. HE lifts out the caddy by the handle, pulls out the binbag and then ties it up so he has no chance of forgetting where the handle is, and needs the handle to be accessible.

There may be a post on dadsnet asking for help dealing with the rage and sense of emasculation when one's DW keeps hiding the bin caddy handle under the binbag such that you can't lift the caddy out properly.

Divorce may be the only option unless you can talk to one another and agree to a single method which you both find acceptable.

NoobThebrave · 01/09/2016 05:39

Hilarious😂 But LTB 😉

Costco do a marvellous bag that fits said trendy bin but it has drawstrings. Fits exactly and then can use drawstring to extract!

I find the extravagant bag flapping tends to be an announcement of marvellousness that DH is emptying the bin...it is very similar with dishwasher emptying....quite frankly I am amazed our China has survived so many announcements 😳

HerestoyouMrsRobinson · 01/09/2016 06:22

This is a rubbish thread

RumbleMum · 01/09/2016 07:48

Salted caramel cocktails for those wishing to know. I am extremely unwell this morning.

Good luck OP. This issue is clearly a deal breaker.

Jengnr · 01/09/2016 08:14

Wait....your husband empties the bin?!?!? He doesn't just pile it up tall or squish it all down so it can't come out???

I need one of those!

GeorgeTheThird · 01/09/2016 08:20

I was very confused by the OP but from the pictures - I have the same bin! Obviously the bin bag goes over the handle, otherwise not only is the handle knotted inside but it can get covered in bin contents. You are very tolerant of your DH, OP. So many many errors 😄

HoneyDragon · 01/09/2016 09:00

Is yours basically a kitchen unit? Does it get smelly in there?

It is in the kitchen unit and would get smelly if the system was breached. But I live in a constituency with the most effecient recycling method ever.

All compostable smelly food waste does in the food bin which lives in the utility by the back door and is emptied daily.

Anything recyclable can be mixed and all goes in the two indoor rear caddies and lol gets chucked in the fucking awesome blue wheelie bin of awesome. (You get two if you're a good recycler).

All plant and garden waste goes in the giant green bin of stinks in high summer but is worth it bin.

All other non food and non recycable rubbish goes in the black bin.

If you keep the handle under the bin bag, how do you get the bin out of the cupboard?

My DH does the bin bag flapping, and the handle goes over the bin bag AND he empties the bin when it's full. He is a Star

spaghettithrower · 01/09/2016 09:38

Give him full responsibility for the bin - putting the liner in and taking the bin out when full. In fact give him responsibility for all of the bins/recycling. Then he can flap to his heart's content.
Worked with my DP who complained about the bins when he moved in - wasn't going to put up with that so I told him to buy a bin system he was happy with and he would be responsible. He likes it actually - faffing about with bin liners, taking rubbish out to the big bins, taking stuff to the tip etc.

HoneyDragon · 01/09/2016 09:58

You don't need to lift the bin out the cupboard ....it's a totally redundant manoeuvre
