Laughed, then saw the community… uh oh
my forks are okay but ive got some dodgy spoons
I’ve got some great spoons, but there’s that one spoon that just sucks.
oh yeah there totally are good spoons and bad spoons
For the longest time I had a spoon which literally had sharp edges. I don’t know why I didn’t throw it away. No idea where it is now.
Chaotic neutral.
All of mine are literally the same as each other lol.
yeah, mine too. if i lose one, im either going to have to throw one of each the other utensils away to keep them even, or get a whole new set.
Lol I’m not quite that extreme but I get it

Throw it out?
Nah, it’s not with the others.
Mine is a spoon that is different from all the other… and it is specifically for cat food.
Mine are a whole category of forks and spoons. I want my forks and spoons to have a completely flat underside with rounded corners. The underside should not be concave because it makes the edges of the fork or spoon too sharp and dig into my finger bones too much. A convex underside puts too much weight onto the center of the surface making it uncomfortable for my middle finger then as well. Oh, and they have to be completely smooth with no texture because I don’t like rough textures rubbing against my fingers while I eat.
It fucking sucks I don’t even know why I just hate it with a passion
Obviously the only sane option here is to keep it in your pocket when you visit a friend, and sneak it into their silverware drawer when they go to the toilet
Wow, I have some friends this would drive literally insane. I’ll have to consider this carefully.
It’s a gift
When I was in undergrad, living in dorm… We used to throw forks at the bulletin board for fun, trying to make them stick. I recommend this as the ultimate fate for your unruly fork.
Got a butter knife that looks the same but weighs nothing. Drives me nuts.
My favorite spoon is made of really low quality aluminum and weighs nothing!
Trivia. Aluminum was once the most expensive, and thus prestigious metals on the planet. The king of France would dine with aluminum cutlery as a show of opulence.
You (everyone) will hate this entire comment, but my aforementioned favorite aluminum spoon comes from a Czech army surplus cutlery set. I hate the other utensils, but just think how fucking amazing it is that this is a set which belongs together:
Why is the spoon so ornamental and aluminum? Why is the knife steel with a plain plastic handle? Why is the fork so fucking weird (aluminum too, btw)? This is a set for soldiers. Fancy is good and all but why is it so mismatched? So many questions.
This specific picture isn’t mine by the way. I’d never allow a fork that horribly misshapen to live in my house.
Those tines look like they’d be super stabby, no thanks!
we had an aluminum teaspoon once, don’t know where it went but it’s on the top 10 of my favourite objects.
weighed almost literally nothing and always catched me off guard. i love it.
Damn you guys are making me doubt my sanity way too much with these posts…
I explicitly purchased identical cutlery and gave away all my old mismatched cutlery.
Yes, one of my most adult-feeling purchases was a full cutlery set for 12, and basically a cabinet full of different types of plates and bowls, all in sets for 8 ppl, from the same design series. I love this stuff way more than I ever imagined.
How many times did you use it though?
Quite a lot by now. I cook for 3-5 friends semi regularly.
I also only use rounded handles. For some reason flat ones drive my crazy! 😅
I tried to buy another identical set of cutlery because we needed more and the two version while looking identical on the package and being from the same maker are dramatically different in reality and it makes me crazy.
Yes I did the same, bought a whole set of a big brand so I could easily get replacements and additions if needed. Some time later I decided I needed more spoons so I bought another set of 10 spoons of the exact same brand and set name. Turns out the spoons are slightly different in the handle, bugs the hell out of me.
Mine are two very different steak knives. One’s got a plastic handle and really fine serration on the blade and it is terrible at cutting steak. The other is effectively a fucking hacksaw with a wooden handle bolted around the tang and it is a horror to behold. They’re for when we need a knife and don’t want to involve the good cutlery.
Please share a photo of this hacksaw knife
Mine is a butter knife. I had a poor quality and overpriced meal at a restaurant and stole it in revenge. When I got home and started using it I realised that every single thing about that restaurant would always be atrocious and nothing would ever make it OK to eat there.
That’s bizarrely specific yet accurate. For me it’s a spoon, but only because I somehow lost every single fork I own and had to buy a new, matching set.
I’ve kind of made it my mission to buy orphaned utensils that I like, so my drawer is full of mismatched stuff. I have stuff that matches too, of course.
Always good to have a strategy.
It leads to chaos but it’s at least chaos with a purpose.
