Cutlery argument - tell me who's right?

[TakeItFromMe]

The order of cutlery in the cutlery drawer. Should it go

A. Forks, knives, spoons

or

B. Knives, Forks, Spoons

Things have come to a head today after months of us both stealthily swapping them to the correct way, depending on who's unloading the dishwasher. I said I'd ask Mumsnet and whatever you say will be the way in future (even if it is the wrong way).

I don't have a separator thing- they're just put in the drawer in a mixed bundle from the dishwasher. So much easier

I want my drawer to be Knives, forks, spoons, but the knives are too long for the left hand compartment, so it has to be the other way round.

It annoys me every day.

And I called knives, knifes. It's all going wrong.

B

I think it depends on the cutlery tray.

We have spoon, fork, knife but that's mostly because the slot on the right is longer so the knives fit better there...

We're spoon, fork, knife in this house but not sure I've ever consciously thought about it!
Out of your two options I would go A though.

Spoon, fork, knife here. I could live with fork, knife, spoon though.

B is just so wrong. Fork in your left hand drive, knife in your right: why would you have them swapped round in the drawer? Madness.

Ok it's going a bit more my way now. I'll run the stats later and tell DH he's wrong

Ours is spoons, forks, knives as it's the only way they'll fit into the tray thingy in the drawer. I find this thread weirdly fascinating

B. Obviously.

You are all mad! It goes knives, forks, spoons!

I need to come and rearrange your drawers!

Mine change all the time. If we use all the cutlery and the slots are empty, then the knives might go into what was previously the spoons slot. It doesn't bother me, as long as the cutlery is separated and nicely lined up :)

Knives forks spoons

Neither, I have no dividers in my cutlery drawer, they all get thrown in together. End of problem.

B
Really annoys me when oh changes them round. I like to just grab them without looking and when MY system gets changed I find myself going to butter the bread with a spoon.

Spoon, fork, knife.

A is the only correct way as that's the way they are laid on the table.

Reading from L to R:

Long knives, carvers etc.: serrated knives: table spoons: soup spoons: dessert spoons: forks: knives

with tea-spoons behind

L to R obviously

A for me. Dh and his family are B. We also play swapsies.

A

I do B!

B

B that's all!

From left to right...Knife, Fork Big Spoons, Little Spoons.

I once had a visitor who pulled me up over seperating cutlery in the dishwasher, which he couldn't fathom. I told him it doesn't really take any extra time and when you have finished you just pick up the whole of one section and put in drawer. He really would of stood there putting cutlery one by one in the drawer
