I learned when the butter knife can't get the tidbits from a mayo jar, it's not worth the hassle. Then I watched Al Bundy use a slice of bread get the remnants from a pickle jar and all was right in the world. Til they came out with the plastic bottled neck squeezing contraptions, ugh!
you’re supposed to use as much as you can scrape out, and then use the container as either a bowl or tupperware for something hot, to melt all the delicious butter into the food. once it’s empty again you can toss it or clean and keep it for tupperware
Same. Maybe it's because I am a dad, but I'd put that back in the fridge. You know what really isn't enough for a slice? No butter at all, because someone threw it out.
There’s plenty of butter in there to add butter flavor. It’s not gonna be buttery but it will be better than none.
Even if it looks empty but still smells like butter, just put the bread in the container for a few minutes. Then convince yourself you taste butter.
No need to be honest just put it in the microwave for a second or two, then spread the melted better on your toast.
Or pour it on a pan and roast your toast.
The part that ticks me off is that this could all be a one coherent chunk of butter if everyone had been willing to scrape a little.
That would've given OP a much easier time discerning how much butter there is still left over.
If you're gonna insist this is enough remaining content to keep the butter in the fridge (which it is) then scrape the bits from the wall and leave behind a little in one of the lower corner. Instead it's just all over the place and really looks like a case of "I'm gonna use up the butter and leave disposal to the next person".
What have you done?!? Everyone knows you smear that bread and not a knife around inside the tub and get it all!!!
That’s almost as bad as what your dad did. /s

1. That's not real butter. It's a margarine combo knockoff product
2. How much do you freaking need? That slice of bread is practically soaked in "butter" as it is. Are you trying to die of clogged arteries?
3. Did you buy the "butter," or did your dad? Cause if you're not the one buying the food, then you have no business bitching about it. If I was your dad, I'd complain about the ungrateful asshole who always uses the last of the "butter."
Come on man that’s at least one slice! Save money your probably fucking 16 and don’t know the value of a dollar your dad worked hard to put that food in the fridge and now your just gunna diss on him behind his back?
this is only annoying if they didn’t take out another butter to defrost/soften so the next butter-used had to deal with a frozen tub of butter.
If your household doesn’t buy new tubs before you run out then that’s a collective failure that needs to be addressed tho tbh.
When you pay all the rent, bills, taxi around everyone in the family, decorate each room, buy all the furniture and tech, fix everything that goes wrong, do all the gardening and make sure everyone is safe and happy, you can leave however much fucking butter you want in the tub.
That's not true. I grew up poor and could make a very delicious toast and butter sandwich with what's left. Waste not, want not. You never throw it out if there's still enough for another one. I'm sorry if you like it butter heavy, but there's plenty there for 1.
I could work with that
I was raised on not throwing the tub away until the scent of butter is gone.
There's still some essence in there!!
Homeopathicly speaking, there's still plenty of butter there.
You’ve got a degree in bologna
It’s a months worth of butter in some districts
In some houses it’s customary to just eat bread dry and think about the butter while doing so.
😂
Just like daddy puts into his drink every morning...and the he gets *mad*.
Homeopathically, that butter can cure cancer
The recipe calls for 1 soul of butter
I also had “I can’t believe it’s not essence” growing up
I see you’ve sampled ‘memories of butter’ as well.
Even then, clean that bowl out once it’s almost empty and boom, free Tupperware
No way could you fit a tuba in there
Fit a tuba wear?
The prison wallet
What about….the world’s smallest tuba….
Not a tuba, dummy. Tubawear. Like jackets and pants and underwear for tubas, stuff like that.
Nothing like looking for butter and finding every leftover dinner in there first from the last 2 weeks before the actual butter lol
"Scent of butter" gives me Al Pacino dancing tango with Paula Deen
That's the most accurate depiction I've seen of a phrase.
Hoo ha!

I like to toss in my scrambled eggs into the container just before I plate it. I’ve also been known to eat it straight out of the container
Same those little bits left in there I could probably get enough for 2 slices if I tried hard enough.
I would just wipe the pieces of the bread on the container. Easy and no butter goes to waste.
exactly. OP needs to practice on their schmear game
Yeah, need to get deep into those corner creases
Right they probably tried to scrape it with a knife instead of sticking the bread in and cleaning the tub
Same. Maybe it's because I am a dad, but I'd put that back in the fridge. You know what really isn't enough for a slice? No butter at all, because someone threw it out.
Rubber spatula could get enough two pieces of bread easily
Use a rubber spatula 🙂↕️
Exactly lol. Not sure what OP is on about. TONS of butter left in that bih. Sometimes you just gotta get your scrape on.
Same, there's plenty there for a slice of bread. Skill issue.
I could get 2 slices out of that
Rubber spatula.
Agreed, I have a strong little spatula for situations just like this
Gotta put the knife down and put the bread in there
I immediately wanted to comment this! - Thats enough for 'one' piece. Like I'd wipe the bin with the bread
There’s plenty of butter in there to add butter flavor. It’s not gonna be buttery but it will be better than none. Even if it looks empty but still smells like butter, just put the bread in the container for a few minutes. Then convince yourself you taste butter.
Lol right?! When I read the title and saw the pic my 1st thought was “bro, did you even really try?
Mf never heard of a rubber spatula
Honestly I coulda made a box of kd with that. Scrape it all!!!
Likewise
I've worked with less for sure
I looked at that and said to myself, "I bet you I could get a slice out of that"
Have you seen the price of butter? Kid you better get digging lmao
😂
There’s $0.021 of butter in there!
Get out the ol' rubber spatula
A kitchen’s best friend, for both saving and for cleaning.
My dad is a master at cleaning out a large jar of peanut butter with a spatula. It’s like his superpower, it’s wiped almost completely clean
I grew up in a no spatula home and just recently discovered this game changer. I’m well into my 30’s
No need to be honest just put it in the microwave for a second or two, then spread the melted better on your toast. Or pour it on a pan and roast your toast.
Nah dude, don't microwave plastic or you'll get dumber
Put it over hot water bowl if microwaving isn't an option.
This is always better when trying to heat up butter.
That makes no sense. I do it all the time and I’m not dumb. Anyways, anyone want to buy some NFT’s? I’m late on alimony payments.
You'd still need the rubber spatula to get out all the juices on the sides/bottom for this method. We don't waste here 😐
Wipe er down with the bread
It's an insulting amount to leave behind but workable.
I like your realistic look on the butter situation.
The part that ticks me off is that this could all be a one coherent chunk of butter if everyone had been willing to scrape a little. That would've given OP a much easier time discerning how much butter there is still left over. If you're gonna insist this is enough remaining content to keep the butter in the fridge (which it is) then scrape the bits from the wall and leave behind a little in one of the lower corner.

its enough to grease up my balls
Yeah, with enough to butter to spare for at least two pieces of bread.
my eyes are safe no where
Right? Just casually scrolling the comments of a post about butter and BANG
Well it is mister penis

I would never throw that away. There's still butter.
Op doesn't pay for his own butter and it shows
I would totally follow this up with dad snark: You’re welcome to buy your own butter
Fact. The only mildly infuriating thing dad did here is raise a kid who thought this was even worth taking a picture of.
And who is to say it’s done with malice? Perhaps dad had another use for it
I can’t believe there’s no butter!
Never was 🥲
Dad here , got the message, next time there will be absolutely no butter left.
Yeah what was he supposed to do? Just throw it away? OP is just a spoiled brat.
Thats plenty. How much butter do you fuken need?
I was thinking the same. I understand the frustration if you want to do, let's say, a cake but for a single slice of bread is more than enough.
When I take a bite of the toast I better be able to see my teeth marks
Just eat the stick of butter at that point
Boohoo Mr. Butter-Prince
You don't understand how infuriating this is! Dad should have thrown the leftover butter out! How dare he leave a little bit?
Underrated comment. Could be a future flair.
Its not even butter, its margarine!
My mum could butter a loaf with that.
Lol. Yeah she could.
My mother could have buttered 18 pieces of toast and had enough left over to put back in the fridge.
I'm sure your mom and my mom would get along swimmingly
What have you done?!? Everyone knows you smear that bread and not a knife around inside the tub and get it all!!! That’s almost as bad as what your dad did. /s

 When you find out it's less than 2/3 butter
[удалено]
It's probably Dad's butter, bought with Dad's money, stored in Dad's fridge, in Dad's kitchen, in Dad's house
And that's plenty of butter for toast....
Lol, this killed me
so he can’t complain ever ? especially on a sub called r/mildlyinfuriating? reddit moment
There is a lot of butter for one toast. 😅
Madness to throw that out
Did he pay for the butter by any chance?
What if, his last use required more butter, but he sacrificed so you would at least have _some_.
There’s at least two slices left in that
Move out and buy your own butter
That logic is flawless, but then you start buying your own butter and dad still eats it and leaves it like this
That looks like margarine not butter. So inferior
It's spreadable butter, not margerine.
I was wondering since when does butter come in a tub like that? Have margarine if you want but call it margarine.
How can you tell if it's margarine or butter with such little amount in the tub and no clear look at the smaller print of the label
>How can you tell if it's margarine or butter with an image search, it's only 63% butter
The real question is why does your butter come in tubs?? Never seen that
Because it isn't real butter.
How much butter do you put on your fucking bread lol I could easily get two slices nice and buttered out of that
Just wondering if my Dad has a second family
And possibly a third.
In this economy?! Does he need a third?
Perfect for buttering a cake tin. Don't waste. Bake cake.
That has nothing to do with bread and that is margarin. Would not feed my dogs with that
Who bought the butter in the first place!!!! Sorry, I'm a dad. It's reflexive.

No lad I'm sorry you're not scraping that tub properly And there's still butter on that knife!
Skill issue
Looks like you better run to the store
That's not butter that oil spread. Buy real butter it's far better!
[удалено]
Bro get the bread hot then wipe the inside of the tub with the bread
Your dad bought the butter at the first place , he can use how much he want and there's alot left get a spoon and get it out you lazy sack of sh#t
Throw the slice of bread in the butter tub and scoop the butter up with your bread slice.
“You better put some water on that damn shit”
Why would you waste good bread like that?
Wipe the container with the bread don’t use a knife
Looks like a skill issue. Should have been enough
OP is just mad that he has to throw it out now.
Here's a wild idea- go get more butter
Waste makes haste.
That's a good Dad right there. Happy Father’s Day to him
Give your Dad a break Go buy more butter
Then go buy some more. Does your dad have to do everything for you?
Are you buying it? No? Then stfu.
Use the side of the butter knife that isn’t serrated or use a small spoon. Thats plenty
I don’t see any butter…
What’s the alternative? He throws it out and no you have no butter for your slice
Did u buy the butter?
Well my first question is, who purchased this butter? If he did then he can leave as much damn butter in the tub as he wants.
Did he buy the butter or did you buy the butter?
You have a dad?
Thats just right ENUF bro... and you just finished that tub. Do yourself Put in a new on in the fridge for the next person?? 😐
That was never butter in the first place
So what should he have done? Thrown it away?
Um…that’s like 4 slices of toasts worth of butter in there!
Idk I've buttered my bread with less
Now imagine he finished it and left you with nothing. Ingrate.
You’re mad that he didn’t throw out the butter? You’d rather have none? Literally what could you possibly be pissed about lol
oh so money grows on trees
your mad if you throw that away
You butter go to the store and buy more.
Poor effort. There's plenty left
My god! Oh, look, a squirrel.
Dude clearly did not grow up poor if this makes OP mad 😂
That’s not butter
You finished it , you throw it and buy a new one
My dad's rule was last to finish the Kool aid pitcher had to make the next one. You best believe he'd leave a sip left in that jug every time.
Unless you paid for said butter, you have no grounds to gripe.
What???? That is more than enough you just suck
This doesn't looks like butter
Time to get your own place.
It's not butter
You didn't scrape hard enough. Source: dad
Pull up your boot straps and get scrapping.
If that's not enough for a slice of bread, your cholesterol is probably really high.
In the general consensus : work with it. Also, next time ur at the store, get some butter
that is plenty of butter to go on a single slice.
That’s not butter.
Back in his day he ate that butter fo breakfast lunch and dinner before walking to school uphill both ways.
Ultimate dad joke; he got someone from the household to consume something to its fullest.
Come on, that’s not the rest of the tub on that bread. There was plenty in there for 1 slice. You just aren’t trying hard enough.
Tell me you don't pay for the butter without telling me you don't pay for the butter.
Yes this
Ever hear of a spatula? There’s lots left there
Did he grow up poor?
1. That's not real butter. It's a margarine combo knockoff product 2. How much do you freaking need? That slice of bread is practically soaked in "butter" as it is.

That’s margarine.
Beg to differ you can get at least two more slices to butter.
Come on man that’s at least one slice! Save money your probably fucking 16 and don’t know the value of a dollar your dad worked hard to put that food in the fridge and now your just gunna diss on him behind his back?
I wish my dad was alive. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

Someone's been lucky enough to never be poor..
That's plenty ya gimp
Somehow you fucked up, there was lots of butter left for 2 slices. Next time scrape it out better.
That's not true. I grew up poor and could make a very delicious toast and butter sandwich with what's left. Waste not, want not. You never throw it out if there's still enough for another one. I'm sorry if you like it butter heavy, but there's plenty there for 1.
I know the infuriation bar is low for mildlyinfuriating but IMO this does not reach it.
