You know, I can't believe how much this is bothering me. It literally makes me want to shake some sense into someone.
At work, someone put plastic spoons in the drawer labeled "forks". The forks are now in the unlabeled drawer which had always harbored spoons. Why there was never a "spoons" label never really bothered me, because there was a drawer labeled "forks" and a drawer labeled "knives". It seemed that by process of elimination, one could determine what was in the third drawer.
Anyway, now it is all topsy-turvy. And it upsets me. Talk about letting little things bother you...
What is worse, in the 2 minutes it would take me to right the crime, I have instead used that time to complain about it here on the SRL Forum.
Need . . . . . more . . . . . sleep.

That's funny, dgan. But it would annoy me, too.
At our office, someone brought in a bunch of old silverware for everyone to use. Very nice. Over time, that silverware would diminish until there were no forks left. Where did it all go? Did people actually steal cheap unwanted silverware? So we were out of forks. Eventually, someone else brought in more and a "policy" had to be instated to wash your silverware and leave it here. Ridiculous. Now, it has been staying but half the time it is in the bottom of the sink, apparently waiting for the Silverware Washing Fairy to some along and do them all.
Me? I brought my own set and keep it in my desk. I wash it myself and no one else uses it.

Well.... As long as they aren't mixing the forks with the knives...  I say you mix up the drawers and put Forks, Knives and Spoons in every drawer, then it won't matter what drawer they open up.  |

Jer, I swear you can find a picture for every thing! And don't worry dgan, spoons, knives, and forks have always been messed up. .. it got so bad in my house that my mother did away with the divider thingy for a while and we just dug around in the drawer for whatever we wanted.  |

Hinata, I guess I do have a picture for everything.  Speaking of which, I snuck into your house and took a picture of that drawer you were talking about.  |

I would recommend you just use sporks and don't worry about separater drawers for forks and spoons.   |

All hail the almighty Spork! And we had the disappearing fork problem at my school. Half way through the school year all but three of the forks would be gone, and do you have any idea how hard it is to eat ramen noodles with a spoon? |

You just have to adjust your way of approaching the peaches.
You have to sneak up on them from the side and then pounce from directly above if you have any hopes of devouring them.

You mean you aren't supposed to just slurp them out of the dish?  |

I thought Peaches came in a can...
in which case a spoon works great - although a spork would work just fine too.
;D

Well, I tried but I couldn't find a picture of sporks from Lord Of The Beans. Some of us got it, and some of us don't.  |
