When I moved in w my gf the only forks in the house were 2 forks of the same kind and I hated them, so I went to the dollar store and bought a fork that didn't suck, and when she asked me why I had to tell her of the loathing I carried for her utensils. She just shook her head but a few years later yet another fork appeared in the house (which I also don't like, but don't actively detest), so I can only conclude that she must've not thought too much of her forks in the first place. Plus she occasionally uses my dollar store fork. I may not have much in the way of taste but clearly I'm doing OK in the fork game.

I feel seen!

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We have two kinds: long and narrow fork and a short and wide fork. I always swap the narrow for the wide.

I also have a thing with the plates. I really don't like using the ones that don't have a design on them. There's just something off about using a blank plate.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Then why not get rid of them?

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My wife can still use them. She's normal.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but you can't. If it doesn't matter much to her anyways then find some you like and just donate the ones you don't. Shop around at thrift shops if you don't have much money. That's what I did, I fricking adore the set I found and I don't think I paid more than $20 for it.

To take it a step further, I can highly recommend having all your dishes be part of a single matching set. It's the little things that make you feel like an adult with your life in order, you know?

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

For now I'll just roll with it but next time we go shopping for a new set, I'll definitely take part in the decision making process. No blank plates!

Brain: No its still good.

Me: But I hate it. I never use it. Im going to throw it away.

Brain: No dont!

Do not give in to the hoarder instinct!!!!!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Forks where the back half is heavier then the front half give me so much rage. Why my fork keep falling off my plate???

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But it becomes perfectly balanced when your holding food in it

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But when it has food on it, you hold the fork in your hand and thus can ignore imbalance

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

a) why are you putting your fork down? Dinner is a race.

b) does your fork have a huge jeweled pomel? I can't image a fork so imbalanced that you accidently place it such that it falls off the plate lol.

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Some forks have really "fancy" hand - thick and heavy.

Of course, it's a small problem, but annoying one

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I kinda get it in concept. But I can't imagine leaving enough of my fork hanging out past my plate that this would ever be a problem no matter how heavy-handled the fork.

Can I get a pic of how you rest your fork? 🤣

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago

Mine is a knife from a different set than the others.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have a spoon that's not weighted properly and it pisses me off.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Throw it in the garbage /lifehack

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

There are some identical forks that I will wash one to eat with if I have to.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

For me, I had two sets of silverware and then two stray forks that I'd no clue from whence they came. Once I had them, though, every fork from the actual sets became the one I didn't want to use.

[–] tavu@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Apart from the pleasant one on the left, they're all the worst. The 4th from the right is almost good, but then you notice the creepy-as-fuck centre tine-gap length.

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

This man forks

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago (9 children)

Chopsticks are superior anyways

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

For sushi and literally nothing else

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Eating chips/popcorn without getting dust on your fingers. For stabbing if it's something thick or you can cross them like an X to use them as makeshift scissors. They're just lightweight tongs and their precision allows for a range from a single grain of rice to an entire steak. It's just a matter of mastery.

As a bonus they're wooden so they don't ruin my cookware when I scrape. You see wooden spoons but rarely wooden forks.
