I’ve got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can’t pile up if they don’t exist.

You underestimate yourself. You’ll get this.

I have a giant stack of plates. So they can go into the dish washer after I use them. Same thing with boxer shorts and the laundry.

I was given so much stuff when I bought my house. My one aunt had a shopping addiction and just gave me all of the kitchen shit. I live alon and my house is too small and laid out too weird for me to comfortably have guests. Idk what to do with everything, so it just stays in a cabinet. I don’t want to throw it out because it’s nice, but I have no use for it

If you can’t sell it you might be able to donate it to a thrift store.

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.

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

Do chopsticks have an orientation?

Yes, but their orientation is none of your business.

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.

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

Haaveilu=daydreaming, reverie

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

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

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.

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

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.

I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can’t have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.

This is the way. Friends think I really like this one bowl. Truth is I like an empty sink, so I force myself to wash it by only owning one bowl.

I just recently got rid of 90% of my silverware and over half my plates and bowls for this very reason

Just don’t leave them in the sink and you can do the same with multiple of each, saving you the wash up. Just out them straight into the dishwasher. Saves energy, water and time.

Been travelling in an RV for a while now. Family of 3. Have 3 forks, 2 knives (because adults cut the kid’s food) and 4 plates since you need somewhere to put food off the BBQ that isn’t someone’s plate. It’s glorious. So easy to clean up.
