Peanut butter is sticky. I’ve seen what people do with gum. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ban it in places.
Peanut butter is banned in the office
Most schools have even backed off on trying to do this. For children. Why are adults prevented from eating what they want? No one should be touching othe people’s foods.

If you’re worried about an adult making a peanut butter mess, that motherfucker should not have a job.

It happens. It’s why we all clean our kitchen everyday. Peanut allergies rose a lot in the past few decades. It’s not like they just get hives. It’s not a hard thing to give up at work or school considering it could kill them. Like in my office we don’t even have assigned desks. I see people leaving crumbs all the time. Imagine them munching away on a bag of peanuts. They’re leaving that dust and crap all over the place. It’s such a small consideration that makes a huge QOL improvement for others. It doesn’t bother me at all.

If it’s a shared space, leave it how you found it.
Restricting what people eat is getting rid of a symptom, not the problem.

It’s my understanding that some people have such an allergic reaction that even the smell fucks them up. It may sound silly, but compassion is in short supply these days, and subsequently should be lauded when seen in the wild.
