    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.

    I have one spoon I prefer because of the thinness of it and I have had a 4 pack in my hand and not bought them because it might make it less special. How am I supposed to be an adult with a brain like this?

    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.

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

    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.

      Huh, I can’t think of a single time I’ve accidentally bitten a fork or spoon. I can’t even think of a way that it would happen. Now I’m curious if this happens to others?

        I’ve accidentally bitten a fork but very rarely, every few years maybe. It’s not pleasant.

        It’s rare, but every time it’s incredibly unpleasant. It’s expecting to bite into a nice soft food, but instead chomping on a piece of metal, praying that you didn’t just break a tooth.

        It happened to me a few times one year when I started getting neurological disorder. It stopped once I started paying attention to what I eat, cherishing every bite.
