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.

I don't find it hard to get that little sticky tab off, it doesn't require nails?? That would drive me mad OP, I'm surprised you've let him live, tbh.

My chap (we don't live together) said I could have some clothes delivered to his house as he would be there for delivery. He then promptly forgot, said the delivery arrived and he "had no idea what this parcel could be" so just ripped the bag open down the middle😱🤯 and virtually destroyed it. It obviously wasn't resealable (for returns) with the sticky strip. And of course I had returns. Never sending a parcel to his house again, he can't be trusted!

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.

He sounds like a disrespectful twat.

WigglyVonWaggly · 01/03/2024 13:58

He’s a savage. Leave him. He’ll be extracting bananas from their peels while leaving the peels attached to the rest of the bunch next. It won’t get any better.

lambhotpot · 01/03/2024 14:00

That would drive me mad to live with anyone that cant open anything the right way.
Thank god im single.

hoopjumper · 01/03/2024 14:19

It would have to breathe very deeply and slowly if someone did that, but it they cleared it up, tidied it up afterwards I couldn't complain.

The fact he just leaves it there for you to deal with is not acceptable to me - unless you maybe have a thing too? Like hoovering but just abandoning the hoover when you're done and then he comes along and empties it, wraps the cord up and puts it away?

When I read your post I did think there's no chance he cleans his skids up either....

ohskedaddle · 01/03/2024 16:10

What an animal. I couldn't be doing with that, I'd have to LTB.

It didn't occur to him to check who the parcel was addressed to before he ripped it?

ATerrorofLeftovers · 01/03/2024 16:23

How does he manage to live an adult life if a bread bag defeats him?

Enko · 01/03/2024 16:28

User19798 · 01/03/2024 10:43

Yes of course, because a man who can't be fucked to spent 5 seconds opening the bag it comes in is going to carefully transfer the open loaf into an organic cotton bread bag isn't he?

I'm going to assume that other people also get to the shopping and puts it away.

But you do you.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 01/03/2024 16:36

I say take off and nuke him from space - it’s the only way to be sure

Launch The Bread. At his head.

QueenBitch666 · 01/03/2024 17:07

Separate loaves but preferably separate houses. He's a lazy fucker

coffleecup · 01/03/2024 09:29

Hahahaha this made me LOL.

A sliced loaf of bread, he rips the plastic in the middle. Rather than removing the little tag and then opening it.

😱😱😱

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.

Does he do it in anger/frustration ? I could understand him getting frustrated because some of the tags are quite tightly attached, but if he doesn’t have the patience to get scissors or a knife so that the packaging can be reused I think that’s unreasonable. And if he leaves you to sort out the mess after he’s ripped it open that’s equally unreasonable.

Unless he has a disability there's no excuse and he's just a lazy fucker.
My DH does have a disability, he only has one arm, but even he can remove those infuriating tabs and open a loaf of bread properly!
Just buy bread for yourself and hide it.

Then that becomes his loaf. He can eat stale bread or keep on spending money out of his pocket to buy a whole loaf whenever he wants 2-slices.

You can buy another loaf and use it properly. Having told him you'll take his knackers, make human bollock sandwich and LTB if he so much as looks at your loaf.

He can learn how to be an adult. It's that in this he has chosen not to

No 🙄 because normally everything delivered to his house is for him. Which is a fair point, BUT he knew it was coming and yes, it had my name on it (and the branding of a women's clothes shop) ...

CheapThrillsMeanNothing · 01/03/2024 17:54

@BatshitCrazyWoman
If I wasn't expecting a parcel, I would check who it was addressed to 8n. Are 8t was delivered to the wrong address. Also I would probably notice the brand if it was shown on the packaging.
Mind many man don't seem to be very observant. Just not bothered.

This is the most unhinged thing I've ever read on MN, and thats saying something. LTB

That’s ridiculous. What is wrong with him? His and hers bread from now on.

My chap used to open potato bags at the bottom so when I grabbed the bag at the top, they all fell out. Same with carrots.
It drove me insane.

I’ve got him trained now to do it “properly” and intuitively but I feel your pain OP.
If there’s a new loaf to open, could you do it your way, in advance? 🙄

If you mean the paper sacks of potatoes, they're designed to be opened that way.

beanii · 02/03/2024 15:42

OP that would drive most people crackers - if he can't open the tag then cut it - ripping the bag just equals stale bread.

I was earlier going to post "and this is why I need to change my username" but whaddya know, it was available! 🥰

I disagree. If you know which bits to undo then pull, that chain stitch across either end is a doddle to do, very satisfying, AND you get to keep the string afterwards! Aaahhhhhhhhh. 🥰
