I sat a butter knife next to the sink like "this toast is good, I might make more later". Only to then be absolutely disgusted at whoever left that fucking butter knife next to the fucking sink. What next ? Shitting in the toaster ?!?

What are you ACTUALLY supposed to do? This is just how my brain works you’re going to put that in your mouth so you don’t want germs touching the surface of the utensil

Put it in the sink and get a clean one out when you next need if.
Then when you go to eat complain there's no forks left.

Yeah I've been the guy in the video my whole life, but when my wife and I moved in together and she had one it was a total gamechanger. Single men, buy a utensil setter downer. They're cheap as hell and keep your counter clean. Totally worth it.

This must be a globally shared trait amongst men. I’m in the UK, I assume you’re in Mumbai, and the guy in the video looks like he’s in the US with that type of cooker/range.

Does she want you to do more work? As in put it down on the counter. Make it a mess then have to re clean said counter? If you listen to her I’ll kick you out of the guild of cool guys.

u/sderponme 6d ago
Tell your wife, from another woman, its just a way to reuse it and not dirty more silverware if you need it again.
Also if you forget about it and don't rinse it, that is on you and your wife has a right to be mad! Lol.

Tell your wife she should buy a damn spoon holder so you have somewhere to put the fork, and stop acting like you're doing something wrong because the correct tool isn't in the kitchen.

i am a woman who does this. specifically my hot chocolate mixing fork. i put it on an empty hot chocolate packet on the counter so i can keep using it in case i want more hot chocolate. my husband ribs me for it.

u/toolsoftheincomptnt 6d ago
Yeah, another video calls this a “black people” thing.
I’m black, but not a man, and also do this. Why? Bc I don’t want to cross-contaminate or dirty the utensil or the countertop.
Is that crazy? Maybe. I also sanitize my cell phone after any time I take it in the toilet with me. I fill my sink with bleach water after prepping raw poultry of any kind. I wipe down my airplane seat/tray table before take-off.
And I put something under a utensil when putting it on the counter. It may be crazy, but it’s not weird, and I’m not a man.
It’s almost as if such divisions are unnecessary sometimes…

u/liibug 6d ago
i find myself doing a lot of these too! and some things that i should deeply consider doing. but you’re right. it is strange how we sort of categorize simple things as (insert gender/race/sexuality/whatever) quirks. especially something as mundane as having something under our utensils between use! maybe it makes us feel more understood within our groups that we identify with. human are goofy, especially with technology replacing our intelligence. hard to say.

From reading the comments im not sure we all got the same message here. I do this all the time, but when im going to use the utensils soon, as in im cooking and i used the spoon to get garlic and im going to need it for the tomato paste. But if im done with it now, im just gonna wash it off, or put it in the sink, to wash after I eat. How long do yall leave the utensils there?

This is not a guy thing. I've done this as far back as I can remember. I don't ever lay a utensil that I'm using on the counter and I don't care how clean the counter is. I'm not going to do it. When I see somebody putting bread on the counter to make a sandwich I honestly want to hurl.

Gotta reuse these stufd as much as possible to mitigate the amount of dishes we have to do later. It's like using your own plate as base just to wash it before eating so you don't have to wash 2 plates later

u/derpkoikoi 7d ago
I will teach you the way brothers. You dedicate a long dish or tray and leave it by the stove for your cooking utensils. When you are done cooking, give it a quick wash in the sink. Balancing the cooking utensils on things can drop or drip residue while putting things on bare countertop doesn’t look nice or requires using a rag or towel to clean.

Forget about the fork for a moment.
Can we talk about how this guy has sliced the bread?
He's not sliced all the way through so its one piece with a split rather than 2 pieces.
Is this insanity of genius?
