You don't use your own piece. You use one slice, the corn butter bread slice, and then you fight your siblings for it when all the corn is buttered.
How do you not know this? Who raised you?!
But then everyone can't butter their corn at the same time.
Yes, and if the bread gets passed from one person to the next, I guess you all have to hope everyone washed their hands diligently before dinner.

Isn’t it weird how we all think our family’s idiosyncracies are completely normal

The butter is not there to add sweetness though, but salt and creaminess.
Outside of this thread, I have never seen or heard of anyone buttering bread to butter the corn. It seems inefficient and wasteful, unless the bread gets eaten as well?
I don’t think corn on the cob needs any creaminess, and slathering with butter just makes it greasy, not creamy. And yes, we would eat the bread. It’s a frugality thing. We had 8-12 people at the dinner table and weren’t about to use up multiple sticks of butter for corn.
Errr... What? How did buttering bread save on butter? Let me guess, you rebutter your corn after every bite?

We just cut a stick of butter in half, peel some of the wrapper away, and use that. If we want to be fancy, we put a chunk of butter in one of those butter press things that are made for spreading butter on corn. But the first one works better.

Roll the ear of corn, pass it on for the next person. Use the stick of butter up. Don’t use it for other things!
One person commented it was gross having kernels of corn and silk laying on top of the butter. Why are you eating corn that has been cooked and still has silk on it or why are the kernels falling out?
I remember when my DH flirted with me like this. Lead to one of the best nights ever.

At home but not at someone else's house unless everyone else was doing it.

Of course (at home). When we have parties, we have a little pot of melted butter and a brush.
