I did this for a few years and it was amazing.
as a single dad living with one teenager kid, the two plate strategy was a total game changer.
He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.
That's one beautiful teaspoon
He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can't find some else and feels the urge to kill again.
We're a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.
That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!
He's 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?
Dude I'm 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it's up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.
HAHA TEENAGERS AMIRITE
F'realz
I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!
It's all he needs
I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes
That would make sense, it's the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn't know
lol two spoons and a fork, what a waste. i only use one spoon for everything.
edit: ooh i get it now, they have a significant other who sometimes visits. (big spoon, small spoon)
Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I'm not fuckin around.
Been there done that
I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.

Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.
I don't know what this is but it's certainly not in keeping with the lord's way.
Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles

He never has dishes
Is your friend Bill Dauterive?
I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can't have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.
Been travelling in an RV for a while now. Family of 3. Have 3 forks, 2 knives (because adults cut the kid's food) and 4 plates since you need somewhere to put food off the BBQ that isn't someone's plate. It's glorious. So easy to clean up.
This is the way. Friends think I really like this one bowl. Truth is I like an empty sink, so I force myself to wash it by only owning one bowl.

you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft
Did they borrow these from a restaurant. I just find it more menacing to just buy 1 of each, searched online and I can’t find a single reasonably priced utensil set that only sells 1 of each in the set.
2 words: Thrift. Shop.
Walmart sometimes sells utensils individually in store, they're loose in bins with a little plastic price barcode attached

No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?
They live alone, why have a pie server if you are just gonna eat it yourself?

Knife should be on the left and the spoons on the right. Fite me.
You think I'm worried about fighting someone that has to reach over the gentry silverware to grab the knife?

OP is a fancy one with their actual silverware. When i was a bachelor, it was box of plastic forks, box of plastic spoons, and box of plastic knives.
Saving up for singular silverware would probably save you money in the long run
I usually get them from take out places or the cafeteria. Never bought any single use items during my bachelor years.

You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
See, if I had that guys place you would find these 4 utensils in the sink because I'm a monster
