      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.

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

    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.

    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.

          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?

    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?

    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.

    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.
