DH just opened a packet of Walkers Marmite) crisps upside down I told him that was what psychopaths do. He disagrees. AIBU?

I hope you grabbed them out of his hand, threw them in the bin and told him to start again with a fresh packet. Oh and gave him a slap across the head for good measure. Grin

Psycho. I bet he bites all four fingers of a Kit Kat in secret too.
No, he says only weirdos would do that!

I dated someone who ate Pringles upside down, put them in her mouth with them in a "u" shape rather than the "n" shape that fits your mouth perfectly. They're out there. Stay vigilant.

He says you had a lucky escape there.

It's bad luck. He's damned

Rockbird · 24/04/2021 14:50

I'm usually so desperate to get to them that I don't look at which way the bag is facing Grin

WorraLiberty · 24/04/2021 14:53

Perhaps he wanted to eat the crumbs left in the bottom of the bag first?

They're here!!! What a way to find out I'm a Pringle pervert. I can change, I promise!

7 years bad luck

I used to open my crisps upside down to annoy my housemate who hated it Grin I might open some upside down right now and send her a photo 😂

TheCanyon · 24/04/2021 15:22

Salt and shake ALWAYS need opened upside down, that's where the salt sachet hides. Otherwise I honestly couldn't care what side up.

Chunkymenrock · 24/04/2021 15:26

I always do this. Every bag. It allows the crumbs and flavour to trickle through!

Leah2005 · 24/04/2021 15:40

@PrelovedWithValue I think that's bananas

LookItsMeAgain · 24/04/2021 16:34

the bottom of the bag is where all the flavour goes to - he's completely right in how he opens a bag of crisps.

DrunkOnOneSip · 24/04/2021 16:45

He is, without a doubt, an uncouth monster.

Did he hide these "deviant tendencies" when you were first dating.

I bet he did. They always keep their dark side hidden until they feel they have you hooked.

You need to save yourself

You need to get away before you end up walking on broken crisps eggshells.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 24/04/2021 16:47

Omg leave the bastard for the lemon curd on scones!

TheThingsWeAdmitOnMN · 24/04/2021 16:50

It was go against my thought process entirely, then I'd end up picking the packet up, upside down 🤦🏻‍♀️

Grin I see what you did there

KM38 · 24/04/2021 17:12

@Harryo I shuddered just reading the title 😓 then I saw that it was marmite crisps...then I saw the lemon curd on scones 😳😬

OP...did you know this was who you were marrying or did he hide all these monstrosities until he’d lured you in? 😅😅😅

Gives me the ick.
And the fact he had marmite crisps LTB.

JackieTheFart · 24/04/2021 18:13

I always open them upside down.

I guess I’m just Not Like Other Girls WinkGrin

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 24/04/2021 18:16

if they've been on the shelf the right way up, all the seasoning will be at the bottom, opening them at the bottom makes sense.

Damnloginpopup · 24/04/2021 18:17

@PickAChew

Ds2 opens them upside down. Then he lays them on the table to eat from the packet and the writing is the right way up.
You fucking what now?
