Man urged to 'dump' girlfriend over grocery shopping habit

Domestic bliss can be a beautiful part of a long-term relationship, but achieving it can be a battle.

One man has shared how his girlfriend puts away their groceries after a trip to the supermarket, and the seemingly simple task has angered people across the Internet.

Sharing a photo of his pantry to Reddit, the man fumed about his girlfriend's habit of leaving all their groceries in the original plastic bags from the supermarket when she puts them away.

The image shows three separate bags, filled to the brim with food items and thrust upon the second shelf in the couple's cupboard.

It's enough to make Marie Kondo shudder, weep and spring into action to "spark joy" on the couple's storage.

Though we all have different approaches to stocking our shelves, this particular method has infuriated people, with Reddit users slamming the woman's laziness.

"How can a single picture make me so angry?" asked one commenter.

"Laziness has reached a whole new level," remarked another.

The rage didn't stop there, with commenters urging the man to "dump" his girlfriend for her actions.

"Honestly this would be a deal breaker for me, if you're that lazy our lifestyles are not compatible," claimed one.

"There's no other way, you have to throw the whole girlfriend away," said another.

"This relationship is doomed. End it now," urged a third.

Others took the opportunity to air their own grievances with their partners.

One commenter said their roommate did the same thing when stocking up their fridge, often forgetting what they purchased in the first place.

"They forget what they bought and never cared to check what's in the opaque plastic bags, so they double purchase the next time, and let the old stuff rot," they wrote.

Another said they'd been less tolerant of poor domestic behaviours like this as they grew older, sharing their list of unacceptable actions.

"It's an instant turn off when she treats my place like a hotel room," they wrote.

From opening a new bottle of juice when one was still half-full, to "taking a bite from a new chocolate bar then leaving it on the sofa," the Redditor said these were sure-fire signs not to "contact them again".
