Stupidest thing you've lost your shit over? Mine is spoons.

[IncompleteSenten]

Just now gone to get breakfast (I know it's quarter past 2, I was busy) and the ice cream sundae spoons and the serving spoons are in the same section of the cutlery tray as the table spoons. I had a mini tantrum to myself because this happens every. single. bloody. time. I put the spoons away properly - teaspoons in one section, tablespoons in one section, ice cream spoons in one section, serving spoons in ... you get the picture.
Yet whenever anyone else unloads the dishwasher, what do I later open the kitchen drawer to see?
Huge pile of assorted spoons in the tablespoon section.
If you can out trivial-shit me, I'll be surprised.

To save you all some time :D :D
Is this all I have to worry about?
No. I'm also deeply concerned about the beans being in the peas row of my tin cupboard and the loo roll getting hung 'over' instead of the right way, which is under.

Why don't I just do it myself if it bothers me so much?
Fuck off. :D there are 4 adults in this house and 3 of them are doing shit WRONG and I'm not rewarding them by turning into the housework fairy.

I hate it that cardboard for recycling builds up because no one takes it out whenever they leave the flat.

I live alone. I'm annoyed at myself. I still don't do it before there's a huge pile.

No.

No

I grew up with an annoying little sister and I have no life.
I can do this all day. 🤣

With what do you eat soup?!

Ignore me. Saw photo. Panicked. Have now read full post!

It's ok. I would have panicked in your shoes too. 😁

I lost my shit today because my oncologist thought if was ok to tell in a corridor and on my own that I am unable to have potentially life-saving surgery.

@TheaBrandt

theyd learn fast here. My knees are fucked so they'd have to wait until I was done working fir the day!

not that I'd have an attic office!

I am so sorry to hear that. That is absolutely disgusting of them

Just reading this thread is giving me the rage 🤬

I'm really sorry. I would have lost it too.

That's awful. Both the news and the way it was delivered. I'm so sorry.

He. Uses. A. Plate?! Renew your marriage vows immediately!!!
We have various plates in the cupboard, but apparently, it seems very freeing to wander around, dropping toast crumbs and blobs of jam on the rugs and laminate... Every. Single. Morning... Even if I'm sat there watching him do it!!! The phrase most frequently used by me in our house is " FOR FUCKS SAKE, USE A FUCKING PLATE"!!! And still, he won't.. Nor will he wipe the breadboard... Because, he forgets... I make myself food, if I don't wipe round then, I remember to wipe round when I take my plate into the kitchen... But noooo, not him!

OMG YES!

I now throw it in the bin.

I have one similar. I use it for tubes of tomato puree. Works a treat. It also stands arse-end up in the cupboard, so it doesn't leak out of the lid end.

How has no one on this thread questioned the fact that you wash your toddlers teeth with a towel?!

I do not understand the logistics or motive

I have proper measuring spoons galore.

My tablespoon is 'tablespoon' sized. I have used it for cooking for years, and DM before me, and it is probably about 80 years old now. It is literally the definitive tablespoon. And yes, I have checked. All my other tablespoons I use as serving spoons because they are either bigger or too flat to measure properly.

Anyway, why do they say 'tablespoon' in recipes if tablespoons aren't tablespoon-sized? You'll be telling me teaspoons aren't teaspoon-sized next. And don't get me started on the American 'cups'. Yes I do have some of them as well
😂

Because 'tablespoon' started as an approximate measure, I expect. So the question is why are they called 'tablespoons' in the first place, which I've already answered.

Anyway I beat you all because I have a....

Mustard spoon.

Not being able to peel of the "easy peel" plastic on the front of anything - bacon, mice, smoked salmon, sandwiches - in one go. I always end up having to cut around the edges with a knife which then needs to be washed or awkwardly trying to pull sarnies out of a half opened window. I've even held the tiny end bit of the bacon ones in my teeth to try to get a better grip than with my nails, yet it always splits or goes under the peelable bit. I seriously don't know how people do it. There must be a knack.

Only if it matches your salt spoon, and ideally the pickle fork as well.

Silver salt spoons tarnish too much, so a wooden one is better for salt.

The pickle fork matches the long-handled pickle spoon, and the nutcrackers. I have inherited an inordinate amount of vintage cutlery over the years, and I am also a sucker for a car boot sale. I have one small oyster-shell shaped spoon that is used only for cranberry sauce on Christmas day.

American tablespoons are a standard measure. 1 Tb of butter is half an ounce.

I recall my mum had a little Waterford glass bowl with a notch cut at the top, and a little lid over the top, for mint sauce. It had its own scoopy little spoon that rested in the notch.

Oh love, I'm so sorry to hear that you're unable to have the surgery. Did he tell you why you can't have it!!

in the corridor -what a bastard!!! I hope you properly lost your shit!
