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.

It happens sometimes.

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.

That's one beautiful teaspoon

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.

He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

It's all he needs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Been there done that

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dude I'm 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it's up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I can understand that. That's normal. But a 19 year old eating alone in their room so much, and collecting all of the dishes in the household, so the family has none and has to actively seek them out and ask for them is what's odd to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like that 19 year old isn't poorly raised. They definitely are poorly raised. I just meant to say I'm not too far off myself. 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

HAHA TEENAGERS AMIRITE

He never has dishes

Is your friend Bill Dauterive?

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)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I'm not fuckin around.
