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.
We can’t shitpost about life now?
I’m just joshin my dude. :)
I know! So am I!

How you know he name
I could just feel it. OP types like a Josh.
I’ll allow it.
Me too but now I found a good use for it. I have a Kitchen utensils holder and I just put the bad fork there. It’s great for tasting., helping ot just holding something while cutting
Just toss it man. You will not miss it.
But my partner likes the fork. There’s the wrinkle. She doesn’t seem to have the same disdain for the fork as I do.
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.
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.
Maybe its time to let go
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.
Forkget about it
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.
The tines are a changing
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.
Yup
Used to have a spoon like this, but I’ve since replaced all my silverware with matching pieces 😌 which is amazing btw
We did the same too. They’re also black, which is awesome.
I’m in my mid 40s and many of my cutlery had names. I’m not kidding. There’s Mack, the knife. Then there’s “gitty”, a fork from git. There’s “Hulk”, my favorite mother-of-Pearl egg spoon (from “spoony god”, got it?!?), another fork named “cleetus”, another knife called “Aragorn”, a huge serving spoon called “Schaffer” (a German thing, from “schaffen”, getting it done), an old knife called Emily (cause it’s blunt), a fork called “Becki” from Bakelite, it’s end of made from it (no dishwasher for Becki, ever), a 2 prong fork called “Chris”, from Christopher Pike, the star Trek captain, “butters” the butter knife, “Ichi”, the Japanese crazy Sharp straight knife, regularly sharpened on “Neil” and “Kappa”, the diamond and the water stone and the list goes on and on. Don’t ask about the other stuff, like “Wicket”, the electric wok. E-wok. Right. That one. I guess, it became kind of a hobby.
Idk why I keep this fork that’s slightly bent and I just sigh then use it.
Every time man, why are the edges so sharp
I have a drawer filled with two sets of silverware: a heavy,solid walmart set,and a cheap,thin dollar store set. The dollar store set you look at them funny and they’re bent. The walmart set,tho,I believe you could commit homicide with one and it would still be fine. Nice and heavy,good feel in the hands. The dollar store set feels like a child’s play set. I despise them but my wife won’t let me throw them out. If I have to use the flimsy ones I too will skip a meal,or wash one of the good utensils.
Got rid of mine
We have two kinds: long and narrow fork and a short and wide fork. I always swap the narrow for the wide.
I also have a thing with the plates. I really don’t like using the ones that don’t have a design on them. There’s just something off about using a blank plate.
Then why not get rid of them?
My wife can still use them. She’s normal.
Yeah but you can’t. If it doesn’t matter much to her anyways then find some you like and just donate the ones you don’t. Shop around at thrift shops if you don’t have much money. That’s what I did, I fricking adore the set I found and I don’t think I paid more than $20 for it.
To take it a step further, I can highly recommend having all your dishes be part of a single matching set. It’s the little things that make you feel like an adult with your life in order, you know?
For now I’ll just roll with it but next time we go shopping for a new set, I’ll definitely take part in the decision making process. No blank plates!
Brain: No its still good.
Me: But I hate it. I never use it. Im going to throw it away.
Brain: No dont!
Do not give in to the hoarder instinct!!!
Besides the “kiddy forks”, there’s one. There’s also one spoon that I always use. If it’s dirty, I’ll clean it first
I feel seen!
