To open all my husbands snacks?

[MotherOfBeagles]

I think my husband is incapable of closing anything. With the exception of the front door and fridge as these could cost him money.

Every cupboard, the oven door, the washing machine, every packet of food or drink he touches is left open. All the dogs treats have gone stale and I've had to bin pots of gravy/peanut butter etc etc as flies have gotten into them.

So today I'm fed up and seriously considering opening all his cans of coke and precious bags of salt and vinegar crisps. What do you think?

Apparently being tired, bored, pregnant and hormonal are a bad mix at home lol.

But wasting food like that also costs money?
He is just being lazy.

Have you told him to stop being so wasteful? If you have then sure open up all his snacks.

Oh so many times! Honest to god I just don't think he even notices he does it - not making excuses but the amount of doors/lids/etc which are left off or open in this house is enough to drive you batty.

Sometimes I find it comical. Today I'm just feeling devious lol

I would do it. I'm not known for my maturity when dh doesn't listen

could you open some and use the grips to seal them, and add a note inside..

Stop buying him snacks?

If he is so disrespectful of other people's food then it's fine to be disrespectful of his.

I would do it. Petty is my middle name.

Take a photo everytime you find something open and send it to him. Or post on FB

My husband does this also. It drives me batty!! It might just get your point across!

Does he manage to keep the lids on his food/shampoo etc - and just leave yours open?

I think you need a padlocked cupboard with your good stuff in. Anything he leaves out gets left out. Perhaps if you have to put them away then buy a packet of joke plastic flies and chuck them in the jar first.

If he can treat his own stuff with respect, and doesn't act like this at work or at friends then he's choosing to be a complete Dick.

This is so funny!! I think it is a good way to get the point across but the problem is that its so deliberate.... Also I think there is something sacred about salt and vinegar crisps! I think that the suggestion of photographing the open items and sending to his whats app is a good one... if he fails to change then posting on his facebook page is your second option!

Do it. He needs to see the consequence of his actions.

My DH is like with lights. He even closes doors and leaves the lights on in the rooms! I've tried signs, which my cleaning lady thinks is hilarious, and he ignores those too.

Do it. It probably won't work, but will make you feel better.

Hide all your favourite treats first, THEN do it.

I am guilty of this. ExDH used to say that when he came into the kitchen after I'd been in, it was like that scene in 'The Sixth Sense' where the poor boy's mother walks in to his terrified face and each and every cupboard and drawer was open! I'm trying to be better

I had this with my partner yesterday. He got some cereal and left the bag the cereal was in and the box open so I shut it properly. When he went to get some cereal the next day I said please can you make sure you shut it properly otherwise the food will go stale. Of course I was nagging.

My DH is like this with kitchen cupboards and gets offended when I go behind closing them. He is also completely incapable of turning a light or a radio off.

My OH has a thing with lights, apparently its my fault for turning it on opposed to his for walking upstairs and not turning it off behind him

do it. I would

Don't bin or replace the things that have gone off. Just leave them where they are. Let him see the consequence of his actions.

redjoker my partner also has a thing with lights. Will put them on when it is broad daylight and there is just no need for it then will walk out the room without switching it off.

Haha glad I'm not alone in feeling childishly mischievous.

It's not a case of him just doing it to my stuff he does it to everything. Which makes it even more hilarious for me when he starts grumbling about stale crisps. Not at me obviously just at life in general.

I figured with the pregnancy brain and me putting remotes in the fridge and keys in the sinks now would be the time to get away with doing it on purpose lol

Do it. I've been doing the same. If asked where it is I said I don't know what half eaten crap is left for keeping or bin so it all goes bin.

Put it all in a box, as it is, and leave it for him to use. Lids off, flies and all.

If you replace it, use a food/fridge safe so he can't get to it.

If he's normally the thrifty type, collect all the wasted food, put post its on with the price of a replacement product and issue him with a running total.
