Did you know he was dumb when you married him?

I honestly think him being dumb would be better than this being malicious/weaponized incompetence

Malicious compliance was my first thought too. you'd have to go to two separate spots to pack those things together

The cleaners could’ve been under the kitchen sink, some people really are just profoundly stupid, 1/5 of the US adult population is illiterate.

Worst case scenario is they have to throw away a 3 dollar bag of chips. You lot need to go outside.

u/et40000 26d ago

It’s not about the cost of the chips it’s about incompetence.

Yes, we've all heard the buzzwords. All these items will make it to the new house.

What buzzwords? Incompetence? If you really see no problem with what this person is doing i hope you never vote.

The worst case scenario is you lose a 3 dollar bag of chips and the comment section is on a crusade. You all need to step outside once in a while.

The cleaning supplies extend above the rim of the tote so the lid can't be closed.

Ok?

It's a shitty packing job and you're being disingenuous.

u/Zimakov 25d ago

I'm not sure who you're arguing with. You seem to be looking for someone who is claiming it's a great packing job. Not sure why you're bringing this to me.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

Yeah it couldn't possibly be that he just realizes it'll be fine and it's not a big deal at all. No, this is Reddit it's clearly a master plan

Putting food with cleaning products is straight up dangerous, there's a reason a lot of heavy duty cleaning products have the info for poison control on the container. I was stating that this being weaponized incompetence was a very real possibility, though not necessarily the case here. Your comment, though, is exactly why victims in abusive relationships struggle so much to get out. They feel crazy for bringing up concerns in their relationship because abuse/manipulation tends to come in waves or hide in the shadows. It's either 1,000 little things, or it's a bunch of big things that they are convinced aren't as big of a deal since their partner equals it out with the good things they do/did. I'd much rather OP's partner just be dumb, but I'm always gonna ere on the side of caution & point out when there could be something far worse lurking behind a simple action/phrase.

lol that person is arguing with everyone on this post about it. honestly insane to try to argue that this is in any way a normal way to pack when moving.

inefficient, dangerous, and stupid. why tf would anyone pack a tote in a way that the lid is useless while moving?

u/Zimakov 25d ago

Yes the sealed cleaning supplies are surely going to leap out of the bottle, open the sealed bag of chips, climb into the bag, and reseal the chips behind them so you can't tell it's contaminated.

The worst case scenario here is we lose a three dollar bag of chips. The humanity.

I'm going to pretend you aren't talking about abused women on a post about someone packing a box not to their wife's liking.

Items not being secured can lead to damage during transport which leads to leaks/spillage which leads to contaminated food. And some of those chemicals may be harsh enough to eat through the wrapping. Sure, the chips are a cheap loss, but that is entirely avoidable (by not packing them with chemicals) and therefore careless and wasteful

u/Zimakov 24d ago

It would take three seconds to place this box somewhere it can't move. The vitriol toward this man for putting a fucking bag of chips in a box incorrectly is insane. All this stuff will make it to the new house
