How did that happen - seems dinner forks are disappearing Login/Join

I’m shaking my head. It appears that about ½ of our dinner folks have vanished. Not sure when – but over the last few weeks. How does that happen? LOL

I’m wondering if the socks that disappear in the washing machine/dryer are meeting up with the forks that disappeared in the dishwasher.

Do invisible aliens visit and collect forks in the middle of the night?

Not aliens, or silverware gnomes. Instead, check your teenager's bedroom. They are known to hoard dishes in there.

If you don't have a teenager, check the neighbor's teenager's room.


If there are no teenagers anywhere around, tell your wife to pay closer attention when she's tipping the remainder of her dinner into the trash can after a meal.

Enjoyed your response. All good thoughts. Unfortunately, no teens around. She'll say it's me that toss the forks. LOL

If the aliens are picking them up in the middle of the night, why must they also be invisible?

That's how I stopped the disappearance of dedicated butter knives from our house.

Ha, this hits close to home. I ask my wife what's going on with the bottoms and she gives me that look (you married guys know the one) and says it must be me. That's the time to quit the subject because it's only going to get ugly here on out. Eek

Same thing here. I have absolutely no idea where they went.

I found out that I was not the first person to wander into Bed Bath & Beyond and ask for help buying a dozen or so forks.

Actually saw a dinner fork that was in a tire shop that had punctured the tread and sticking out the side wall.. Hope that the tire owner had a good road hazard warranty. ..................... drill sgt.

We are currently running low on teaspoons at our house. My wife has had some recent health issues that she is recovering from. I just don’t have the heart to mention it. I expect that one weekend morning there will only be one left in the drawer with both of us having a bowl of cereal poured.

Funny, my salad forks disappeared. Have no idea where they took off to. I only have one of the original set left. Maybe they ran off with your dinner forks!

When I divorced, I bought the standard bachelor pad fork, knife, and spoon set. I started noticing they were disappearing. Turns out, every time my ex-girlfriend went home, she stole a piece of silverware to throw away when she stopped to get gas.

One piece at a time......

That's one hell of a slow play, "Girl, I'm not gonna slash this man's tired or key his car, I'm taking 1 piece of silverware every so often until he slowly goes crazy"
