According to FDA spokesperson Tamara Ward, butter will last up to 10 days at room temperature before turning rancid. Rancid means that enzymes that are naturally present in milk begin to digest the fats in the butter, causing a sour flavor and aroma.

Salted butter doesn't spoil (easily) unsalted does. I leave my butter out as well because the salt preserves it

Keep it in the fridge, take out what you need an hour or so before you need it. Now you not only have butter that will store properly and be soft when needed, but you can control the amount of salt in your cooking more precisely.

That would go good with a matching gravy boat.
I'm kind of annoyed that the "temperature of butter" conversation is not met with the same level of angst as my "temperature of hummus" discussion. >:|

I don't think i've found store bought hummus that I prefer to my own. At least that's cheaper than the ingredients that I need to get to make it at home. ($1 cans of garbanzo beans and a lemon).

The issue for me is getting good fresh pita bread. I don't really like hummus with anything but pita bread.

How much butter do you use that it affects your daily salt intake?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I know most chefs prefer unsalted butter because it allows them to control the exact amount of salt in a dish. I can't really think of a time that a dish ended up too salty because I used salted butter though... And I would never use unsalted on bread.
Only time I really use unsalted is if baking requires it, really.

Any amount of salt you ingest affects your salt intake, but that's not why I made the comment. The role of salt in cooking is multi-layered, and use of too much of it in ingredients (as opposed to being added as a seasoning by itself) makes keeping the balance and interplay of flavors harder.

I wonder if they use salted butter on the McRibb.
