It always has
Knives, forks, spoons..... always

AI therefore BU to be irritated beyond belief that when DH unloads the sodding dishwasher that he cannot get it right?He always puts them in random places in our cutlery tray, but never knives, forks, spoons

I suspect he does it like this so that I stop asking him to do it, but we have been together for 15 years!

Knives, forks, spoons or AIBU?!!

PMSL @ Knotty's eclectic drawers and Piste's head exploding!

Umami · 26/01/2010 20:43

The following exchange occurred just moments ago en casa Umami:

DH: You have flummoxed me
Me: Why?
DH: You have arranged the cutlery in the dishwasher differently.

So not even just the drawers which must be correct, but also the dishwasher!

Umami · 26/01/2010 20:44

Ooops, forgot.

Forks
Spoons
Knives

sorry as a man i konow i must be wrong, but it is spoons,forks, knives with tea spoons under. and anyone with less than 3 cutlery drawers is just not trying.

RockbirdandHerSpork · 27/01/2010 20:55

shdad, you may be a man, but you speak more sense than 90% of the loons on this thread. I assume you are talking L-->R though. That holds the key to correct cutlery placement.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/01/2010 22:31

Three cutlery drawers

crashing sound as Piste faints head first into the cat's dinner

PigeonPie · 27/01/2010 23:14

Rather, I've got three cutlery drawers.

One for the eating cutlery - Knives, Forks Spoons and napkins etc.

One for the kitchen cooking cutlery - sharp knives, kitchen bone handled knives (the only thing for making pastry and spreading butter), metal kitchen forks, and metal spoons and stirring spoons, oh and tea spoons at the front - all to hand by the cooker.

Then the third is for all the rest of the big stuff, fish slices, spatulas, big jam spoons, the mouli-grater etc etc which won't be compartmentalised.

Mumcentreplus · 27/01/2010 23:37

Knives,Forks,Spoons at the mo but I actually prefer spoons in the centre...

Well technicallly its garlic press,pizza cutter tin-opener,small grater ,cake slice,knife sharper,large metal spoons,wooden spoon and spatula..other various do-dads, then knife,fork,spoon,compartment next to them kitchen knives and chopsticks?..running long the bottom teaspoons, fish knifes?? and my lone butter knife realises drawer is actually quite big

AmeliaJaneAgain · 27/01/2010 23:44

yup, KFS here too, or you have to open the drawer all the way and that takes...like ages...

shockers · 27/01/2010 23:49

Blimming heck... is this still going?

majafa · 28/01/2010 10:24

Heres a song for you
(sung to the head, sholders, knees and toes tune)

Knives, Forks, spoons left to right

Knives, Forks, spoons, left to right

Knives, Forks, Spoons, left to right

Knives forks and spoons left to right
Left to Right

or something like that tune anyway..

Alambil · 28/01/2010 10:27

spoons, forks, knives, teaspoons along the bottom here... just to annoy everyone

RockbirdandHerSpork · 28/01/2010 13:58

LF, you talk sense.

Ha! Piste hasn't dared to ocme back to this thread I see. That's 'cos she's finally accepted that she is a loon

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/01/2010 14:08

Here I Am

I am with majafa actually and I am going to suggest we sing her song as our National Anthem!

Every time I look in my cutlery drawer now it makes me titter and be very smug

Because I have it right so there

Bloody Knives
Bloody forks
and
Bloody Spoons

innit

KINVES
FORKS
SPOONS

left to right

Heathcliffscathy · 30/01/2010 17:15

this thread needs to go in classics.

it would be knives forks spoons except for some reason there are a lot more spoons then knives and forks and therefore they tend to jump the divide and end up in all three compartments. it doesn't bother me so much. what does is that our kitchen eats teaspoons. I regularly have to buy more. why?

TidyBush · 30/01/2010 17:16

what the bloody hell are KINVES?? I mean KNIVES of course

Heathcliffscathy · 30/01/2010 17:17

I am of course assuming that you mean dessert spoons when you say spoons. and that you don't all have your dessert and teaspoons mixed up together. because clearly teaspoons go along the bottom in that compartment. right?

TidyBush · 30/01/2010 17:18

OK I concede that it's

KNIVES
FORKS
DESSERT SPOONS
TEA SPOONS

Left to right (for the pendants)
