So, my fairly new wife watched me get a couple of pieces of bread out of the bread sack yesterday. After getting my two slices, I took the bread bag by the loose top, twirled it into a loose knot and tucked it under the rest of the loaf. My wife objected to this and said that I had to put the tie wire back on to keep it fresh. I said that was "anal" and she replied with a cast iron skillet. So, my friends, what say you? Twist and tuck or replace the original tie device?

I used to do the spin and tuck but surrendered to the shaking finger and frown. 
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

Move into your own place, then twist 'n tuck  (Also - watch what you want, leave the toilet seat up, drunk as much as you want, smoke in the house .. the list goes on) .

Oh! My! Your poor wife. I'll bet you hang the toilet paper backwards, too. How do you live with yourself?

I twirl/twist the loose top and clip it with a clothes pin folding the remaining bit underneath the loaf. My GF actually accepted that and started doing it herself! We all have to make compromises and on that rare occasion it was not me

I recall reading an article on this topic once. It seems to be a gender specific issue.
And in all such matters you are assumed to be in the wrong!

I spin the bag buy the open end and tuck it under, just easier and makes no difference. Now the skillet over such a minor issue is a horse of a different color.

Next time she gets the skillet out, tell her to get her ass back in the kitchen and to make you some bacon and eggs
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Exactly. You might need your wife’s approval next time you want a new bike. Something to think about.

Tell her that when she married you, she was obliged to come under the 50/50 relationship clause..... you're in charge for the first 50 years.... she the second 50....

Ultimately I think it comes down to who paid for the loaf...Try that one on and see how it works.
