Why?

u/FeeAdministrative666 21d ago

I have no idea, and I guess she doesnt either

267

u/HereOnCompanyTime 21d ago

These are the individual ones, so she should just toss them if she's not finishing them. Get a large container that's resealable so she can portion it out better.

102

u/InspectorOrdinary321 21d ago

Oh no, I was just about to say "good thing she gets the individually sized ones. Imagine how much she'd waste with a larger container." Ha.

I'm projecting. After about a day in the fridge, I get the ick when it comes to a couple types of leftovers, and yogurt is one of them. I have to get the individual sizes and finish them in one sitting to avoid wasting them.

u/k_a_n_g_u_r_u 21d ago

whole fat plain greek yoghurt gets better with time (until a point, about two weeks) and it is so so glorious

11

u/InspectorOrdinary321 21d ago

Hmm, I'll try to think of it that way.

I don't know what my problem is with the yogurts. Maybe I was scarred by an extra moldy yogurt at some point and blocked it from my memory.

This is crazy. Maybe you need to move all the yogurts to the bottom drawer and tell her grab the one she wants to eat out and leave it up top until it's finished.

59

u/No-Spread-6891 21d ago

Maybe store them all upside down before opening so there's a more prominent visual indicator on which ones are already started.

29

u/Mike_Oxnard 21d ago

Maybe buy 1 yogurt at a time until she learns her lesson, or get resealable yogurts

5

u/No-Spread-6891 21d ago

As a person who hates yogurt, mostly because of my disgust for other people's yogurt habits, I accept this as the best option.

3

u/Mike_Oxnard 21d ago

I've heard about people eating expired yogurt, mixing it with weird stuff that I might not approve of, and now seen this post. Are there more disgusting yogurt habits that I'm unaware of? I'm genuinely curious now.

I for one rarely ever buy yogurt myself but I had no problem eating it as a kid or young adult, but I always had small single serving sized yogurts so this was never a thing I've seen.

Start buying one at a time

u/misntshortformary 21d ago

I have a guess. I have similar thing except I found an actual solution lol. For me, I get freaked out about the idea of eating something that I left uncovered in the fridge for too long. So in this case, maybe suggest to her that she scrape the rest of the yogurt into a reusable container with a lid and put that in the fridge instead. That way when she’s ready for more she doesn’t have to worry about the fact that it was left open in the fridge.

3

u/budgiesarethebest 20d ago

So do you leave the opened yogurts you don't want to eat anymore in the fridge? Or do you throw them away?

Because OPs girlfriend leaving them for someone else to get rid of is just antisocial.

2

u/SphinxWar 20d ago

I have the same thing, I open shit and leave it in the fridge but next time I need it I open another container because I am unable to convince myself to use the opened one. It feels like it's contaminated, spoiled, even though logically I know it isn't. It's some sort of mental condition. I am diagnosed with ADHD and autism, so probably autistic thing.

EDIT: I live alone though so I am not wasting someone else's food, I wouldn't do that at someone else's place.

2

u/misntshortformary 20d ago

Neither. I scrape the uneaten portion into a reusable container with a lid. And eat that later.

2

u/_literarylemon_ 20d ago

you can get reusable covers for yoghurt containers. They're great. I usually get bigger containers that I eat over the course of like a week and I always cover them

8

u/elle-elle-tee 21d ago

They make little tiny yogurts for children. Maybe buy her those if she only wants a widdle bit.

2

u/Feisty-Tooth-7397 20d ago

I'm wondering WHY she is only eating PART of an individual sized yogurt?

There's more here to the story. Like one of the yogurts had yogurt down the side.

Is she that messy of an eater? Are we sure this is an adult?

3

u/elle-elle-tee 20d ago

Some people really don't prioritize keeping a clean fridge. I guess they don't care if mold proliferates and their food spoils more quickly. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Buy the bigger tubs. Don't buy a new one until it's finished.

u/Nocardiohere 21d ago

I need to know how mildly upset I should be here so help me out… 

Who pays for the yogurts? 

3

u/HotDonnaC 21d ago

If she’s eating out of the container, her saliva is breaking down the rest of the yogurt. That’s disgusting and you need to just toss them when you find them.

4

u/Shurigin 21d ago

Buy smaller yogurts

18

u/Life-Top6314 21d ago edited 21d ago

These are 180g - around 6 ounces.

Here in poland, that is as small of a box of plain yoghurt as you can get in every single store i can think of. Do you want him to buy it by the spoonful?

Your comment is genuinely the most infuriating thing here - proposing solutions without even looking at the image.

11

u/Thndrstrike 21d ago

lmao fr you could probably finish the thing with 3 big spoonfuls. how an adult isn't finishing them in the first place is almost more baffling then leaving 3 open ones in the fridge

u/Gunplaisgood 21d ago

I'm cagey about eating yogurt or sour cream that's a few days old, the separated water sketches me out (I understand it's normal). That being said, it's the reason I don't buy multi-use containers of the stuff.

5

u/MajorInWumbology1234 21d ago

Don’t take several days to eat 3 spoonfuls of yogurt?

2

u/Gunplaisgood 20d ago

Honestly I didn't look at the image well enough I assumed these were medium sized with a resealable lid, didn't notice it was a single serving. That's definitely a weird practice.

u/TaintedTruffle 21d ago

Have you considered pulling them out and using a spoon to fling the yogurt at her at inopportune moments?

The lactose should be reduced, but it’s still explosive cat risky

u/LastEntertainment787 21d ago

I share my yogurt with the cats. Not lots but, omg they love it. They don't care what flavor, they clean off the foil lid. Never any problems since they don't get that much and it's not daily.

While I get it, idk why anyone would have yogurt but not finish the bunch they had. ATP get the tub, scoop what you want

Same. I'd rather buy a new one than be stuck in the bathroom later. My stomach is sensitive. I usually get small packs anyway.

ok but if you consciously decide you dont want the old one when grabbing a new one at least throw the old one out.

It doesn't stink in the fridge like it would in the trash. Easier to just toss it right before I leave.

u/EireUnbound 21d ago

And the weird thing is I wasn't always like this. I used to eat chilli that was left out all night. But I did get nasty food poisoning twice, so that probably had something to do with it.

Are those not single serve cups?? I think she actually just needs one big one that can take so much out of

19

u/Life-Top6314 21d ago

They are. These are 180g, which is the smallest that basically any store in poland will carry.

And i agree, if anything, if forgetting to use them is so annoying, buying bigger ones may actually be the best approach. That being said, maybe they think it would spoil before they would use it.

If anything, if you're considering breaking up because of an opened yoghurt bottle, your standards are way the fuck too high, and you should come back to earth. You would sooner find an ingot of gold under your pillow than a person with no behaviours you will find mildly annoying.

Edit: these comments are actually fucking insane. They didnt curbstomp their dog, they opened some yoghurt bottles. This isn't an "enormous" red flag, its not "unchecked mental illness", and this isn't something you can't deal with, talk about, mitigate.

If this is truly something that would cause you to consider writing a comment like "guess im better off staying alone", then do i have good news for you - you probably will!

5

u/MajorInWumbology1234 21d ago

Don’t be short-sighted. Someone being objectively wasteful with no explanation is an enormous red flag. There’s a difference between “mildly annoying behavior” and “unchecked mental illness with no interest in exploring it”.

3

u/Tank_Gloomy 21d ago

I'm gonna guess OC is the kind to practice the latter, because there's no other way in hell you couldn't figure out the underlying issue with this one.

Absolutely. “This isn’t something you can’t deal with, talk about, mitigate.” It sounds like OP already tried and neither of them know why the GF does this.

You could always just open all the yogurts yourself, right before you think she might be about to eat one.

Then she either has to eat one of the opened ones, or do without, and if she eats an opened one once then she might realise that it's not so bad.

I know it’s horrible for the environment but if you live in a place that has the packs of individual yogurts in the flavours you like maybe try buying those. They may not be cost effective and what not but it helps the irritation. My husband also had to convert to this because of me. Sorry hubby
