The most annoying fucking thing in the world

[Freinddilemma]

I live with someone who puts the butter dish in the fridge?

Why the fuckbwiuld you do that?

Every morning without fail I have to piss around dragging cold hard lumps of butter around my toast.

We get through so much butter its not like its going to go off if left iut, we are not living in a tropical climate.

Really grinds my gears

I’m evil enough to use Lurpack, I’m afraid. Solves arguments though.

M&S do a softer butter that is good to go straight from the fridge and has no oil added..... Just sayin!

I have been known to have slices of cold butter on toast.

This is the best (and funniest) thread I’ve been on for ages!

I'm lactose intolerant and only discovered lactose-free butter a few years ago and I can't get enough of it now. 😋

OP, would semi-melting your butter work for you? If you put some in a cup, mic'd it, then stirred it around it could work. I could get behind fully melting butter and dipping toast into it as another option. 😋 The only other alternative I can think of might be taking a hammer to the dominant hand of the offending person you live with. 🤔

Me too and I like it on crumpets too, but rock hard butter is a bastard when you are making sandwiches.

Ordered!

Thanks for that ear worm! 😂

I agree with pp split the block in half and keep yours ( sensibly) on the worktop and theirs in the coldest part of the fridge.
I have a glass butter dish that's about 20 years old but if I ever need to replace it I will buy a French butter bell like this.

I don’t know about this song!

@ScottBakula ooh thank you for that link. It’s DH’s birthday very soon so I’ve just ordered that for him. Me.
He will love it. Nearly as much as me.

Great hack

At least the butter is in the dish. I live with someone who puts empty jars back in the fridge. That is the most annoying fucking thing in the world.

I have this. Someone is always piling the dishes up next to the dishwasher, and then leaving me to fill it.

Trouble is, I live on my own 🤦‍♂️

Came on to endorse the butter bell!!! I’ve had mine 8 weeks and it’s changed my life 😁

I love the hot knife idea, never thought of that!!!

We are currently on a S/C holiday
DH bought utterly butterly I am considering LTB

It’s not been great tbh

Is it wrong for me to accidentally break my glass butter dish so I can buy one ?

Years ago I floated the name Your Own Personal Cheeses for a Christmas cheese hamper. Marketing didn't go for it

Often sung in my house when we have cheeses.

Obtain yourself a second butter dish and block of butter, and put it in a cupboard the other person rarely uses. Be free from this butter curse each morning!

My butter dish is metal. I wouldn't recommend that!

Can I just say NOTHING irritates me more than when you’re given some frozen butter pats with your scone. WTF are you supposed to do with them? Utterly pointless. Even worse when you’re given a plastic / wooden / paper knife to spread it with.

My whole family insist on putting jam in the fridge. I hate cold jam on hot toast!

If we were the sort of family who eeked out a pot of jam for weeks and were worried about it going off, fair enough! But we are lucky if it lasts 2 weeks in our house.

No to cold jam!

My DP has switched to flora margarine to help bring his cholesterol down so we no longer have this argument. My butter is now in the fridge where it belongs.

His cholesterol is still high, eating margarine is just wrong. Enjoy your butter, folks.
