to think that my carer has stolen a knife and a fork?

[ticktocktickboom]

FFS. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I realise how insane I sound.

Please tell me that I don't have a thief? I've been assigned a carer for a couple of weeks while I'm undergoing tests. I've noticed a knife and a fork is now missing (they come from an expensive set).

Am I going utterly insane or would somebody actually steel a knife and fork?

YANBU. Many manufacturers make knives and forks from steel.

how fucking witty

Call the police.

😂

you’re posting earnestly about a knife and fork

It needed a bit of livening up

Thank me later.

Hold the front page! Or search the carer’s bag the next time they visit…with a police witness.

It’s more likely they’ve scraped it into the bin or it’s in the bottom of the dishwasher

Too spoon @SavoirFlair

I was also going to suggest they got thrown away by mistake, or put away in the wrong place.

Before you know it the carer will have nicked the whole set. One fork at a time.

Could they not have simply been misplaced? Or she used them to watcher lunch and accidentally put them in her Tupperware instead of your dishwasher? Why on earth would she steal one knife and one fork?

Maybe they wanted to eat their lunch and accidentally took it home? I've ended up with cutlery from work at home several times. I usually take it back as it's even cheaper and nastier than my own cutlery.

Gosh, this thread is un-fork gettable

That’s fair @JaneJeffer I should have been less carefree. I mean, no forks were given

I guess that’s a whisk they’re willing to take 🤷🏻‍♀️

This thread has me on a knife edge.

For forks sake take this (pizza) wheely seriously

For forks sake what is the world coming to?

Would you give a fork though?

You sound like my ex husband. Every time he couldn’t find anything he was sure someone had broken in and stolen it. And every time I would be like, Why would a thief come in and steal your fill in the blank (belt, notebook, glasses case etc ) and leave the fill in the blank (television, computer, cash etc). But he was never convinced by this response.

This is a brilliant thread

OP they didn’t steal it, but they probably did throw it away when clearing the kitchen, I’ve accidentally binned cutlery a fee times it’s surprisingly easy to do if careless.

That said, most carers I’ve had contact with have also stolen money/jewellery, so keep an eye on your valuables.

Get those apple tracker thingys- one for each piece of the rest of the set so you can trace them!!

Is it a full spoon tonight?

The OP has forked off.
