Putting the empty wrappers back in the After Eight Mint box

[Squiffany]

I say it’s wrong and should never happen. DH disagrees and is upset I just made him take them all out of the box and put them in the bin.

AIBU?

It's one of my pet hates too! The kids do it with the box of celebrations as well! Boils my piss 🤣

But isn't part of the joy of having after eights the slight uncertainty as to whether there are actually any chocolate lefts or just empty wrappers? As a child I was convinced if you looked hard enough there would always be one chocolate left.

YANBU!!! Anyone does that in this house and they forfeit their right to another chocolate. 😁

Putting the empty wrappers back should be a hanging offence.

This.

YANBU

It does my head in. DH puts empty wrappers back in the Quality Street tin as well

Why would anyone sane put the empty wrappers back into the box? That’s pure evil.

It's a LTB offence.

Nothing worse than thinking there are some left only to be faced with empty envelopes of disappointment.

This is what Priti Patel wants to bring the death penalty back for!!!!

It’s very very wromg

I hate it. No one should ever do this

After Eights are the ONLY thing that you’re allowed to do this with.

It's roles reversed in our house. DH goes mad at me for putting the wrappers back

It annoys the hell out of me.

Well, I don’t so much put them back in as leave the wrapper in the box. We all just lift the actual after eight out, leaving the wrapper where it is.

Hanging's too good for them.

The thread under yours is 'death penalty'

Seems apt!

Just for once, I'd be in complete agreement with her!

If one happens to go into the fridge and eat an after eight surreptitiously, one must leave the wrapper behind to avoid a tell-tale rustle.

I’d vote for that

I can't abide it.

But I live in a household of people who think it's perfectly fine to put empty cereal boxes back in the cupboard, empty milk back in the fridge, and so forth. Gah.

You have to put the wrappers back, that way it’s a lovely surprise if you find an actual chocolate filled wrapper.

Love it!

DH is horrified

It’s only accepted for after eights, none of this celebrations or cereal stuff, different entities entirely.
