People Who Can't Use a Sugar Bowl.
Is it just me, or is this a concept that some (infinitely pathetic) people just find beyond them?

I had to turf out my flatmate recently - true, he lost his job, but the thing that tipped me over the edge? His complete failure to grasp the simple concept of the sugar bowl. The rules are so simple:

1) Use spoon in sugar bowl to add sugar to tea/coffee.
2) Put DRY spoon BACK in sugar bowl.
3) Use another, different spoon to stir tea/coffee.
4) IMPORTANT: do not use the same spoon for all 3 steps! Do not use the sugar spoon to stir your drink, and then put the wet spoon back in the fucking bowl, you fucking sub-ape cantaloupe. It wastes sugar, and if I wanted to cover my cereal with great irregular sugary clumps of rotting tea/coffee, I'd dig up Dame Barbara Cartland, cover her corpse in cornflakes, and have a gnaw on her legs. Argh!


He also couldn't work out the purpose of a dish-washer.

I've emptied it, its ready for used plates/cutlery to be stored within, why are you still throwing your dirty knives & spoons in the sink? Getting some kind of perverse thrill out of making me fish your slimy old forks out of the plug-hole?

Truly, I wonder that he left my flat alive.

Alternatively, dont store a spoon in the sugar bowl.
Just use the same spoon to put sugar in and stir.

The dishwasher thing I can agree with. The cutlery basket has different areas for a reason. Compartmentalise your cutlery, then you can grab a handful of forks/spoons at once, instead of having to pick out individual items.

A different section for cutlery?
Now thats posh.

Though personally I prefer sorting out my cutlery when its clean, rather than when its encrusted with day-old food.
