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?

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.
My psychopath ex-wife took out the separator and just dumped them all in at random. Only one of the reasons she’s my ex.
