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?!!

Oooo! Just stumbled on this thread.
Mine, theoretically, goes forks knives spoons. In reality it goes cutlery, cutlery, big knives and skewers and pizza cutter, medicine spoons and teaspoons. And then there's some random stuff in there like coins and conkers

dillydallydolly · 25/03/2010 00:15

Yeah YNBU -I just realised ours goes like that too so it must be correct
technically though goes really big, long, sharp, bread knives... knives... forks... spoons.
Men are annoying in general I find anyway, just enjoy the 'doing it the proper way whilst tut tutting him under your breath as you redo it' gets me through

Mouseface - its bliss ,freezer, fridge
colour coded freezer/ fridge containers oooh, just love it ( no packets or plastic bags)bought a laminator so could print off labels and laminate .
Problem being cant help organising other peoples kitchens - they think Im off my head but could spend hours doing it. wonder if theres a career in it somewhere??

nickelbabe · 27/03/2010 14:24

ooooohhhhh (i just went all Homer Simpson spying do-nuts then!)

i hate bags in the freezer but i just can't seem to get rid of them (most containers are the wrong size/shape)

you would like my dad THK: whatever he buys in packets, they get transferred into labelled jars (which all match - it's scary!)
i remember once he was really upset because Co-op changed the shape of their coffee jars, so he couldn't get any more that matched the ones he had!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/03/2010 15:46

THK at the laminator

Currently my loon DHG has done the cutlery and he has done it FKS - what the bollocks is that?

Knives
Forks
Spoons

or you are loons

KAEKAE · 27/03/2010 15:55

My knives and forks sometimes change order but spoons always last! lol

nickelbabe · 27/03/2010 16:24

FKS ????

that's weird!

KAEKAE: also weird. put the spoons on the left, put the forks in the middle and put the knives on the right.

elmofan · 27/03/2010 16:38

29 pages of discussing cutlery ah well if you cant beat em join em = mine goes knives, forks spoons too

nickelbabe · 27/03/2010 16:45

RatherBeOnThePiste is ahem [drinkydrinkymotion]. so you must rearrange your drawers forthwith!

nickelbabe · 27/03/2010 16:47

and it's only 15 pages if you have it set to 50 messages per page

elmofan · 27/03/2010 17:28

drinking too much of gran-pappy medicine is she oh I'm bored so might do a re-shuffle for the fun of watching dh grab a fork to stir his tea lol

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/03/2010 21:49

Nicklebabe - I'd Love your dad.
Mines same - all transeferred.
I had to rebuy all my freezer containers as the company stopped using the same colours around the lids which didnt fit with the colour system I use. DH goes bananas, worried he's going to be boxed and labelled.
Ratherbeonthepiste - This could be a national sport or a new Dick and Dom TV moment?
