      Really?? Wanna trade because I can’t stand the big forks. Like why are they so large? I don’t want to consume my entire meal in a single bite.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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 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.
