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.

That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!

He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.
Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it's far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.

In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic
In hindsight I should have used "or" instead of "and".
But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.
If you live alone, though, I'd advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.
I did this for a few years and it was amazing.
as a single dad living with one teenager kid, the two plate strategy was a total game changer.
Sometimes you need more than one teaspoon during a meal? Say if you have soup and tea and hate to eat soup with the tablespoon.
premature optimisation
It happens sometimes.
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)
Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I'm not fuckin around.
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
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.
2 words: Thrift. Shop.
Walmart sometimes sells utensils individually in store, they're loose in bins with a little plastic price barcode attached

You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
It's all he needs
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.
No pie server - what kind of barbarian is this?
They live alone, why have a pie server if you are just gonna eat it yourself?
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

I actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!
Been there done that
He never has dishes
Is your friend Bill Dauterive?
I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes
That's one beautiful teaspoon
That would make sense, it's the only ones iv ever bought so I wouldn't know
