Registered 15 years agoJust put it in a tuppereware container. People won't see it or will think that it's got your lunch it in.
Failing that, get some pubes involved. -

This can only have a positive outcome. -

Tell folk they can help themselves, spend £8 more a year on butter, and leave all this stress behind.
Thing is I have no problem paying for the butter, the bit that pisses me off is that they always uses that last of the butter, leaving me none for my breakfast which means I am starving till 2pm which is about the time I get my Lunch. That's why I bought the big tub of stuff. (though it was a big tub of crap stuff with my butter behind it so they ate my nice stuff instead)

I have same problem at work. Annoying to say the least. I even tried buying a big tub and wrote for all staff on It and the buggers bypassed it and still stole my nice butter!
Off with their head!
That would drive me batshit insane. It really would. -

Keep this on your desk and put your butter in it. For extra cool points get a Simpsons one like mine.
This approach also has the added benefit of you not having to get up to make your sandwiches.
Since this method has been EG approved, I just may, may buy that for myself. -

Registered 17 years agoThe pubes is a good idea.
Buy 2 tubs. Scrape off about a centimeter of butter from the first.
Now carefully take the aluminum foil bit off the second tub, place it in the first tub and put more butter on top, leaving the lip sticking up in a corner.
Now stick your hand down your pants and yank out a good handful of pubes & put them on top.
The butter thief will pass up on your new and improved butter offering. You can use the little lip sticking up in a corner to raise the top layer and get to the clean buttery goodness underneath.
Bit of a faff but hey ... you want your butter to yourself .. you have to put some effort in. -

Right, in which case you definitely needto change your approach. Tell people that they can share but not to finish it off. That's reasonable.
If they do finish it off implement one of the more aggressive suggestions above. Personally I favour face stabbing, but I would caveat that by saying that that is my answer to everything.
Equally, since people know I am partial to a nice face stabbing, they tend not to fuck with my spreads and condiments. -

What about the age-old practice of storing sticks of butter unrefrigerated but submerged in a bowl of water, to prevent oxidation and keep airborne buggers at bay? Does anyone still do that? I've heard it works quite well. -

DEFRA says that the reason eggs are sold unrefrigerated is that EU regulations specify that their temperature should remain fairly constant up to the point of sale, as major fluctuations hot-cold fluctuations tend to cause condensation inside the egg, which can produce mould and egg spoilage. However, they do recommend recommend that consumers refrigerate them at home.
Interesting.
