Oh I have very good, and very specific reasons for hating that spoon

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 points 2 months ago

I want to subscribe to your newsletter

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or those skinny forks. Give me a real fork, dammit.

[–] Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

The amount of times I have to go back to fetch a new fork just because the one someone else brought for me is "wrong" somehow.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Beaten by those forks with a very long "forehead" (the area before the actual prongs, idk what you would call that)

I hate that spoon too

[–] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It has been bent so many times that the shaft isn't a smooth curve anymore.

I hate that one.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a review on Grinder

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Dude, fuck that spoon

[–] RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Happy to see i'm not the only one with this issue.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, I can't use it because it's mismatched but I also can't throw away a perfectly good spoon.

[–] termaxima@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Gift it ! That’s what I’ve done with all the silverware I didn’t like !

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

How do people react if you gift them a single spoon?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago

"I guess I'll just use a fork and accept that it's going to be inefficient and leaky"

looks at a normal sized spoon at a restaurant

What on Earth are they thinking? Do they seriously expect me to use this big ass spoon?

I’ve gifted all the non-conforming silverware I had to other people. The only kind I have 0 issues with is IKEA’s ätbart : entirely made of stainless steel, no weird shapes, pleasing motifs on the handles. I have 2 boxes worth so far, possibly going to double that again to make sure I never run out before I die.

The worst a spoon can do in my eyes is be too circular ; I need a pointed shape so I can actually dig in !

The worst kind of silverware is those knives with only a tiny weird blade at the end, looking like a moon crescent. Yuck ! Give me a nice straight bar of a knife with teeth all along the blade, so I can properly push and cut 😅

It doesn't match

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I relate every time, then look and see where I’m at.

I also pull out every fork until I find my favorite one. It’s the one that’s bent juuuuust right.

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have all black cutlery and when those are being washed and I need to use the... silver cutlery, I feel gross.

LOL :')

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have an immediate and irrational negative reaction to the idea of black cutlery. It's supposed to be silver. Instead of getting over it or introspecting, I'm just gonna call you names. You bumpkin. Fucking black silverware!?! You're the problem!

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

But.. but.. it matches my decor! :(

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

It's a fork in my case. How dare it have a wide handle that feels weird.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I wonder if there's like one type of spoon everyone hates or different types for different people. If it's the latter, we need a spoon swap. No talking to each other. Just spoons and swap.

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I only have good spoons. ✨

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That looks like one of the spoons I may or may not have taken from the college cafeteria.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

we have ~50-50% smaller spoons and bigger spoons. I only use the smaller spoons and nobody else cares enough to have an opinion about them

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It knows what it did.

[–] SilverArrows@autistics.life 1 points 1 week ago

@possiblylinux127 it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife 🎶
