Cutlery Drawer Layout

[ciallkennett]

Every person's cutlery drawer is different, and I hate going to people's house and naturally picking up a knife from a section where they keep spoons.

So, how do you organise your cutlery drawer from left to right?

a) Knife, Fork, Spoon
b) Knife, Spoon Fork
c) Fork, Spoon, Knife
d) Fork, Knife, Spoon
e) Spoon, Knife, Fork
d) Spoon, Fork, Knife

Personally, it's spoon, fork, knife in the house I'm currently at. No idea why, and frankly, don't care why. At my mum's house it's fork, knife, spoon. Force of habit causes me to continuously pick up the wrong utensils...

I'm used to seeing spoon, fork, knife.

But I'm not an OCD so can get used to other arrangements.

 

[Ollie]

At the moment mine goes Knifes Forks, Spoons.


I think.

 

[EnigmaHyena]

Knives, forks, spoons.

But I usually mix them up just to annoy people. And it works.

 

[Hixee]

At home:

Fork, Knife, Spoon


At uni:

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

I don't have a drawer for them at home or at uni...

At home they're all organised into wee boxes from IKEA on the tabletop...

At uni they're currently sitting in a Disneyland Paris mug in my cupboard... For I am awesome...

 

[A-Kid]

There should be an option for "any slot for a fork, spoon or knife will do / shoving it in any slot".

Because thats what our draw looks like.

 

[jokerman]

My regualr cutlery is spoon fork knife. The good cutlery is knife fork spoon.

Fux dis sheet.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Knife, fork, spoon, then more knives and a pumpkin cutter.

 

[Tom]

Spoon, knife, fork......nobody else selected it on the poll so I feel left out.....

 

[Martyn]

At uni:

Haha! That's amazing. But it angers me.

an OCD

Fairly sure "OCD" isn't a noun.

a pumpkin cutter.

A what? Surely that's just a knife? What makes it applicable only to pumpkins?


Anyway... enjoy this visual representation of my cutlery drawer:

O- N - P

S - E - N

teaspoons

They're all on hangers on the work top. The order is pretty irrelevant as it's very easy to see where they are and there's only about 4 inches between the left and right sides. It's not going to kill anyone moving a little more to get one.

I also deliberately re-arrange the order as and when I feel like it, just to stop any kind of OCD behaviour developing in the house, and to wind up anyone with OCD

I use my cutlery drawer for keeping severed fingers of guests who complain about my cutlery arrangement.

 

[nadroJ]

My arrangement is called 'student' and it consists of various pieces of cutlery, all of different shapes, sizes and brands, along with other such items as random piece of string, key to nothing and cheap can-opener that doesn't work, all bunged into a drawer together.

It seems to work quite well for me, I don't know about anyone else on here but I find it quite easy to distinguish a knife from a fork without the aid of this thing you call 'organisation'. Do you all use it to co-ordinate your underwear too, make sure you don't end up with a sock on your willy and pants on your feet?

 

[Ben]

I don't have a cutlery drawer, it just lies about in my cupboard along with plates, squash and cookie mixture.

 

[walker1104]

Knife, fork, spoon. Then teaspoons along the bottom.

 

[CMonster]

Knife, spoon, fork. Then bigger serving spoons and forks.

I actually got up to check when I saw this. :lol:

 

[Ian]

L-R, knives, forks, spoons. Tea spoons underneath.

Here's a photo of the cutlery drawer at work.

 

[thx]

In my student halls/corridor, it's spoon, fork, knife. I think it's a pretty good system, strangely enough I'm not overly fussed about the order, yet I wouldn't like them to be lying around randomly in heaps in a drawer, like in the photo Hixee posted.

 

[Gavin]

Fairly sure "OCD" isn't a noun.

Yes, it is.
