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?!!

Only 274 to go, did you know..

nickelbabe · 29/03/2010 12:46

cake forks go in their own separate drawer with the posh cutlery.
(or in the same drawer as the serving stuff if you're not posh)

nickelbabe · 29/03/2010 12:47

hey! where have all the SFKers gone?

i feel all lonely.

i'll just shout louder

Spoons
Forks knives !!!!!

nickelbabe · 29/03/2010 12:47

eh?
i only typed 1 * at the beginning and end....

gibbberish · 29/03/2010 12:49

So funny that this inane thread is still going.

And I'm going to add to it. FWIW the ONLY way to store your currently is as follows (left to right):

Forks
Knives
Spoons

Obviously.

nickelbabe · 29/03/2010 13:16

blimey, gibberish!

that's odd!

you've nearly got it right.
just swap your spoons to the left side and move the other two over one, so that you end up with Spoons, Forks, Knives.

gibbberish · 29/03/2010 16:43

I would nickelbabe. But it would just fly in the face of reason.

FORK, SPOON, KNIFE FOREVER!

gibbberish · 29/03/2010 16:44

Aaargh my mind has been corrupted!

It actually is:

FORK KNIFE SPOON FOREVER!

THK · 29/03/2010 16:50

OMG bit of a panic now, my cake forks are in the same drawer as my beloved K.F.S.
Butter knives too
OK large drawer and own compartments-
But just realised in a non posh manner( not posh enough for 2 drawers) they go Teaspoons, cake forks, butter knives ie SFK !

RatherBeOnThePiste · 29/03/2010 19:06

ahem

Cake forks are an unnecessary evil. Chuck them out asap

But that chair is missing a knife...

Priorities slipping, Piste

Pickle forks
Chopsticks
Jam spoons

THK · 30/03/2010 01:47

KnottyLocks - Please please dont say grape scissors next - Im sooo wanting a pair of grape scissors but theyre too expensive.
And guess anyway without 2 drawers and not being posh they'd have no home
Could chopstitcks count as knives? shouldnt it be
Chopsticks
Pickle forks
jam spoons?
thinking now what to do with the cake forks...evil cakes....evil

KnottyLocks · 30/03/2010 08:08

Scissor porn

Must add to my wish list. Display them with pride, THK.

KnottyLocks · 30/03/2010 08:14

How on earth have I managed without these pizza scissors?

KnottyLocks · 30/03/2010 13:16

How could you resist these little fellas? Perfect for Easter.

THK · 30/03/2010 17:03

Knotty locks Im sold...on to pastures new, the second drawer is being emptied without delay... its now officially the scissor drawer-
It goes:
Pizza scissors - Pizza will never be the same again - Ok i dont eat pizza but I might!! now that it can be cut in perfect triangles.
Meat scissors
Novelty scissors - dont you just love the rabbit ears?
Grape scissors - Ohhh the envy, less than half the price of the one's I'd found...OK bit tacky looking but no more pulling stalks. Im so having a pair for my birthday next week. drinks and grapes , my place!

KnottyLocks · 30/03/2010 17:10

You're on. Will bring my ceremonial scissors to cut the ribbon and perhaps a small
gift?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/03/2010 17:31

chairs for knotty

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/03/2010 17:33

... and what the bloody hell are grape scissors?

Unnecessary twaddle

Hello Piste

I'm liking the spoonchair. Those forks and knives are too pointy and aggressive. Whereas a spoon is wonderfully organic in shape - very harmonious.

THK · 31/03/2010 05:19

Grape scissors essential ... Knotty forever in your debt
will lose the cake forks OK?
does spoon chair look like a naughty chair??

KnottyLocks · 31/03/2010 09:51

I'm thinking a naughty chair is exactly what Piste has in mind for me.

nickelbabe · 31/03/2010 11:26

i don't post for 2 days and what happens?
you move onto scissors!

don't get me started on scissors, i can beat you down!

give me half an hour....

ps. cake forks are not evil, they're essential. you can even get ones for left-handed people

nickelbabe · 31/03/2010 11:37

it was a very very ver very bad idea to google scissors.

see what happens!!
