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

I always open them upside down! The flavouring falls to the bottom.

@WorraLiberty

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

Who are the 34% saying YABU? Surely they must be either psychopaths or sociopaths too?

does he eat chocolate biscuits upside down as well?

AbsolutelyPatsy · 24/04/2021 18:24

i am eating a share packet of Doritos, opened earlier, just realised they are upside down Shock

If you open a bag of crisps upside down three times in a row it raises Beelzebub and then things get really crappy. You have been warned.

Is he a bat?

FindingMeno · 24/04/2021 18:38

The marmite crisps are mine.
He shouldn't be eating them any way up Angry

Why are you still with him?
You need legal advice and I urge you to see your GP ASAP for some calming medication.
You shouldn't have to put up with this.
Marmite? MARMITE???!!! WTF...

There is a special place reserved for some of the people on this thread 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

ShonkyCat · 24/04/2021 21:47

And you married him...why exactly?!

Yes, that is truly awful. Does he also rip open envelopes with his bare hands instead of using a letter knife? Does he....put the empty wrappers back in the After Eight box? Hmm

I did this by mistake earlier. I felt quite discombobulated. Ended up tipping the packet onto a plate and pretending I hadn’t opened the wrong end. Blush

He's a monster.

safariboot · 24/04/2021 23:00

Was he a child/teen when tazos were a thing? Back then we all opened from the bottom so we got the tazo out first!

getyourfreakon · 24/04/2021 23:11

Nope, DD does this on purpose making full eye contact. I tell her she's an evil child.

NiceGerbil · 24/04/2021 23:15

Ah. Upside crisp opening has always made me very uncomfortable.

I myself of course never did it until about 2 years ago when I must have been very out of sorts. The sky did not fall in.

I still wouldn't do it but it doesn't disturb me as much as it used to if someone else does.

Maybe mellowing with age or something!

I think you need to do a freedom of information request to your local prison, to clarify how many prisoners with psychopathic traits, open their crisps upside down.

ArnoldJudasRimmer · 25/04/2021 00:43

I'm upset that he thinks it's okay. 😕

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 25/04/2021 01:06

You need to log this with the Police. He's a deviant. Although you could be the one to change him OP. Could you suggest he tips the crisps into a bowl to eat from instead? I know the damage is already done, but just to spare you further trauma.

ExP used to eat family sized bars of Dairy Milk by biting into them when they were still a solid block He didn't even pretend to break off one line at a time. That was enough reason to LTB.

LaMarschallin · 25/04/2021 01:14

We were once given a selection of crisps that couldn't be sold because the roll of foil packaging had been loaded onto the machine the wrong way.

So each packet just had a plain silver outside: nothing to say "This Way Up ⬆️" NOR any way to tell what flavour they were!

Russian Roulette holds no fears for me now.
I'd like to see Derren Brown do a show based around those enigmatic babies!

maybelou · 25/04/2021 01:27

Psychopathic behaviour that wants looking into, frankly.

Ijustknowitstimetogo · 25/04/2021 02:31

Highly disorganised.
