I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.
You underestimate some of us
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.
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.
Yeah just like Twix.
does the left chopstick also taste better?
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.
Knife should be on the left and the spoons on the right. Fite me.
You think I'm worried about fighting someone that has to reach over the gentry silverware to grab the knife?
This is a valid argument and I'd hoped nobody would mention it. 😡
Fork, knife, spoon, teaspoon
Well in fancy restaurants, which should be the example we all follow because of how much better than us they are, the knife is always pointed in towards the plate and closest to the plate. This reduces odds of getting cut accidentally. Otherwise the silverware should be arranged from the outside to the inside in order that they're meant to be used for each course because trying to truck your guests is a signal that you want to embarrass them with knowledge they aren't generally expected to actually have. Spoons and forks should be grouped.
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.
See, if I had that guys place you would find these 4 utensils in the sink because I'm a monster
He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.
OP is a fancy one with their actual silverware. When i was a bachelor, it was box of plastic forks, box of plastic spoons, and box of plastic knives.
Saving up for singular silverware would probably save you money in the long run
I usually get them from take out places or the cafeteria. Never bought any single use items during my bachelor years.
And less microplastics
you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft
Did they borrow these from a restaurant. I just find it more menacing to just buy 1 of each, searched online and I can’t find a single reasonably priced utensil set that only sells 1 of each in the set.
2 words: Thrift. Shop.
I have 4 of each just in case I don't feel like doing the dishes today
lol two spoons and a fork, what a waste. i only use one spoon for everything.
edit: ooh i get it now, they have a significant other who sometimes visits. (big spoon, small spoon)
Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I'm not fuckin around.
Replace the fork and spoon with a spork.
Fewer utensils to clean!
You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
This is me. It's perfectly fine until something, somehow, goes missing.
No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?
They live alone, why have a pie server if you are just gonna eat it yourself?
It's all he needs
Dude clearly not a big fan of steak.
Maybe it's in their knife block.
That's more than enough. I've survived for long with just a knife and a fork. A good knife works as a second fork.
premature optimisation
He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can't find some else and feels the urge to kill again.
Been there done that
Is your friend Bill Dauterive?
I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!
I did this once, it was bliss.
