Grounds for divorce? Tell me this is not normal...

[CatsArePeople]

OH never opens food packaging properly - he rips it to shreds. Stabs butter foil in the middle, the same with yogurt or cream. This morning, bag of catfood - resealable bag - ripped through the side... i want to scream.

Why don't you try pre-opening? As a currently single woman who misses her husband, this kind of thing is very minor in my opinion ;)

I think there are a few patios which need re-laying.

🖐I'm the guilty one in our house who opens the post by ripping the envelope down the middle...not usually an issue as it's addressed to me, but last week I accidentally ripped open a birthday card addressed to DH and had an awful time trying to piece the envelope back together with sellotape so DH could have the pleasure of opening his OWN bday card...oops, sorry, Honey!

If you rip envelopes down the middle, don't you rip the contents too? I can't imagine how that wouldn't happen.

Best way with opening envelopes is a knife carefully along the top , it takes patience and a steady hand etc , but it works.
At least the envelope is then ok to place the contents back into it.
I'm hopeless at any packaging, but I've mastered the art of the envelopes!

Depends who the weirdo does it! Sometime he rips along the top then down the back seam. And yes, most often part of the contents get ripped too.

Ridiculous to think about divorce. Did you not know what he was like before you married him and why should he jump to your tune all the time, just because you don't like something

It's a joke, people. She's not really thinking about divorcing her husband over stabbed butter.

Chill your tits, pretty sure it's not actually going to result in divorce

Jeez, there's a real sense of humour failure in here tonight! It's a joke fgs.

I think the joke has been lost on a lot of people 🤣

mine does this too but what really grates me is throwing food from the trolley onto the conveyor belt at supermarket. I mean throwing! So bags and packaging split , eggs break …… why?!?!? I have to tell him he isn’t allowed to unpack the trolley I always get a few wide eyes from checkout person as if I’m a strange naggy wife but believe me Susan if I let him you would have carnage on that belt 🤣

New back of tissues... savaged.

DH and I are both Aries, but only he behaves like a savage. And in addition to the massacred cereal boxes, resealable packs etc, the most annoying thing is flipping the lid back on the squeezable ketchup/honey before it has stopped pouring.

"the most annoying thing is flipping the lid back on the squeezable ketchup/honey before it has stopped pouring."

Or taking egg shell halves all the way across the kitchen while the white is still dripping. 😡

I’m getting rage reading this 😂

You never know.
This thread reminds me of this article: www.huffpost.com/entry/she-divorced-me-i-left-dishes-by-the-sink_b_9055288

It's a light hearted post!

Im disappointed and sickened in how much Marrage is treated lime a joke now a days. Holds no true grounds and meaning. Its treated like dating. You all make me sick. Must all be the age of death to the old world. Shame on you all

Oh dear! You ok?

Maybe it's time they updated the vows to include a section on opening household items, do you think that would improve things?

My ex was exactly the same. He once bought two lovely planters for the patio and smashed a hole in the side of each "for drainage". Words failed me.

@CustardySergeant I fully intend to open the envelope like a normal person...stick my finger under the little space on the flap and then run it along the top...but inevitably, I get about halfway across and the back of envelope just rips down the middle.( must be some physics involved as to why it always happens )..just the envelope, though..not the actual letter, etc.thats inside i...who's got time to go get a letter opener? I usually begin opening my post at the box on the street and then drop the junk mail into the bin on the way back inside. Very efficient that way

Oh definitely update the marriage vows - visualising whole congregation rolling in the aisles😂

I'm going to add DS into the mix now. I've just been in the kitchen and found that someone had finished off a carton of eggs (and put the empty box back on the rack), finished off a multipack of popcorn and out the empty pack back in the rack, and left about a tablespoon of milk in the bottle (left on the countertop - next to the bin).

Either this is fabulous sarcasm 👏 or someone needs more coffee.

Again for those in the back, it's a JOKEY LIGHT HEARTED post. You know, humour? Something we all need more of right now.
