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.

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

Where is the after smoothing picture?

Oh, someone forgot to add breadcrumbs there

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

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

This calls for a Butterian Jihad!

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

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.

Doesn't seem too bothersome to me

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

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!

Is anal retentive hyphenated?

Have you considered pushing your comfort level with your next new tub of butter?

You could put a knife in the middle and twist

You could segment it into smaller blocks inside

You could dig a bit out if each corner.

Personally typing those idea made me feel sick so I understand your rationale.

This is the equivalent of making ski slopes in cheese

What's wrong with that? Keeping margarine level when you use it is not something I've ever seen done before.

Side note - margarine is not butter! It's a dyed oil product made to mimic butter.

Butter doesn't come in tubs.

I’m thinking this is really because you don’t like your job.

Ignore all the armchair psychologists, this is definitely mildly infuriating, along with people who leave the microwave with a few seconds left so you can't see the time and you also need to cancel their remainder before you can use it.
