To think that opening four tins of tuna is stressful and DH is BU?

[Tinoftuna]

NCd for this, obviously.
AIBU to think that opening four tins of oily tuna is stressful? You get smelly oily tunaoil all over your hands , then you have to drain it into the sink (that also gets all oily), the tin opener gets oily and tuna-y and worst of all you have to wash the oil and tuna bits out the tins and lids. I asked DH to open them for me and he said I was being a snowflake! Who is right? He said I should ask Mumsnet.

John West No Drain Tuna changed my fishy life

Why are you rinsing baked beans.

This is so ridiculous and pathetic that I can't believe it's real. Your husband is right you are a snowflake. Perish the thought something really stressful should happen in your life.

I was once driven to tears trying to open a Fray Bentos pie.

I still bear scars from opening a tin of corned beef.

Another vote for no drain. Game changer.

Yes of course you can recycle “tin” cans. It’s probably the single most energy efficient form of recycling. Both steel and aluminium cans recycle perfectly with no loss of quality. Steel biscuit tins also recycle very efficiently.

Try the no drain stuff if it's too stressful for you. Or make something else that doesn't involve tuna if it is too traumatizing.

I think yanbu I quite simply cannot find tin openers that work properly these days, they are too clever and fangled.

@iklboo tinned corned beef is definitely stressful to open. And once I've managed to open it it always refuses to come out the tin!

@PastaCake - it's a bit easier to get out if you put it in the fridge first to firm up. Still a bloody nightmare to open.

Suggest you never have corned beef hash OP.
I hate opening tins. If I order from Ocado it seems to be pot luck on brands with ring pulls and not. Stressful might be a bit ott tho

I was sure this would be a reverse but it seems you really are that ridiculous

YABU opening tins of tuna is not stressful

If it was corned beef you’d have got more sympathy

Waxy And where exactly are you from?

Or you could buy the tuna in spring water or brine, which isn’t greasy.

Going against the grain. DH and I argue over who is going to open the tuna every damn morning for packed lunches. It’s just one of those shit, small tasks that is annoying to us both. We do brine or water too though and when one of us accidentally gets the tin with the pull thing it is marginally less annoying.

Buy fresh tuna. I won't eat tinned tuna as it was the last thing I ate before a nasty case of gastroenteritis. Pity it wasn't chocolate or cream cakes I ate beforehand.

Tuna in water is a food crime. Oil is the thing.

Your husband should LTB

This must be a MN first.

“YABU for pouring fish oil down the kitchen sink - smelly and bad for the sewers.”

🙄

Civil engineer or microbiologist are we?

How can fish oil harm the sewers?

why does anyone eat the tuna in oil? It's just greasy and rank

I had to open a tin of tuna in spring water this morning to a cacophony of meows from two cats who also kept trying to stretch as long as the could up the kitchen units next to where I was standing to see if they could get their paws on the Tuna before I could get it into the bowls for them.

Effectively they just got in the way and made the whole stressful slightly annoying process take longer, especially as I was doing the whole trying to get the lid off of the tuna and the tuna into the bowls without getting any on my hands. Then they just walked in front of me and tried to trip me up, whilst I was trying to put the Tuna on their food tray for them. Were your DC this annoying OP?

What is it about tinned Tuna, that it practically leaps out of the tin onto your hands however hard you try not to get it on you. .

Buy it in a pouch, like this.

People eat tinned food?

Yes, my organic pinto beans are tinned as are my organic chopped tomatoes.
Tinned food doesn't always mean spaghetti hoops you know. (I sodding love spaghetti hoops)

OP, what do you mean that you dispose of your own sewerage? Are you on a septic tank or do you shit in a bucket?

And yes, the kind of oil in tuna is not the kind that causes fatburgs

The real issue is that you are still eating Tuna.
The stocks are declining rapidly, the Souther Bluefin is critically endangered and others are at a Critical state.
Perhaps the best thing to do is avoid the fish altogether.
Find someting else to eat.
