Mine are two very different steak knives. One's got a plastic handle and really fine serration on the blade and it is terrible at cutting steak. The other is effectively a fucking hacksaw with a wooden handle bolted around the tang and it is a horror to behold. They're for when we need a knife and don't want to involve the good cutlery.

Why do you have my forks? I thought I had a very unique set.

I've been using a lot of disposable items. I also require it from the neckbeards who live downstairs, because it never gets washed otherwise. I've had them throw tantrums about how wasteful it is, but I've been buying paper plates and compostable plastic utensils that can be thrown in a compost pile outside.

This isn't me with a specific utensil, but for things like soup/cereal bowls, cups, measuring cups, and pott and pans all go in a specific area for lack of space reasons. I hate a singular pot because we have a set that fits together nicely and then there's the pot that can't fit with the others but fits perfectly in the smallest pan we have. It's not a big deal, but it's the soul reason I hate it (besides when my dad puts away dishes and puts that pot with the others).
