So me 27f and my husband 32m were in a heated discussion about msg. I was insisting if you used tajin and adobo, you don’t need msg because those two seasonings are salty enough. He was like wtf it’s not salty and we decided I’d try it. (I was wrong BTW)
There’s the context.
He went to the kitchen and got the msg and tapped a little out on my hand. It was shards?? So I didn’t want to toss an entire pinch of something salty in my mouth, i used my nail to scoot away a couple shards and used my tongue to pick it up. I HUMBLY conceded to my husband and casually dropped the remainder behind the couch and picked my phone back up. He was like did you seriously just do that? Our roommate was there and asked what happened. When my husband told him, he was equally appealed. He said something about deep seeded something something how i treat my home. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I just had surgery and I’m tired and weak laying on the couch and tbh couldn’t be fucked to get up. My logic is it’s not sugar it won’t attract bugs, it’s basically equivalent to sand and we track in more than a pinch of that in just a few hours in our household of 8. I just didn’t feel like it was that big of a deal. But if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Aita?
YTA wtf is wrong with you? How lazy are you?
YTA
You’re saying it’s basically sand, let’s imagine it was sand. It’s not friendly to just throw dirt around the house!
YTA, why not throw it into a tissue or put it back in your plate? Regardless of what it is, it’s still dirtying up your house and your roommate and husband don’t like it
YTA
How is this even a question? Don’t throw things on the floor for some else to clean up. Surely you could have given it back to your husband or asked for a napkin. Now someone else gets to vacuum or sweep behind the couch.
Your roommates comment makes it sound like this is normal behavior for you. That’s not ok.
YTA.
When you live alone, the seasonings you throw on the floor are your own business. When you live with other people, you have a responsibility to keep the space clean and comfortable for them. Both of your housemates are telling you they don’t want to live in a “throw shit on the floor because I’m too lazy to get up” household, consider yourself overruled.
Kind of YTA.
I’m just not sure why you would throw seasonings on the floor? Were you going to mop it up, or wait for someone else to clean it?
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a huge deal ( I don’t think might would attract ants the way dropped sugar would, … maybe…) but YTA for making a mess. Just toss it in the sink or the trash next time.
YTA. From what you describe, you might also be eight years old, which throws the ethics of your marriage deeply into question.
It’s one of those things that probably doesn’t cause that much harm in the long run but still feels really audacious to do. My husband would probably be flabbergasted if I did that as well.
YTA, I guess. Even if it’s not attracting pests (and you’re suddenly an expert about what MSG does or doesn’t attract when it sounds like you don’t really know what it is?) you’re making a bit of a mess that’s going to have to be cleaned up eventually when you easily could have eaten the rest, gotten up or asked your husband for help disposing of it. Also if anyone else in the house doesn’t want it there, now they have to move the whole couch to clean it up.
YTA. This was a really strange thing to do. There were so many other options here.
YTA. If you just had surgery and that makes it painful to move, why didn’t you just ask for a napkin or tissue to put it in? You could’ve asked your husband to throw it away for you. It’s disrespectful to your husband and roommate to intentionally dirty the space.
YTA and a slob
Can’t believe you’d do this in a SHARED home. If you lived alone at least you’d have some excuse
Yeah, YTA.
Also, rodents like MSG so much that it is used in rodent bait so you may not attract bugs, but you’ll surely attract rats and mice.
YTA. It’s just gross. To me, it’s on par with wiping a dirty hand on the couch instead of grabbing a napkin. Why are you throwing anything on the floor? Eat it, put it on something, give it back to your husband. Anything but casually putting it on the floor.
YTA. Directly on the floor is bad enough but BEHIND THE COUCH?? So that whoever has to clean up after your ass bc you’re too “tired and weak” has to move furniture to do it?? This goes beyond no home training.
