I don’t know why this is posted as a shitpost. This is just life wisdom. There is a single fork in my drawer that I refuse to use, it’s basically like a salad fork, but it’s not quiet big enough to be one, but it’s too large to be used as a normal fork. I. Hate. That. Fork.
We can’t shitpost about life now?
I’m just joshin my dude. :)
How you know he name
I could just feel it. OP types like a Josh.
I know! So am I!

Me too but now I found a good use for it. I have a Kitchen utensils holder and I just put the bad fork there. It’s great for tasting., helping ot just holding something while cutting
Just toss it man. You will not miss it.
But my partner likes the fork. There’s the wrinkle. She doesn’t seem to have the same disdain for the fork as I do.
I have one fork with extra long tines. Dunno where it came from. But every time I grab it, I’m like “Yo, long boi! Youre not going to stab me this time are you?”
And the long fork does not assure me that its not going to stab me this time, because it does not like to lie.
The way OP highlighted the best fork of them all is absolutely wild and I’m never going to recover
Looks like the worst to me as well.
Different forks for different folks
Square handle bases are the worst!
People who think that is the best fork need to be investigated.
Beautifully spaced prongs, sleek long handle, no random ridges or engraving to have dirt get caught in. Chef kiss, no notes.
Nope. We got a 12 seating set for our wedding and donated everything else. We’ve replaced lost/damaged pieces with same ever since, so we have an entirely matching set.
It must feel great to have your life figured out.
Its not just a fork.
I also have a spoon, a butter knife, and a steak knife, that I all hate for no reason, that I actively put back if I accidentally grab them to get something else.
I hate them so much that I will just skip eating if thats all in the drawer and I dont feel like doing dishes.
Maybe its time to let go
Suicide is a bit of an overreaction
Sharp corners and edges, low quality stamping, hard to clean between the prongs and crevices. These are thr things thay make me throw out forks and spoons.
I love how almost everyone in this thread seems to not have a cutlery set. Including me! I can’t be bothered with that shit, there’s better uses for my time and money.
I love you hated fork
It’s more fun that way.
I just checked Ikea’s website and they have cutlery sets on clearance for <$2. Theres plenty at various price points, and only the most expensive get over $20.
I understand different people are in different situations. There have been times in my life when $20 was a big expense. I also don’t like throwing out good stuff to buy new stuff. But to me the hassle of dealing with the one bad fork isn’t worth messing around with - either toss it or put it in the junk drawer as a non-food instrument and buy new ones of you get low.
Well, the thing is also that among the selection there’s forks I love, it’s a domestic adventure!
I have one spoon I prefer because of the thinness of it and I have had a 4 pack in my hand and not bought them because it might make it less special. How am I supposed to be an adult with a brain like this?
Yup
We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.
Forkget about it
Every time man, why are the edges so sharp
I don’t see how people can eat with broken, bent or sharpened tines.
I accidentally bite my food instruments enough that I don’t need individual instruments to be unique.
Huh, I can’t think of a single time I’ve accidentally bitten a fork or spoon. I can’t even think of a way that it would happen. Now I’m curious if this happens to others?
I’ve accidentally bitten a fork but very rarely, every few years maybe. It’s not pleasant.
Never
Are these people trying to scrape the food off their forks using their teeth instead of lips?!!
It’s rare, but every time it’s incredibly unpleasant. It’s expecting to bite into a nice soft food, but instead chomping on a piece of metal, praying that you didn’t just break a tooth.
It happened to me a few times one year when I started getting neurological disorder. It stopped once I started paying attention to what I eat, cherishing every bite.
At age 35 you should be considering throwing out (well, donating) the misc silverware for a matching set, I think. This was more of an issue in my 20s when my silverware was all mismatching.
The tines are a changing
For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.
It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I’ve had a complete set of matching silverware since.
…except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I’ve held onto for over 40 years that doesn’t match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.
Yeah, it’s funny, I’ve replaced almost all of my silverware but I still have a couple of spoons that are from the set my parents had when I was growing up. It’s an oddly nostalgic thing.
Used to have a spoon like this, but I’ve since replaced all my silverware with matching pieces 😌 which is amazing btw
We did the same too. They’re also black, which is awesome.
I’m 31 going on 32 and I do have one fork I feel this way towards! Hooray, I’m adulting correctly (for once)!
