Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.

I don’t know what this is but it’s certainly not in keeping with the lord’s way.

What the actual fuck!? The knives always go on the outside, far left or far right.

Personally, I prefer dessert spoon, fork, knife, then tea spoon.

Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles

Me too, the shape is just so perfect for so many things. I bought some recently at the Vietnamese market nearby. They have fancy little roses surrounded by a filigree pattern printed on them and say “English” on the handle in some Victorian-looking cursive font lmao. I love them.

Yes, but their orientation is none of your business.

Finnish mnemonic: Haaveilu. Haarukka=fork, veitsi=knife, lusikka=spoon.

Haaveilu=daydreaming, reverie

We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

He’s 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?

Dude I’m 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it’s up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.

Yeah, I can understand that. That’s normal. But a 19 year old eating alone in their room so much, and collecting all of the dishes in the household, so the family has none and has to actively seek them out and ask for them is what’s odd to me.

That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!

What, you never have yogurt or tea with your morning oatmeal? Or are you a heathen that uses the same spoon for both?

I would probably get rid of everything but the fork and try to disprove that old you can’t eat soup with a fork joke.

The large one is for scooping ice cream into the bowl. The little one is for eating it.

He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.

Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.

In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic

In hindsight I should have used “or” instead of “and”.

But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.

If you live alone, though, I’d advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.
