To put a sign on the yoghurt

2 days ago the kids asked for yoghurt, my DH went to the fridge to get some and found a large pot of unopened yoghurt which had gone out of date 2 weeks ago. He put the pot of out of date yoghurt on the side in the kitchen.

So for 2 warm days the yoghurt has sat there.

I do not want to be the one to deal with it. Yes it is petty. But I am determined not to always be the magical fairy that cleans up everything, including what will now be very smelly yoghurt, because he was too lazy to deal with it. OK I could put it in the bin rather than wash it and recycle it. But still.

So, what to do. A sign feels way too passive aggressive. But I'm thinking of decorating it with the kids tomorrow...sticking on some giant boggly eyes, and a speech bubble saying "please recycle me"? AIBU

@BrutusMcDogface

Just one thing. “Boggly” eyes? “Boogly” eyes?

They’re “googly”, aren’t they?!

🤣

Yes they’re googly eyes.

Boogly!

Oh no, is this one of those things I've been saying wrong my whole life?! It would make sense as my phone doesn't like boggly and keeps trying to correct it. My whole family says boggly. Goggly eyes would be seen as slightly insulting for some reason I can't quite fathom now. Well now I've learnt something new!

Yoghurt pot is still there. It has been decorated by DD and renamed yoghurt man. It now features boggly/googly/boogly eyes depending on your inclination, and a fetching multicoloured hairstyle. Let's see how long it takes DH to notice.

I just finally I got back to my tiny house in Greece after one year and there were 3 tubs of unopened Greek yoghurt (I think it was Total - Fage) in the 'fridge. They were about a year out of date - I ate two, which were delish and had no ill effects. The 3rd had a couple of black grape-like moulds on the surface so I chucked it.

Pictures please. I'm particularly intrigued by the hair...

Hopefully I've attached a picture. DD decided it needed to be covered in paper as you couldn't see the eyes and face otherwise. I loved the culture secretary idea, but DD decided she wanted it to be called 'yoghurt man' instead.

It helped fill some time with DD who was off school poorly. DH spotted it remarkably quickly and took it with good humour. Though....the yoghurt man remains on the side and DD now insists it can never be thrown away.

Yoghurt man looks wonderful!

You might have to sneakily clean him out though. Then keep him as a warning every time something is left out.

"Don't make me get the Yoghurt man..."
