I feel the same way about pepper. They cram so much of it into the shaker that it's not free to move around, making it impossible to shake a decent amount onto your food without looking like a horny lib teenager behind the curtains.
Many are the times that I've just unscrewed the cap to shake out a righteous amount of pepper.
Hubby is a pepperholic. Regardless of where we are the top of the shaker comes off so he can pepper his food.
My wife does that all the time with scrambled eggs, she literally covers them. Not that she loves pepper so much, she says she doesn't like to look at the eggs.
She did it in a restaurant once and a waitress noticed her eggs as she was passing by and said, "Oh, my goodness, did someone leave the pepper lid loose for you"? and offered to bring her some more eggs.
Pepper has no business being in a shaker, at least for anything remotely resembling real food. Fresh peppercorns in a grinder is the only way to fly. You lose too much aromatic goodness with pre-ground pepper.
