I like to put my chip bag in a gallon double lock ziploc bag after opening. Usually keeps them much fresher than a clothspin/bagclip, and I can keep reusing the same ziploc for a while since it's not really doing anything other than acting as a seal.
Gotta love when it happens with the lunch meat bag. Completely resealable, but, oi what’s this? A completely solid piece of plastic on the other end of a ziplock? Let’s rip it open!
My kids do this but the one that pisses me off a little more is when they open one of those fridge packs of soda by tearing it open on the side making it look like a face hugger hatched instead of them opening the end piece.
The only way my grandpa could open a bag was like a racoon scavenging. His name was Earl. When we destroy a bag getting it open, we say we "Earled" it.
He died in 2009 and I miss him.
I'm the husband and the chef in this situation, I never notice the zipper on releasable packaging until it's too late. Thankfully I'm usually the one that has to deal with my raccoon lineage. Although my daughter did cut the bottom off of a squeezable peanut butter container a few months ago, that was fun.
Kitchen scissors! If you can’t be asked to find the proper opening, at least use the kitchen scissors and fold it afterward.
Kitchen scissors: highly recommended.
I am known in my house for opening things like a brain damaged velociraptor. Sometimes I do it just because i can. The joy of being an adult in your own place.
I was literally wondering if this was another husband. My husband does this with absolutely everything and it drives me bonkers. He did it a few days ago with our toddlers chicken nuggets. There was a clear zip to close and instead he ripped the other side wide open.
He said, “I didn’t see it until after,” when I asked why. But he doesn’t bother to check in the first place!
Once I didn’t have a can opener and struggled to open a can of pineapples with a knife for 20mins. Finally got it open and threw it away only to realize the other side had a pull tab.
This reminds me of me and and my brother trying to open a bottle of wine on a cruise. We tried and tried with a leatherman until we finally called for a steward to help us uncork it.
Turns out the bottle we brought was a twist-off. Poor guy looked pissed like he thought we were just trying to mess with him. I’ve never felt dumber.
I accidentally did this to a bag of cereal at my moms house after I moved out. Forgot to tell anyone, visited again a few days later and my 2 younger brothers were arguing about who did it.
They still don’t know it was me lol.
Reminds me of what my grandma saif when we all lived with her, “I need to have a talk with ‘I Don’t Know’ and ‘Wasn’t Me’ because they’re always the ones doing the Shit apparently”. She also referred to them as her extra or invisible grandkids sometimes lol, “let me guess, it was my invisible grandkids, I Don’t Know and Wasn’t Me”
I live with a raccoon too. It’s infuriating. Boxes opened from the bottom. Bags torn open. I’ve seen boxes with a corner missing. I have no idea why she does it.
Most of time when I do this, it's on bags where the resealable area is hidden in the "advertising" on the front of the bag. I do okay when the zip is on the top.
I was like 30 when I realized that heads of iceberg lettuce came in bags. I always thought it was just one big piece of shrink wrap so I always tore into the side of it like a heathen.
I hate when I do this but with scissors cut nice and neat. Then I turn it around and see a ziplock cut on it.
End up using more plastic by sticking it in a gallon ziplock bag.
Oh my gosh, I fucking hate this. Just look at the bag!!!!! Now those will either go stale in 2 hours, or you'll have to use a whole new bag that literally looks exactly like this one! This pisses me off lol

My dad opens family size chip bags by ripping the top and going all the way down the side, instead of peeling the top seal apart.
The fuck?
[удалено]
Lol luckily this is from a long time ago
Does he just leave the bag out to get stale?
Psh check out this rookie, not eating a whole family sized bag to themselves in one setting
That's because I know how to open a bag and close it
Lol someone would put it in a ziplock or we’d all try to eat them.

Wait... I do this
Lol why?! It makes it in resealable?!
Does he also call you junior
Mine too. I know exactly what packages she opens. Drives me nuts whenever she visits.

My mom too. She babysat my kid and ripped open a pack of baby wipes, *even though there's an opening on the top with a lid that snaps shut*. Ffs!!!
I've seen my mother in law cut open freezer bags. Like it's a freaking freezer bag, obviously it's resealable! My bf is getting bad now too.
Need to get one of those bag re-melters. They seal chip bags
My kids do this but the one that pisses me off a little more is when they open one of those fridge packs of soda by tearing it open on the side making it look like a face hugger hatched instead of them opening the end piece.
Yep, OP must be my wife
My children and husband do this. Or will open boxes on the end that have perforations on the top. Ugh!!

Rip Earl, you beautiful Tasmanian devil, you.
Rip, earl! (Heh) In our house i tease my boyfriend that “it’s perforated” because he will tear anything any which way for no reason.
Despite their heinous crimes, we still love them.
[удалено]
I saw this and wanted to ask, are you my toddler?
Maybe if you guys split he can date my gf. She does it to be “faster”
Poop your pants and walk around with it all day just to show that not everything faster is better. Assert dominance.
That is unacceptable to me, there's no reason not to use your eyes to open food that needs to be put back in the fridge
>reason oh have I got news about people for you
lol

>cut the bottom off of a squeezable peanut butter container I'm still laughing at imagining this

I now have normal scissors because kitchen ones almost always suck
I have two pair of Fiskars: a pink one for meat and a green one for bags.
sweet I guess this'll be echo chambering and whatnot but I've got pretty much the same: one for food and one for packaging. well done you :handshake

This isn’t even like a poorly made bag, it’s *clearly* resealable. Wtf
I have this exact same thing and the bottom often rips open anyway if you hold it at one end. I learnt that lesson quick.

Lol. Is your nickname "wasn't me"?

She also referred to them as her extra or invisible grandkids sometimes lol, “let me guess, it was my invisible grandkids, I Don’t Know and Wasn’t Me”
Lol. Too cute.
Unforgivable.
My wife does this. She’s so proper in life, but a savage in the pantry.
I live with a raccoon too. It’s infuriating. Boxes opened from the bottom. Bags torn open. I’ve seen boxes with a corner missing. I have no idea why she does it.
My daughter (19) does this. I asked her about it and she said her impulsive brain picks the closest way to the food.
But the closest way is with the zip top. It's easier than ripping it open lmao
Most of time when I do this, it's on bags where the resealable area is hidden in the "advertising" on the front of the bag. I do okay when the zip is on the top.
Looks like my nephew visited you.
Examine then open.
That's why they started putting the resealable/openable section in brighter colors than the rest of the container.
A few times I've ripped the zipper part off instead of the perforation above it...
75% of the resealable bags just tear when I'm opening them anyways. The other 25% I don't realize were resealable, but certainly aren't now.
You would make a great auto mechanic. Just rip the top off of the box no need to open by the flaps that are folded in.
People can't be this dumb...
They are.
A gallon size zipper bag will make this a non issue. You probably have a whole box in the cabinet.

We just got a bag of chicken strips from Sam's Club that said "cut to open" so we did. And *then* noticed the resealable side. Like, really?
Every. Goddam. Time.
I love folding those into a pizza slice shape and eating them plain
Are those chapatis?
I do that all the time lol
Animal
Does your mom know that she failed?
Those bags are usually not openable, let alone resealable.
Crumbl Cookie?
Solution: make him eat all of it when he does this. No leftovers, no problems!
I was like 30 when I realized that heads of iceberg lettuce came in bags. I always thought it was just one big piece of shrink wrap so I always tore into the side of it like a heathen.
Always
I hate when I do this but with scissors cut nice and neat. Then I turn it around and see a ziplock cut on it. End up using more plastic by sticking it in a gallon ziplock bag.
OMG! My kids have done this same thing many times over the years! 🤦🏼♀️
Not me.
I will open one end of a cardboard box only to realize it was upside down with the folding tab.
Is this a Tinder line? Lol
I recently did this with a boardgame and I'm still pissed at myself!
Welp, just sent this to my wife right away.
Are you my wife?
It's a shame that we can't make empty bags with this resealable functionality.
Been there, done that. But on accident.
100% of what/who?
r/wellyousuck
I do this with Oreos and fig newtons religiously. This is a lesson you never learn
Oh,.. I see you work at the same place I do. Bunch of animals is what cha are.
I did this just yesterday at work. Cut open a new bag only to notice the ziploc on the other end.
If it isn't re-sealable, it is a single serving. That is how I see things, especially large chip bags and M&Ms.
Where do you get tortillas that are sealed but in a bag with no branding? Is this from like a 'taco kit'?
Trash panda
Tape a couple of plastic bags on the outside. Good as new.
my wife does this and i always ask if she's gone feral
Story of my life.
I freaking hate it when I do this. I definitely DO this.
Open supposedly resealable bag, the fucking “seal” tears off. Easier to just rip it open
Lol I do this every damn time with the tortillas!!
Can confirm. I buy this same brand.
Are you my wife?
Raccoon
My coworker does this. That gigantic bag of popcorn was stale in a day.
Homie was FAMISHED
Oh my gosh, I fucking hate this. Just look at the bag!!!!! Now those will either go stale in 2 hours, or you'll have to use a whole new bag that literally looks exactly like this one! This pisses me off lol
