H always ripping open a load of bread in the middle

Is just infuriating ?

Why would a person think this is acceptable ?

I've mentioned it so many times, but it continues.

So how does he reseal it after he has got his slices?!

I'm guessing he doesn't.

He just finds taking the tag off too difficult.

I know it's a bit annoying, but I always manage to take the tag off.

Why can't he use scissors to slide under the tag and snip?

Seriously would drive me nuts, doesn't the bread go stale?

Couldyounot · 01/03/2024 09:45

Lavishly defective. There ought to be some sort of register for people like this

coffleecup · 01/03/2024 09:48

Yeah the bread goes stale much quicker of course

I'm married to a monster as well.

Why? Just…why??? I’ve got one too x

Buy two loaves. His and hers.

Let him do what he wants to his own loaf and agree never to touch yours.

I came down this morning and it's just pretty much all open. Doesn't even try to keep it together and reseal.

I usually try and squish it together and put it in the cupboard standing up. He gives zero fucks and just leaves it like that, all open basically, in the middle of the table.

At the opposite end of the scale, my DH will carefully take a scissors and trim the top four of inches off a half-used bag of sugar, so there won't be as much empty bag.

They're all mad.

Absolutely 😂

ancienticecream · 01/03/2024 09:53

I would be so annoyed 🤯 I say buy your own loaf and open it like a civilised person. If his bread goes stale, do not let him take a slice of yours.

He makes his bed so he lies in it.

Stopwiththedamnrain · 01/03/2024 09:54

Keep the loaf in the freezer then he just takes out what he needs for toast without it all going stale.
Personally I'd LTB 😁

purplehotdogs · 01/03/2024 09:55

I would stop buying bread. That would drive me insane.

BitchImTheSecretIngredient · 01/03/2024 09:57

I couldn't live like that

Davros · 01/03/2024 09:57

Mine does this too with everything in any packaging, often upside down too. What's most annoying is he doesn't even look to see if there's a perforation or flap etc. he also opens multiples of the same things. I hid my second pipe of Pringles last night or he would just open the first one that comes to hand 😡

DrFoxtrot · 01/03/2024 09:58

I think you need individual loaves so he can enjoy his stale bread.

annonymousse · 01/03/2024 09:59

He's a sociopath! LTB 🤣

ShakeNvacStevens · 01/03/2024 10:00

I’m pleased to see you put H in your thread title not DH. I’d be gobsmacked if his lack of consideration didn't manifest itself in other parts of your relationship too.

LTBB (leave the bready bastard)

Zola1 · 01/03/2024 10:00

Wtf why would anyone do this 🤣

hellobello25 · 01/03/2024 10:02

My first LTB.

AlisonDonut · 01/03/2024 10:02

Good grief I could not live with a twat like that.

I know it's a bit annoying, but I always manage to take the tag off.

Even then, why wouldn't he rip the top open rather than the middle?

piglet81 · 01/03/2024 10:03

Bloody savage. Is it some kind of subconscious ‘look at me, I’m still a mighty caveman on the inside even if I’m a mild-mannered accountant on the outside’ thing?

Vebrithien · 01/03/2024 10:03

I echo a PP, have hers 'n his loaves.

Even better, download the (free) Olio app, and get his loaves for free from there.

(Olio works with Tesco to reduce food waste. Any best before bread is collected by volunteers, and listed. You request, and collect, for free)

Trickedbyadoughnut · 01/03/2024 10:04

Well, and I thought my DH was a psycopath for pegging the washing to the indoor airer.

FabFebHalfTerm · 01/03/2024 10:05

Grabbing2024ByTheBalls · 01/03/2024 09:28

DH opens cereal like this.

Every time I see another box torn in to I have to stop myself from beating him to death.

Don't think I can hold off much longer.

@Grabbing2024ByTheBalls

yes officer, she was at my house.
