I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.

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!

Excuse me, it goes: Fork->Knife->Spoon->tea spoon.
I don't know what this is but it's certainly not in keeping with the lord's way.
I think you've swapped knife and fork…
Right chopstick -> left chopstick -> porcelain soup spoon -> packets of unused plastic foldable forks that came with the instant noodles

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

premature optimisation
It happens sometimes.
See, if I had that guys place you would find these 4 utensils in the sink because I'm a monster
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.

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.

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.
It's all he needs
You cannot convince me this man is not a serial killer.
I have 4 of each just in case I don't feel like doing the dishes today

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 actually love this. It’s clean organized and simplified!
Been there done that
He never has dishes
This is me. It's perfectly fine until something, somehow, goes missing.
Is your friend Bill Dauterive?
I mean it at least forces you to do your dishes
That's one beautiful teaspoon
