Does anyone else's dh use a newspaper as a plate

[Slartybartfast]

every bloody time, little snack, crackers or sandwhich, just grabs a newspaper to eat it off. What about the crumbs, wails me, I will empty those into bin use a PLATE

Any horror stories from others? slobs

Ah, Page 3. Hopefully he covers up the norks with his 'tuna on brown' to protect the young lady's modesty.

You are lucky
1, makes a sandwich and doesn't even get a plate
2, has a hot meal then licks the plate (only when at home)so at least he knows its wrong
3 , Eats with his mouth open When in cafes etc I try to make sure he is seated facing a wall
4, He is slightly deaf and thinks that he has turned the sound right down on his the laptop. He is sat facing me right now and is watching porn at 10. 13 in the morning and he thinks that I think he is on ebay.

Thanks - perhaps - for sharing your tales.
but wood in the kitchen ha ha ha, he is On Trend

I have just noticed the irony of my username, I think I will take myself out for the day

Does he really think newspapers are clean? God knows where it's been before it ended up in your house. It could have been on the floor of the newsagent, on the street if the paperboy dropped it, etc etc. And he's eating off it?

Surely as long as the outer page of the newspaper is removed the rest of it's fine. The middle pages won't have been on the floor of the newsagents.

Imavinit your DH sounds like a right catch lol.

My DH does the same. A newspaper every time. 😡
If he makes something more substantial than a snack he will, without fail, cram it all onto the smallest side plate in the kitchen.
I don't know what's wrong with him.

WTF!!

I'm guilty of not using a plate, it's easier to vacuum up the crumbs than wait for DH to wash up, Apparently I do it wrong as he likes to let it all pile up an do a huge wash - he's the water police

We're all awful for not using played but we hover over the sink mostly, or eat over the cutting board sandwich was prepped on, or quick desk and eat in the garden.... the list is endless.
Sharing a juicy mango with a sticky faced child over the sink is one of life's great pleasures....

Plates not played

Quick dash- this phone!!! Sorry

People probably don't remember that fish and chips always used to be sold wrapped in newspaper

Normally the fish and chips were put onto a clean white paper, then the newspaper was the outer wrapping. Basically it was wrapped twice.

Fish and chips were wrapped in newspaper, but there was white paper inside. The chips were not in contact with the newspaper which was there to insulate them.

surely it is a huge cancer risk

Oh ffs....how do you even function?

Op, not ideal but it’s a booody newspaper.

My DH uses a plate, albeit often of a size I wouldn't personally choose. My DF, however, is another effing chopping board user. He likes to use the biggest one that won't fit in the dishwasher, so it is extra washing up. He leaves it festering on the counter for hours and pretends that eventually he will clear it up. Bizarrely it is a fairly recent habit.

Could still have insects, bugs, mites and whatever else crawling off the floor and into the newspaper.

lamerde

Cancer of the bile duct is the cancer it causes.

Hilarious.

Presumably a picnic is out of the question round your place then.....break out with the Dettol folks, kill off all those horrid nasty living things 🐞 🐝 🐜

Probably I went to the chippy in the rough end of town, Bluntness

Yes fish and chips , the outer packaging were wrapped in newspaper but always wrapped in white grease proof paper next to the food and I came from a really really bad area

Bf is incapable of using the butter / spread without hacking it to death!!! Instead of just placing the knife on the spread and scooping up some he digs the knife right in and then sort of digs a wad out. Leaving huge gapping holes.

It’s only a minor thing but it really puts me off when I go to spread my toast or whatever. We had “words” about it last week as I said we’d have to have separate packs if he couldn’t reframe from hacking huge chunks out each time 😂

We have picnics. We just eat of plates, that have been washed and not left on the floor for who knows how long. You should break out the brain cell.
