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.

The way OP highlighted the best fork of them all is absolutely wild and I'm never going to recover

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yup

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.

I'm this way with a spoon. I call it the dingus spoon. Hate 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.

Idk why I keep this fork that's slightly bent and I just sigh then use it.

Used to have a spoon like this, but I’ve since replaced all my silverware with matching pieces 😌 which is amazing btw

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 hate all forks big enough not to pass for a salad fork

Every time man, why are the edges so sharp

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.

I don't see how people can eat with broken, bent or sharpened tines.

I accidentally bite my food instruments enough that I don't need individual instruments to be unique.

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.

yeah, if I get that fork by accident I go and get another 😆

I'm 31 going on 32 and I do have one fork I feel this way towards! Hooray, I'm adulting correctly (for once)!

Got rid of mine

Butter knives, I hate them all.

all my forks are like that, I hate the smaller ones

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

When I moved in w my gf the only forks in the house were 2 forks of the same kind and I hated them, so I went to the dollar store and bought a fork that didn't suck, and when she asked me why I had to tell her of the loathing I carried for her utensils. She just shook her head but a few years later yet another fork appeared in the house (which I also don't like, but don't actively detest), so I can only conclude that she must've not thought too much of her forks in the first place. Plus she occasionally uses my dollar store fork. I may not have much in the way of taste but clearly I'm doing OK in the fork game.

My mom's house was like this. When we inherited my grandma's nicely molded and weighted set she just put them all in the drawer together with the cheap but decent set we already had. She then went and added a cheap amazon stamped sheet metal set, which was painted black so it didn't even match a little bit, on top of it all.

Drove me nuts until I could finally move out and buy a single cohesive set for my drawer.
