Page 6 | 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 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. 🥰

Each to their own I guess, as a farmers daughter this was how I was raised 😁

There is only one option OP - buy 2 loaves. One is yours that you open nicely and keep sealed and fresh. The other is for your DH to rip open and leave going stale. He can eat every single slice of his mouldy stale bread while you enjoy your nice non mouldy and non stale bread.

My dad does this 🤣 it’s infuriating!

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.

Why!

I can understand cutting a loaf in the middle abd pushing the ends together to keep it fresher longer.

Whattodo112222 · 02/03/2024 16:31

This would infuriate me beyond belief.

Kelly51 · 02/03/2024 16:33

I'm assuming he manages not to be. lazy arsehole and hold down a job?
I wouldn't be clearing it away.

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.

That's two problems.
Unable to manage fine motor operations and gross laziness/ untidyness.

They may be related.

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!

Don't ever live with this man.

Ooh this is my first chance to say LTB. No one should have to live with this level of depravity. I told dp that we would have to separate if he kept on with digging big lumps out of the butter instead of a smooth glide across with the knife. He upped his game, so we are fine.

I very nearly fell out with a family friend over this! He was doing some (paid) decorating for us and every day he'd turn our butter into a sculpture of the fucking Alps! I asked him to do the knife scrape thing and said it would even make it easier to spread. He kept doing it. So I told him he was now being rude. He said I was being rude to a guest and being a total OCD jerk. Then he got his daughter to sculpt a penis out of butter and left it in our fridge!

We're still friends. It's referred to in hushed tones as the Buttergate Scandal. But I swear, if we ever tried to settle it we would come to blows again all these years later.

Sorry to derail! 🤐

Sorry for that rant. Got a bit over exercised there 😔

My DH did this once, he'll rip a hole in the middle of the bag without checking who it's for. Same with Amazon delivery etc, destroys the box then walks off with the contents leaving the packaging to be cleared up. Excuse being he doesn't know where I keep the cardboard recycling 🙄

CurlewKate · 02/03/2024 17:07

We don't often have sliced bread but when we do, I open it like my mother did-I cut the bag with neatly with scissors along the top from end to end. I don't know why she-or I-did/do it like this. I'll have to ask my dp if it renders him homicidal!🤣

Trickedbyadoughnut · 01/03/2024 10:04

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

No, that's mine for buying an extra long one when we do not have an extra long kitchen - and then carefully piling all the wet clothes flat across it on top of one another.

Kelly51 · 02/03/2024 17:18

@CurlewKate
Why? how do you then wrap the loaf to keep it fresh?

ISpyNoPlumPie · 02/03/2024 17:31

Buying your own loaf or a bread bag won’t stop him being a selfish twat. This relationship is unsalvageable. Sorry.

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 02/03/2024 17:31

You need your own loaf, and a lockbox to keep it in ! Although I do things kind of like this so am a hypocrite really.

Why on earth did you think it was a good idea to have bread with this man?

Trickedbyadoughnut · 02/03/2024 17:43

😧😡

Clearly, I should be grateful for small mercies!

MrsMiddleMother · 02/03/2024 17:56

If he always does this and refuses to change then either 1. Get a air tight tupperware box to store the bread it or 2. Buy separate bread for you and he can do what he likes with his. Yes the waste is frustrating but thats on him and better that than you not being able to have any at all because he's being lazy and selfish.

Camelliugh · 02/03/2024 19:09

Can’t be as bad as my H who rips it open in the middle of the supermarket, then proceeds to waft it like a cigar ffs
