What pisses me off? People who don’t use a spoon to get jam out of the jar and other such simple courtesies.
I get so pissed off when visitors come for a meal and show that they have no manners.
Take getting jam out of the jar for instance.
So many people just dip their knife into the jar, even though I always put a spoon next to it.
Once a person’s knife has been dipped into the jam jar, it usually leaves globs of butter in the jar. I find that quite disgusting.
Sometimes the person even licks their knife before putting it in the jar, how gross is that?
Over the years I have lost count of the numbers of jars of jam I have had to throw out. There is nothing worse than a jar of jam with huge chunks of butter mixed into it.
The thought of the butter – and maybe even saliva from the licked knife – is almost too much to bear.
One look is enough to make me physically ill. When I was a kid, my dad would insist on jam being put into a cute little dish on the table, and a jam spoon placed beside it. I thought he was a bit strange, but now I have seen what happens if this is not done.
So, Dad, you were not as strange as I thought…in fact, from now on I am going to do that same.
