I accidentally left my teaspoon in the office kitchen when I washed my dishes the other night. I didn't realise until I went to eat my lunch just now. Went to the kitchen, and it was still there! Three days later!
I don't know what the odds of a teaspoon vanishing in an office kitchen are on any single day, but they must be over 50% across three days. I was lucky!

This is glorious. Thank you 🤣
You're lucky, at my work teaspoons and spoons are a commodity here.
They get replaced on a regular basis and within weeks they all go missing.
I've had random utensils join my cutlery drawer. Nope. Get out.
I've seen things be in office kitchen sinks for months. I consider work sink cleanliness a measure of how much I want to work at a place. Or maybe it reminds me of gross share housing and gets on my nerves.
