Is it normal to lick the yoghurt off the lid

[RiotC]

At the dinner table/in front of people.

This

There’s nobody I wouldn’t do it in front of. It’s a lid, not a dick.

It depends on how he’s doing it. If he’s slathering around on the lid with a big tongue then I can see why that would be off putting it. I do lick the lid but with small licks.

Annoying, yes, but the perfectly neat dot of yogurt on Nicole's nose was worse!

I don't do it and I would take a very dim view of anyone doing it in front of me.

Alone - yes.
Not sure I would do it at a dinner table, but wouldn't mind if others did

Am I being overly judgmental to feel sorry for the sex lives of the people who are expressing disgust at their partners licking yoghurt from a lid?

It's hard no from me (with our without company).

What a weird take to have on your husband licking a yogurt lid OP! It's so very normal as to not even be noteworthy 🤷‍♀️

And your husband is not 'people'...if you can't lick a sodding yoghurt lid in front of your spouse, there's something wildly wrong!!

How are you with him licking 'other things'?

Definitely a perfectly normal thing to do in front of your spouse and kids. I couldn't live with someone who didn't allow me a bit of yoghurt linkage.

I scrape it off the lid with a spoon. I’ve never licked a lid since I cut my tongue on a foil gold top from a milk bottle age 5 😂 It’s not something we do in our house, yoghurt is scraped off the lid with a spoon, no licking involved. I used to work with someone who licked the top of her yoghurt pot, the full staffroom used to look at her with cats bum faces.

You lick plates? 🤢

You can't scrape it all off with a spoon
Better just to lick it
It's not the outside of the wrapper. And I lick other wrappers if the chocolate has melted a little for example

And no wasting the last bits of crisps either

I assumed that was what she meant! Scaring them away by making a blatant pass. I think most of my houseguests would scarper if I unexpectedly threw myself at them.

I've got yoghurt pots in the house that have it written on the top that I'm allowed to lick the other side of the lid. I mean that's permission from the actual yoghurt, surely that counts for something.

I'm quite possibly a little bit odd but I really dislike the very thought of licking something, let alone actually doing it. I eat yogurt every day, on my own, and I never lick the lid, though I do scrape it with a spoon if there's a lot of it on the lid because it would be wasteful not to. I don't like the sounds made by licking and slurping.

I mean I didn't chastise him or anything!
We just had a conversation about whether it was a thing. I do find it a bit ick, but it's not like I've put a household ban on it!
We just weren't sure which of our opinions was the more common/normal.

Hilariously, I posted on here a couple of years ago about how some of his table manners gave me the ick and overwhelmingly the response was LTB and that I shouldn't marry him!

Very glad I did not heed that and to those of you "concerned" that me being a bit funny about table manners might affect my sex life. Fear not.

But also I know I'm odd about table manners, hence the checking.

I never do as DM told me I would cut my tongue on the lid's foil edges.

It's always put me off, I use a spoon.

Spouses dont count. Mine has seen me lick my plate.

Acceptable if you are aged 5 or younger.

I always lick the lid. I also lick the bowl when I have a bowl of ice cream. I refrain from licking plates and bowls when around non-family members though, as much as it pains me to waste those last delicious drops.

I don't like thick yogurt so no, I wouldn't. Whether or not it's normal to lick the lid, I have no idea.

A Proper Grown-Up understands the price of food and about food waste so would not throw it away. It's not unclean to lick a lid.

I imagine it's pretty normal...my husband does it to annoy me! I personally find it a it gross.
