To annoy their wives I think. That or laziness and just throwing them in however you grabbed them willy nilly.
That's sexist. My wife does this too annoy me, I'm a male dancing on the edge to OCD.
How do you put the freak utensils like the avocado slicer and the garlic smusher? How do you orient your lemon squeezie?
I need rusty spoons to give to Salad Fingers.
who gives a shin?
I don't even know which way is up. I point my forks and knives down in case someone trips and falls onto them.
Forks up, knives down.
..while yall motherfuckers rinse to this
Everything with the handle down (only sharp things the other way around to reduce the risk of cutting yourself) is the recommended way by most manufacturers.
anything sharp enough to damage the dishwasher bins or a person should be hand washed. unless you're running a food service operation and have to use the dishwasher (the appliance).
I am pleased to tell you that I have successfully hurt my finger by accidentally grabbing a children's fork too fast (and miscalculated it's length). It hurt and bled.
I'm sure I could do the same with a spoon of I tried hard enough (:
Everything points up, except things that are too sharp.
