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😉

We have 24 of each item!! Sometimes all the knives are used if there’s a lot of toast being eaten.

Mine don't lie L-R in the drawer but front to back - knives, forks, spoons. So with your husband!
I don't understand the table thing though. Should right handed people eat with their fork in their left hand? It makes no sense to me! I am right handed and use my fork in my right hand which seems more logical?

Forks, knives, spoons.

The fork and knife are in the place you find them on the table, so you can grab with the correct hand and lay out without shuffling around. Spoons are often used as a separate item and we are right handed, so it makes sense they are to the right. Teaspoons along the bottom.

Cutlery drawer is knives, forks, spoons because that is the chronological order of using them during a meal

I'm in the bath so can't check my drawer. And honestly can't remember....

I know spoons are far right though.

It's just however we first filled the drawer. As we never run it down to empty so the order doesn't change.

We are the same as you OP.

Spoon, fork then knife

I 'file' them as I say it, from left to right, knives, forks and spoons.

Spoons, forks, knives.
Teaspoons at the bottom.

I think forks, knives, spoons would also be acceptable, but never knives, forks, spoons.

I do spoons, forks, knives too, OP.

Completely unconscious, but that's how my Mum did it so I guess I just followed her way.

Midlands working class, in case that has anything to do with it. I am now far more curious about people's drawers than I was.

Yay!

I've found my people.
And no, we shouldn't be shot. 🤣

Knives, forks, spoons.
The longer slot for sharper knives and other utensils is next to the knives.

I don't have a thing that separates them; all cutlery is placed loosely in the drawer, mingling freely with one another at will.

This thread has made me realise everyone is insane and tries to justify it with their own explanations.

That being said it’s spoons, forks, knives in this house but for what reason I don’t have a clue.

Thank fuck there are some normal people here!

I am envious of people who can spare the time to agonise about such trivia!

Oh I’ve never agonised mrsB as I’m right

Fork knife spoon spoon

I know spoons are far right though

Those damn spoons, with their neo-Nazi ideology...

I have spoons, forks, knives.... Any other way feels weird.

I do same same as you OP.

I remember MIL reorganising my cutlery drawer because I had it "all wrong"

Stupid bitch

Knives, forks, spoons, left to right

No specific order if the ones that held knives and spoons are empty, they may well get swapped around as long as they are each in their own.
Just checked and it is currently knives spoons forks teaspoons.

Forks knives spoons.

If you lay tables you grab them and automatically have them in the right hand. Maybe having worked in restaurants made that my normal.
