If you have a salt shaker on the table i don't see how you have any
right to whine about the other persons using the salt you placed on the
table.

People have to ask for it at my house, though i do keep a pepper grinder
in plain sight i hardly use salt at all so i don't keep a salt shaker
around.

Though i do have a box of salt in a cupboard. About the only thing i
use it in are mashed potatoes, beans and the occasional dish of hot
buttered popcorn.

I rarely make a whole steak any more but if i do i will s & p the steak
before cooking it.

However i do much the same thing you complain about with pepper. I once
ran out and by the 3rd day without pepper i was actually going through
withdrawals, and craving pepper.

Now don't get me started on catsup and the elderly relatives use of it
on everything
