I like having knives, forks, spoons left to right as that is how I say it “grab a knife and fork”.

I am staying in an Airbnb and they have the spoons separating the knives and forks and wonder if this is in insane or maybe I am the minority/insane one?

You guys organize your utensils?

It all goes into one pile. Steak knives, paring knives, forks, spoons, butter knives, etc.

Gotta make getting cutlery spicy.

Make sure bandaids are handy - in fact, better through them into the pile too:-P

I bought a drawer organizer and then put the utensils in the slots they fit best in.

Silverware caddy, forks go in the fork shape. :)

I’m taking this as obviously the correct answer if the fancy silverware manufacturer recommends that order.

This is what big silverware want you to believe. Wake up sheeple! A fork and a spoon in the same slot? Open your eyes, man!

Spoons go on the left!!!

I checked the dsm and cutlery drawer organization is not a criteria for sanity. Deep breath and enjoy your holiday.

That’s complete anarchy; I hope you corrected it!

You grab a knife, knife and fork, a fork, a fork and spoon or a just spoon, you never grab a knife and spoon.

I’m glad someone else is outraged as I was, enough to make a shit post about it on the internet anyway.

It’s worse than mixing dessert and soup spoons!

Wouldn’t it be more ergonomic to have some space between commonly-paired utensils when grabbing them?
