I hate

When you meet a right-handed person who does this.

You have a cutlery drawer in your dining table underneath each place setting?

I’m a leftie so it looks perfectly normal…except tea spoons are pointing the wrong way (but so are mine, go figure).

Naturally tablespoons should be middle, forks on left, knives on right. Teaspoons can fend for themselves.

I think those are dessert spoons not table spoons

I’m not sure I can see a problem. Knife, fork and spoon. Knives, forks and spoons. So they’re in the right order in the drawer divider. Teaspoons are the way round that a righty would naturally drop them in the drawer and therefore the right way round for a righty to grab them. Knives are facing the wrong way for my OCD but whatever that’s me.

You could do with hoovering the shite out the drawer divider though.

Might want to check for unwanted lodgers as well. Cutlery tends to be clean when put in the divider, so that detritus is either from the drawer top, from users’ hands, from random crumbs, or from something dropping it behind…

But why does it matter what order they're in before you carry them somewhere else?

Doesn't everyone just grab a fistful and sort it out at the table?

looks pretty filthy

kinky

Hello Dave, we need to do XYZ in project A because of reasons and we need to put that in this report. Now explain to me in your own words what you have learned from this conversation

Just coming back to the “does that make sense?” chat. Dave could get killed in my example, but he’s still a professional. Or was, until he misunderstood and put his foot where he shouldn’t.

but he’s still a professional.

His profession is clearly writing exam questions for business studies or English comprehension. So this seems acceptable to me.

Otherwise he should rightly expect to be guillotined in the print room.

Does that make sense?

Mini supermarkets...spend a lot of time in Herne Hill (gf lives there) and there's a Tesco and Sainsbury's almost side by side but neither has a strong selection of fruit and veg and what is there tends to be wrapped in loads of plastic. The contrast to where I live in Haringey with local independent grocers/supermarkets where you can actually buy ingredients to make a meal...

If it's any consolation, even the full sized Sainsbury's near me in Penge is shit for veg. Almost nothing on the shelves and most of the stuff that is is crap.

Invite gf to move in with you. Never go south of the river again. All good.

I went off the independent shops on Green Lanes after noticing how many customers insisted on squeezing and fondling all the produce before deciding which to buy.

Fruit and veg can be washed at least, loaves of bread not so much.

Need to remove the guard.

how else are you gonna figure out what is not ripe enough, too ripe, just right?

Fruit me up, Scottie!

People just maul the crap out of avocados and the like, because they have no fucking clue how to actually tell if a piece of fruit is ripe or not, endong up knuckle deep, with a wake of soggy fruit bags.

I just buy avocados 3 days or so before I need them. They are still firm obviously and this allows me to control the ripening process through paper bags and the fridge.

I hate it when podcasts and such like use 'for just the price of a cup of coffee' as a signifier of how much of a bargain their patreon is.

In the current climate, I have to think if I can afford a coffee. (I spend irresponsibly on other stuff to be fair).

To be clear. I don't have any objection to patreon style business models in general. If it works for you and you are upfront about what people get for their money, crack on.

False drawers with handles, over dishwashers etc in fitted kitchens.
