Showing Original Post only (View all)Differences in attitudes between men and women when it comes to twist ties [View all]
I'm referring to those annoying wire ties used to tie up a loaf of bread in a bag, and which my wife persists on fishing out of the garbage where I've thrown it in righteous anger, and then uses to tie the bag up again. I hate them. OK, maybe my hands are too big, but simply folding the bag under the loaf and using a breadbasket is more than sufficient to combat the scourge of stale bread without the added frustration.
I have a theory. I think men hate the damn things and women love them. I base this on conversations with my wife, my sister, and a bloke I met in a pub once, so it's statistically sound. If I can replicate these opinions on DU, maybe I'll turn this into a thesis.

Men and woman are the exact same, you sexist pig! And why did you put men first in these options? | |

OP
This is what I do, too. I hate them on the bag and save them for other uses.

I think twist ties are useful. But I wouldn't go so far as to say I like them. nt
