Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this?

My girlfriend will open a packet of ham, make a sandwich…

and then just put the packet back in the fridge open.

No clip.

No folding.

No attempt at sealing it.

Just straight back in like the fridge is some kind of magical preservation chamber.

In my head, I’m thinking:

  • air gets in
  • it dries out
  • it goes a bit crispy round the edges
  • and suddenly it’s “gone funny” three days earlier than it should have

But apparently, because it’s in the fridge, that’s fine.

I don’t know if this is just my house, or if other people live like this too, but to me that packet is now on borrowed time.

Am I being fussy…

or is leaving opened food exposed in the fridge absolute chaos?

Please tell me I’m not alone here.

The Great Toilet Roll Debate

Forget the whole toilet seat up or down argument for a second.

There’s a far more serious issue dividing households up and down the country…

Which way should the toilet roll face?

You’ve got two camps:

Camp 1: 

Flap Away From the Wall

Apparently:

  • it’s “more hygienic”
  • it doesn’t brush the wall
  • it’s the official way (according to someone, somewhere)

Fair enough.

Camp 2: 

Flap Against the Wall

This is where I’m at.

Why?

Because when the flap’s against the wall:

  • you can pull more than one square in one go
  • it doesn’t spin like a fruit machine
  • and if you’re a bit heavy-handed, you don’t end up ripping off one lonely square by mistake

Nothing worse than:

pull → rip → sigh → pull again

Like some sort of survival challenge.

And yes, this has caused actual arguments.

Real ones.

With words like “why do you keep changing it?” and “because your way is stupid” being exchanged.

So let’s settle it properly.

👉 Flap towards the wall

👉 Or flap away from the wall

Never mind what’s “correct”.

Which way do you do it… and why?
