That crap is so nasty! Seriously, how can you eat it?

*gag*

fiancee is allergic to gluton. (aka flour)

so yes is your answer

My Wife doesn't complain, because I don't do such.
She, on the on the other hand, does this constantly, not only crumbs, but also with the jelly, jam, whatever.
It kinda disturbs me for some strange reason, but not enough to start an argument about.

There is an easy fix for this. Just use a different knife each time you get more butter. No more crumbs!

 

[dullard]

We all have stupid pet peeves. So, all married people have to deal with their spouses silly complaints. My question, is if this is a big enough deal that you post about it, why not fix the problem?

Possible solutions:
1) Get two sticks of butter. One crumb filled stick for you, one crumb free for her. Is your home/budget that small that you can't fit in another stick of butter?

2) Just take the total amount of butter you need the first time - there is no need to ever double dip. With a little intelligence and practice, you'll get it right. Heck, if you can't do that, just take 10% more than you need and let it go to waste on your plate. You waste, what, half a penny of butter. Half a penny is worth never hearing her nag.

3) Take two knives and use them both. A knife is simple and quick to clean. Toss it in the dish washer and you'll never notice the difference. Or if you clean by hand, you know it'll only take 10 seconds to do one more item. 10 seconds is worth never hearing her nag.

Basically, how much do you care about her? Do you care enough to change this very minor detail in your life? You'll be amazed at her response when she realizes there are no more crumbs. Here is a hint: what major thing have you've always wanted her to do but she has always refused? You just did something that she always wanted, she'll return the favor. Hopefully, in the sack.

You know, you could just have jelly on your toast instead.

Or butter your bread, and THEN toast it.

 

[MotionMan]

Mention? Yes. Complain? No.

she shouldn't, she's the one that butters my toast.

I am the one that butters her muffin.

 

[KeithTalent]

I voted no because I never leave crumbs (kind of grosses me out).

I think I may perform an experiment though to see her reaction and post back here with the results.

The above post taken from a thread on "how can I persuade my girlfriend to try buttsex?".

My wife never has... anyway... she'd be as guilty as I in regard ro crumbs in the butter container.

Now her father will throw out an entire container of butter if it gets "contaminated" by the breadcrumbs.... he's about half nuts though anyway.

 

[djheater]

I'm a slob, but my wife is way worse, so if anyone was going to complain about it, it would be me.

No, but I do.

ditto, but I don't really care much. I'll just use more butter to clean out the crumbs

 

[dquan97]

Never came up. But then again, I never use butter.

 

[Aikouka]

I can't believe it's not butter :Q! Well I can, it's pretty crumby butter if you ask me .

Eh I don't have an SO at the moment to compare that to nor do I leave crumbs in the butter anyway. Would it bother me? Most likely not unless it got on other food and "ruined" the food ( not really ruined as in having to throw out... but crumbs on pasta ).

 

[cthulhu]

No, because she's the one that leaves them.

Has your wife ever complained about bread crumbs in the butter/margarine container.....if you know what i mean?

fixed

 

[JoeyM]

My wife has lots of better things to complain about than crumbs in the butter. If she did complain, I would just blame it on the kids. Even if it bothered her, she knows me well enough not to complain about it. It's far to trivial a matter for me to give it a moments attention.
Just open another butter for G-ds sake!
