You know, I don’t care that much if someone carefully takes the bread with their hands if they do so without touching other pieces. So taking it out of the toaster no.
My point was that using the jam spoon to spread it into toast (or warm bread as AC toasters are so slow) is bad at best for people who don’t want crumbs in it. To do it after handling the bread... well it’s not helping matters.
I use tongs to pick my bread, I used my hands to put it into and out of toaster. I used jam spoon to put a bit on the plate and then a metal knife from 2’ of the toasters to spread it. Because I’m civilized. Well sort of
More so than some evidently!

I certainly learn a lot from this thread. I had no idea that I was such a repulsive human being.
I promise to continue working on my faults though.

But there are also a few things I simply don't agree with, will continue to do, and do not care if others do it.
"Repulsive" seems to very much be in the eyes of the beholder.

Anybody who watches someone handle their toast from start to finish, and then takes out time to report on it here on FT, is in serious need for a life.

Also, thanks for letting me know. I promise to try and not report on people handling their toast but move on to much more productive things like pancake seats, missing Kit Kats, clipping toenails while flying, disappointing meals and people who wear perfume like a piece of clothing.
And I traded in my life for living above the clouds. Works perfectly for me. It's stuff on the ground that keeps me up at night. LOL

printing on steroids
My pet peeve is FTs who print books in the biz centre. This is a particular issue in YYZ i.e. the larger the area, the more likely FTs will print everything. In an era when hotels put reasonable limits on the volume of printing, MLLs seem to have missed the memo?
Often, the books they print are abandoned i.e. the FT left the MLL & did not retrieve their stuff??

I once printed a lot in an MLL, for work, but even then, I think it was under 50 pages.
I don't see much of an issue if it gets used, but if you leave 50 pages in the printer, then what was the point?

I won't say this was annoying passenger, or even a pet peeve, but I found her behaviour unusual.
Woman sitting across from me grabs a cookie from the food area and brings it back to her seat (one of the large leather type easy chairs). No napkin, no plate...then she just plunks the entire cookie on the side of the armchair---you know where people have been resting their grubby hands for years and years..
Then eats said cookie, redepositing it several times on the arm rest before finishing it off.
I suppose it's acceptable to do that in your own house, but in a public area? Who knows what has been resting or sitting on that armrest.

Might actually not be a bad idea healthwise... Better do that when you are healthy and fit. Rather than get hit later in life when weak and old... Just like, kids who were let play with dirt and stuff apparently develop quite a bit fewer allergis than kids who grow in a sterile environment...

Probably good training in order to get resistance to a variety of bacteria.
