now I have anxiety because I know for a fact that if somebody switched to them I’d be annoyed but I have no idea what order they’re in so I have to go look

pelletbucket ,

oh wait. I have a ADHD and I live alone so I don’t use a drawer organizer, I opened the drawer and remembered that all of my cutlery is just scattered randomly in there.

amelia ,

Spoons, forks, knives. That’s the only correct order. Knives are on the right because you use them with your right hand, obviously.

Spoons > can opener > turnips > crimper > one teaspoon > mushy peas

I have them arranged in the order the little plastic tray has for them. I’ve honestly never thought of the order of cutlery in my friends houses and find your level of obsession with it slightly eccentric, but in an endearing and humorous way.

Linuto ,

I have the arranged in the order I use them most. Spoons are on the left, then forks, then knives. I rarely need knives while eating, just for cooking.

Knives, forks, table spoons and tea spoons separately, that’s eating cutlery, cooking cutlery like bigger knives, ladles etc is bunched up in the biggest compartment

I’m with you OP, left to right ~ Knives ~ Forks ~ Spoons~ plus the tea spoons go in their own auxiliary area.

For a meal with a soup as a starter you’d set the table like this:

Fork, plate, knife, spoon

Now take away the plate and you have the, for ne most logical way of putting cutlery into the drawer.

Do people really put so much thought into it? I added a separator to my drawer and the cutlery got whatever slot they were randomly thrown into, so I’ve got forks, knives, spoons, more spoons, and teaspoons (I have a lot of spoons for some reason). I’m not attached to that layout and if it changed I wouldn’t really care.

Rincewindnz OP ,

Probably not, I was curious. It’s a pretty petty thing to be annoyed about.

The internet is full of people that may like to share some idiosyncrasies for the entertainment. These things are unique and at the end of the day is truly unimportant.

Except I’m right and that person that has no divider at all is possibly on watch lists.

Salad fingers?

Cup on the counter with forks spoons and chopsticks. There are a couple steak knives in a drawer.

Artyom ,

Your knife goes on the right on your place setting next to your spoon. Your fork goes on the left. If you want to set a place settling with all 3, it’s easiest to put spoons in the middle.

Rincewindnz OP ,

This is an interesting take, I don’t often have several course meals and maybe the intricacies of proper dining are not going to be passed on to future generations. Peon status affirmed.

I just throw regular eating cutlery in one drawer, sharp knives in another, and cooking utensils like spatulas and whatnot in another.

verity_kindle ,

I don’t.

Everything in a cylinder

I place them in the same order the table should be made (clockwise order): forks, spoons, knives.

Moving the spoons one step sounds reasonable I guess but I’d never switch places of the forks and the knives. If the order was knives, forks I’d have to switch hands to grab them and that thought bothers me more than I thought it would. TIL this is a pet peeve of mine
