I hate it when…

People clean off the knife they used to put peanut butter on their toast on the inside edge of the peanut butter jar.

Why would someone want to mix crumbs with virgin peanut butter ?

Is the value of 0.001 grams of peanut butter worth saving? Just lick the knife off and put it in the dishwasher.

As long as it is their own jar of PB, I think it is ok (I do that too).

I grew up poor and do not like to waste things, and I will always use those "edged" PB before digging into the main pile.

Seriously, if you can't stand it, why not get another jar of your own so you don't have to deal with it?

Strangers wiping knives in your kitchen can indeed be scary. Who are these people?

My kids get crumbs in the butter. I call it "roughage".

My kids get butter in the jam, I call it "lubrication".

I'm a bit anal.

I worked in the food industry for 20 years.

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, worked in a Bio Lab before designing food process equipment. When it comes to contaminating/infecting your base stock, I just don't see why folks don't take the most basic procedures to avoid problems.

Happy Holidays, and don’t thaw that turkey more than it needs.

This has been a public service announcement.

It bugs me also. Especially when a refrigerated food contaminates a non refrigerated food. Gross.

Like satterfi said, just lick the knife and put it back in the drawer.

Ewww, at least wash it first.

Have finally convinced the better half..."use it, put it in the sink"

"but then you have to wash it".

"It's only a knife, not a BBQ"

....oops

Topic title seems to leave open other "I hate it when"s, so:

I hate it when someone mixes all the spaghetti noodles and sauce together rather than properly adding the sauce at the last minute. It ruins the spaghetti because the noodles absorb moisture form teh sauce and get too soft. Also prevents sauce hogs like me from getting extra sauce.

you bring skirt steak to a cookout and they only serve burgers and keep it (the steak)

Basturds,

My wife would still be doing damage control if that happened to me.
