I went to open the new container of butter at work and saw that someone else got there before me. Who does this! :'( Needless to say, I smoothed it out. I’ll get to see what it looks like when I’m back in on Monday.
Is anal retentive hyphenated?
This calls for a Butterian Jihad!
Is the infuriating part supposed to be that someone got to the butter before you? Or is it that you don’t like how it was scooped? What is the “correct” way if this is “incorrect”? Genuinely curious.
Not sure why this would be infuriating. Someone just used the butter, whats wrong with that?
Clearly they wanted to be first and it was mildly infuriating
Nah, OP probably likes to scrape a thin layer of butter off the top. This softens it a bit and makes it easier to spread straight out of the fridge onto toast.
Haha, great post. This wouldn’t annoy me, but it annoys you. So this is the community for that
I posted a picture of my loaded dishwasher to show people how my adult daughter just didn’t know how to do it. The responses were 50/50, half were annoyed at me for posting it, the other half annoyed at her because she’s so lousy at it LOL
Yay! Finally a post that’s mildly infuriating, instead of actually infuriating! I don’t care what the others say, you win this sub for the day in my book, OP!
Can I assume it’s the weird little flipped up part that’s the problem, not the fact of it having been scooped into? Because while it wouldn’t bother me, it would mean that little section is more exposed to air and that can be a negative over time. Oxidation is rarely a good thing in that situation.
If it’s just that it isn’t level, I don’t get the mild infuriation tbh.
I mean, it is mild infuriation
This is how I took this butter/margarine thing - it’s just a mild irritation, and thought I’d share something I thought could be relatable to some people. I didn’t realise I would ruffle so many feathers. Perhaps I have read the room wrong and I shouldn’t have posted here?
Where is the after smoothing picture?
This is the equivalent of making ski slopes in cheese
I’m thinking this is really because you don’t like your job.
It’s a TUB of butter… it’s one thing if it’s a free standing stick but you dig into a tub.
But you can’t spread a blob of butter as easily as slices. Do they eat it with a spoon?
Have you ever had a tub of butter? You just slide the butter knife across the top and it creates a thin slice of butter. You don’t scoop a blob of it. Just think about it for a second.
You don’t scoop a blob of it.
But they did here.
Maybe they didn’t have a knife
You have butter at work? And it’s shared?
I’m not sure I’m understanding. It’s margarine or spreadable butter in a tub. How is someone supposed to use it? If I need a could tablespoons of it, what should I do that isn’t that?
I also always skim off the top to keep it level. I feel you, friend.
Like I said in another comment, I thought I’d share something I thought could be relatable to some people. I thought it was pretty innocent and I didn’t realise I would ruffle so many feathers. :(
It’s fine. All this really means is together you have generated multiple posts worthy of this sub with a single photo. Very efficient of you, I appreciate it.
Doesn’t seem too bothersome to me
