    I don’t know why this is posted as a shitpost. This is just life wisdom. There is a single fork in my drawer that I refuse to use, it’s basically like a salad fork, but it’s not quiet big enough to be one, but it’s too large to be used as a normal fork. I. Hate. That. Fork.

    I have one fork with extra long tines. Dunno where it came from. But every time I grab it, I’m like “Yo, long boi! Youre not going to stab me this time are you?”

    And the long fork does not assure me that its not going to stab me this time, because it does not like to lie.

    Nope. We got a 12 seating set for our wedding and donated everything else. We’ve replaced lost/damaged pieces with same ever since, so we have an entirely matching set.

    Its not just a fork.

    I also have a spoon, a butter knife, and a steak knife, that I all hate for no reason, that I actively put back if I accidentally grab them to get something else.

    I hate them so much that I will just skip eating if thats all in the drawer and I dont feel like doing dishes.

    Sharp corners and edges, low quality stamping, hard to clean between the prongs and crevices. These are thr things thay make me throw out forks and spoons.

    We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.

    The good fork is thick and has fancy engravings. It came with the random shit in the house.

    The bad fork has a scrape on the prong. You sometimes feel it’s shameful failings across your tung. It makes the plastic disposables feel fancy.

    At age 35 you should be considering throwing out (well, donating) the misc silverware for a matching set, I think. This was more of an issue in my 20s when my silverware was all mismatching.

      For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.

      It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I’ve had a complete set of matching silverware since.

      …except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I’ve held onto for over 40 years that doesn’t match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.

        Yeah, it’s funny, I’ve replaced almost all of my silverware but I still have a couple of spoons that are from the set my parents had when I was growing up. It’s an oddly nostalgic thing.

    I love how almost everyone in this thread seems to not have a cutlery set. Including me! I can’t be bothered with that shit, there’s better uses for my time and money.

    I love you hated fork

      I just checked Ikea’s website and they have cutlery sets on clearance for <$2. Theres plenty at various price points, and only the most expensive get over $20.

      I understand different people are in different situations. There have been times in my life when $20 was a big expense. I also don’t like throwing out good stuff to buy new stuff. But to me the hassle of dealing with the one bad fork isn’t worth messing around with - either toss it or put it in the junk drawer as a non-food instrument and buy new ones of you get low.
