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.

Who does this! :'(

Who does... what? What am I missing here? Somebody took some butter... weren't they allowed to? Was it yours and they used some without asking? I'm really lost.

    Have you been tested for autism and ocd?

    Nope. It's just mildly infuriating, not something I'd lose sleep over. If it started to mould because of bread crumbs in it, then I'd be more annoyed because of food wastage.

    Not sure why this would be infuriating. Someone just used the butter, whats wrong with that?

    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. :(

    Just pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes and back in the fridge. It’ll be GoOd aS NeW the next morning!

    It’s a TUB of butter… it’s one thing if it’s a free standing stick but you dig into a tub.

    Where is the after smoothing picture?

    Is this really butter or just margarine? It looks too soft for butter.

    In that case, a post well done.

    Gotta be honest, I’d probably do the same here. There’s no room on the sides to take from the side to not make it noticeable like that. Kind of like a cream cheese container.

    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.

    You have butter at work? And it’s shared?

    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.

    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
