Spoons then forks then knives

[B0bbin]

In your cutlery drawer, do you have spoons on the left, then forks, then knives? That makes sense to me because when you lay them out on the table it's forks on left and knives on the right. My DH puts them away (wrong) as knives on left then forks then spoons, just because he says it sounds right- when you say, 'knives, forks, spoons.'
I'm fully aware of the current world problems which are affecting us all terribly. This is still important😉

Your DH is right.

Oh shit

Gosh - your way does seem odd sorry. Knives forks spoons here too.

My dad does it like you.
Forks, knives, spoons left to right in mine. I think because forks go in left hand and knife in right hand.
It drove me nuts when he unpacked my dishwasher

Also, the knife is the man, the fork is the woman and the spoon is the child. Discuss.

Knives, forks spoons. Sharp knives at the side.

I am known to sort peoples cutlery drawers out and put their tea, coffee, sugar pots in order too

Ours didn't go left to right, they go front to back and it's (from the front) - tea spoons, forks, knives, spoons

I do forks, knives, spoons. Same as you, fork goes on your left therefore on left in drawer. When I'm laying the table I'll grab the direct number of forks in my left hand and the knives and spoons in my right as only my right hand is dexterous enough to swap them one handed as i put out each place.

When an item of cutlery was dropped in our house growing up, my mum would use this to predict who was coming round- e.g. dropped a knife, "oooh, that means a man's coming round," yep

Spoons, forks then knives.
My cutlery tray has a different size slot on the right side & the knives only seem to fit in there.

Knives, forks then spoons - L - R
Dessert comes after the main.

spoons forks knives.

i have diagnosed OCD and have a tic where i have to name the cutlery as i put it away. i am sometimes to be found chuntering away knife knife fork spoon fork little spoon spoon knife etc.

drives me mental. but yes, OP, you have your cutlery drawer arranged correctly.

Your DH is right

I have never thought about it, but I just checked my drawer and I also have (left to right) knives, forks and spoons with sharp knives to the right.

We have spoons, forks, knives left to right too because of the left hand, right hand thing.

I do exactly the same as @Amigoingmad29weeks

Knives, forks, spoons - anything else is just weird (looking at you BIL)

Same as you :)

Knife fork spoon.

My mum's cutlery drawer is different. Aka wrong. And yes, we do helpfully rearrange for each other, 😁

Knives, forks, spoons but I agree knives are men and talks are women. Teaspoons along the bottom are children though, dessert and soupspoons are cuddling lovers.

Knife fork spoon

I do have an odd thing though that when I put them away I can't do it in a mix t has to be all of one then all of another then all of another

Knives, forks, spoons, tea spoons at bottom. Randoms (garlic press, corkscrew) in same drawer to the right of cutlery tray.

But I constantly forget correct hands for cutlery - maybe that’s why!

Knives, forks, spoons, then teaspoons.

I'd never even considered the relationship between cutlery draw lay out and laying the table!

Why do so many of us seemingly unconsciously use that order?
