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?

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

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.

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.

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.
