He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 31 minutes ago

He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can't find some else and feels the urge to kill again.

[-] AraJuSanja@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

It's all he needs

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

We're a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes

[-] P1k1e@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

That would make sense, it's the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn't know

lol two spoons and a fork, what a waste. i only use one spoon for everything.

edit: ooh i get it now, they have a significant other who sometimes visits. (big spoon, small spoon)

[-] Loce@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Been there done that

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

He never has dishes

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 hours ago

Is your friend Bill Dauterive?

[-] cellardoor@lemmy.world 34 points 17 hours ago

Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.

I don't know what this is but it's certainly not in keeping with the lord's way.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 25 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles

I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 23 points 19 hours ago

You underestimate some of us

you can honestly get by with just a spoon. need a butter knife? use the spoon handle. need to jab something? just scoop it instead. need to cut something? just cook it a little more so it gets soft

[-] ALilOff@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Did they borrow these from a restaurant. I just find it more menacing to just buy 1 of each, searched online and I can’t find a single reasonably priced utensil set that only sells 1 of each in the set.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

2 words: Thrift. Shop.

[-] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 13 hours ago

Walmart sometimes sells utensils individually in store, they're loose in bins with a little plastic price barcode attached

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

Dollar stores sell singles

No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 11 points 12 hours ago

They live alone, why have a pie server if you are just gonna eat it yourself?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I made a cake last night to get rid of a few eggs. Realized I am slipping back into batchelor life when I just put the whole thing on a plate, put one utensil on it, And put the whole thing back in the fridge. Healthy.. probably not .. any of it. But not having to look for a clean utensil every time is nice. The sad part is it was a spoon I grabbed, not because I thought it would double for ice cream if I wanted some... But because it was closer

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

As long as it isn't a sink full of nasty dishes, and a PC surrounded by plates, cups, and empty cans, you are good.

For when that special someone comes over. Of course if you have a special someone you'd have 2 sets of silverware. Okay I see the point.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

They are more likely to be just eating the whole pie in one sitting, too.

I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can't have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.

[-] MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Been travelling in an RV for a while now. Family of 3. Have 3 forks, 2 knives (because adults cut the kid's food) and 4 plates since you need somewhere to put food off the BBQ that isn't someone's plate. It's glorious. So easy to clean up.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

This is the way. Friends think I really like this one bowl. Truth is I like an empty sink, so I force myself to wash it by only owning one bowl.

You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

OP is a fancy one with their actual silverware. When i was a bachelor, it was box of plastic forks, box of plastic spoons, and box of plastic knives.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago

Saving up for singular silverware would probably save you money in the long run

[-] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 hours ago

it's not even silver, more like stainless steel around here.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Same here. My poitn being you can get a fork knife and spoon for under 5 bucks. Saves on the single use cutlery.

[-] randombullet@programming.dev 8 points 14 hours ago

I usually get them from take out places or the cafeteria. Never bought any single use items during my bachelor years.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago
[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

And less trash to take care of.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 27 points 19 hours ago

Knife should be on the left and the spoons on the right. Fite me.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 19 points 18 hours ago

You think I'm worried about fighting someone that has to reach over the gentry silverware to grab the knife?
