Am I a “psychopath?” (Light hearted)

My friend’s DD has just called me a “psychopath” because she has discovered that I butter hot dog buns when serving/eating hotdogs (The ones from the glass jars made of god knows what…)

My other friends present also think this is strange.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one!

I don't butter the rolls personally, but can't see a problem with doing so!!

InterestedDad37 · 04/07/2025 16:16

Nope, not strange 😀🌭🌭🌭

Well so long as you don't weigh 22 stone and have orange hair, you're fine. A Freudian might, however, make something of your desire to have a good lick of a long greasy warm phallick symbol, but that's for you to work out.

I wouldn't think hot dog buns need buttering, esp as I'd use ketchup and mustard. But I don't butter anything, it reminds me of my grandma having butter on everything. I only butter toast where it will melt

It's more "psychopath" to not butter your rolls 😱

Don't worry, it's not so bad. My DH butters fucking iced buns...

My grandma used to butter Rich Tea biscuits AND chocolate digestives … I think if it was a food that presented any kind of a flat plain, it got buttered.

My mother used to fry the hot dog in butter and then butter and fry the bun. Great with mustard and relish. It’s not something I do bc hot dogs are kind of gross whether in glass bottles or packaging but I’m always up for a dirty water dog in nyc.

Agree, butter!
I wish they buttered ‘show burger’ buns too.
at horseshows if I am paying £7 for a burger, I at least want butter on the bun

Yeah this always annoys me

Firstly: mayonnaise on a hot dog. Just NO.

Secondly: why butter on a scone with cream and jam? Surely the cream replaces the butter element?

However, I know somebody who fills a glass with water and then adds diluting juice. Now THAT'S the behavior of a true degenerate.

Yep. You’re a psychopath. Both for buttering the rolls 🤮 and eating those hideous hot dogs 🤢

Can't be worse than a Costco hotdog.
Every bite makes me wonder what manner of things they put in them. Doesn't help that they're juicy 😵‍💫

Idontcareforthat · 02/07/2025 21:11

I’m much more disturbed by the notion that some people don’t butter scones.

I have IBS and you don’t know the trouble I go to to find suitable vehicles for butter…most gluten free stuff is rank.

My advice is ABBP (always butter bread products)

CarelessUdder · 02/07/2025 21:02

If you can put butter on something, you should. Well done for doing the right thing. It sounds delicious

I don't like butter at all so yeah you are 🤣

Me too

MoriftedinaFrenchEscapeRoom · 02/07/2025 19:26

I don't butter hotdogs, but no bacon sandwich is complete without a healthy layer of mayonnaise (and butter).

This is just a comment of a person who has no clue what ‘psychopath’ means. Don’t worry.

Nikki75 · 02/07/2025 19:19

😩🤢 on both.

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 02/07/2025 19:11

I’ve never tried but butter is delicious on most things so I will be trying it in the near future.

Nameychangington · 02/07/2025 19:07

There's a thread on FWR at the moment where they're all putting bananas with curry. Butter in hot dog bun is nowhere close to that madness.

Hankunamatata · 02/07/2025 19:03

Dh loves to butter everything. But even he doesnt do hotdogs or burger buns!
Yes op your a psychopath 😂😂😂

Flossy1985 · 02/07/2025 19:01

I found it strange when my partner asked for his to be buttered even burger buns. I’ve got used to it now 😅

BeanQuisine · 02/07/2025 00:53

Should always be buttered, IMO. The melting butter is part of the fun.
