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

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

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
In some Europe countries the all Chinese shops offer that option

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
You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
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.
Saving up for singular silverware would probably save you money in the long run
I usually get them from take out places or the cafeteria. Never bought any single use items during my bachelor years.

I use plastic plates, drink directly out of the tap, have one set of chop sticks and my kitchen knife is the pocket knife I carry everyday.
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.
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.
I just recently got rid of 90% of my silverware and over half my plates and bowls for this very reason
