It’s crazy because I have the same forks (an old Walmart set I got as a housewarming gift) from that set that I’ve had forever but I’m somehow down to like 4 spoons.
I keep telling myself once I lose enough of the forks I’ll just switch over to a nicer set I have but I haven’t gotten there yet.

For me it was forks, and I figured it out! A spoon walks away with food occasionally, but my mother in law was inadvertently throwing them away. Figured it out when she stopped visiting and the leak stopped. She’s a very high energy woman and can ‘move fast and break things’ so-to-speak. I’ve since seen her toss a few utensils at her house or other places.

My grandmother bought me an entirely new set of black utensils because she was throwing them away. She thought I used plastic and would toss away after eating.

Seems these guys are an invasive species. Been taking our socks, cutlery, and container lids for decades.

I love my son to death but whenever he’s home for the summer I end up light on forks. This summer I made him buy his own pack to use with his own money and lo and behold he kept up with every single one. Funny how that works. He wasn’t thrilled when I made him leave the new forks at my house and sent him back to school.

We have one butter knife that doesn’t match the rest of the set and have no idea how it got there. We’ve asked everyone.

My theory is it’s because the food you eat with a spoon is too mobile, extending the range one could roam.

Under my girlfriend’s car seat with all the other dirty dishes from her drive to work. Or at her work.

For the last three years, for Christmas I have asked for, and received forks. 12 forks. Each November there are only three left, and someone has to use the weirdo oyster fork that came with the house but never disappears. It is my belief that a cabal of silverware thieves, all working for Big Utensil, repeatedly pilfer from a majority of households, and then sell them back to the manufacturers. This tactic will change as soon as they figure out how to incorporate planned obsolescence for cutlery, but the science just isn’t there yet.

It’s teaspoons for me, and I stopped drinking tea and coffee ages ago.

If you have kids, definitely in their rooms. Probably under the bed or behind a nightstand or dresser 😒

You need 2x spoons to forks and knives. I called BS when my mother said that and she was right.

My parents used to fuss at my siblings and I about silverware disappearing and we never knew wtf they were talking about. Then years later in adulthood, one night I caught my fork slide off the plate while I was dumping the contents in the trash, and I realized that’s probably what happened all those times as kids, just never realizing.

And it’s always the good-sized spoons and not the big wide ones that you are forced to get as part of the sets.

Recently learned that there are a large large amount of assholes who throw METAL utensils in the trash because they don’t want to wash them. My sister is one of them

You end up loaning them out to people by accident when you give them leftovers

Do you have kids? Our teens would rather throw away dirty dishes than wash them, been a conversation we’ve had
