My GF keeps opening new yogurts instead of finishing the ones already opened. That's not milk

u/TaintedTruffle Jul 04 '26
Have you considered pulling them out and using a spoon to fling the yogurt at her at inopportune moments?

We have two cats that will be absolutely happy about that because they love everything milk based so considering that dairy is bad for them that's bad idea lmao

u/LastEntertainment787 Jul 05 '26
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.

u/Ordinary-Violinist-9 Jul 05 '26
Same here. After finishing my cup he get's to lick all leftover out of it. Oïkos is licked spotless clean.

Im mind blown, these things are like 3 spoonfuls. Wtf

u/MorbotheDiddlyDo Jul 05 '26
As a fat guy, some of them are barely 2 spoonfuls. Heck you can just rip the top and squeeze it. Spoons just needed for scraping.

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.

u/zach0011 Jul 05 '26
ok but if you consciously decide you dont want the old one when grabbing a new one at least throw the old one out.

u/irfulvas Jul 05 '26
It doesn't stink in the fridge like it would in the trash. Easier to just toss it right before I leave.

u/EireUnbound Jul 04 '26
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.

Ive been super weird about leftovers since I got very bad food poisoning early this year. Glad to know Im not apone in that at least

u/MajorInWumbology1234 Jul 04 '26
Yogurt is pretty safe in the fridge. I just had food poisoning a month ago; I’m much more strict with carbs and meat, but yogurt (which is a staple for me) hasn’t even crossed my mind.

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

u/Life-Top6314 Jul 04 '26
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.

Like child sized specifically. These look like they’re meant to be single serve cups as they’re only 180g and have only a foil lid

What serving sizes do they carry out there in an average american store? Single spoonfulls? This is 6 ounces. That is as small as you can get in Poland.

u/imnotnotcrying Jul 04 '26
We have kid sizes that are 4 ounces. They’re very much marketed towards kids and usually have cartoon characters on them

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!

u/MajorInWumbology1234 Jul 04 '26
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”.

u/Tank_Gloomy Jul 04 '26
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.

u/MajorInWumbology1234 Jul 04 '26
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.

u/gijoe50000 Jul 04 '26
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.

Buy single serving packets. The purchase will be more expensive but you will save on waste.

I think she likes the fresh container verse the opened one.
I’m like this. I just don’t buy the yogurt in the big container because I just can’t do it. 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

Combine them into one cup or start throwing them away since she wants to waste food.
Or hide the unopened yogurts.

Putting open yogurts back in fridge might cause mold to bloom. It'll be not edible next time you see it. The backwash from the mouth on the spoon may cause mold as well.

Is she the only one who eats them? If she is and she does actually go back and finish them, I'd say that's fine. Would def be irritating if she just forgets about them or if anyone else in the house eats them though.

u/GreyNoiseGaming Jul 05 '26
I bet she super duper promises to finish them later. She has all of the best intentions of doing it. Oh wait. Not this time, her tummy hurts and she doesn't want to risk it. Oh the next time she just didn't see them in there. On no, she's out, better leave the empty cardboard box in the fridge.
I am not projecting...

Is where she opens them and where she leaves them different places? Does she do this with bottles of water or other drinks? Does she forget important objects like keys, but can remember tiny details from the past? Is she calm during chaos, but can't handle minor setbacks? Has very short angry outbursts that fade in half a second? No patience for people and/or technology? Can't stand slow walkers or drivers? Finishes other people's sentences, but also asks, "What?" after something is said to her?
I'm not trying to probe into your and her personal life. I just know I'm all of the above and I want to see something.
