… eating ice cream directly from the pint.
It always destroys spoons eventually, might as well use ones too sharp, too tinny, too light, the wrong shape, or with just the wrong bend in them already.
Edit: for all the head scratchers out there, it’s a trait some of us neurodivergent folks have. Some forks or spoons or whatever are nice to hold, and some are actually upsetting to use.
Do it. Maybe keep it in your room for a while if you live with your parents and they’re likely to notice and/or care, but if you live with roommates or a partner, you’re just doing maintenance by updating warped, damaged cutlery (unless they’re emotionally attached to this fork, but then just keep it as their personal fork).
It doesn’t have to be a secret, either, unless you live with unreasonable people.
i promise you my partner’s family is very reasonable, we just have issues with coordinating transport.
also we were literally just at the thrift store the other day and i completely forgot to look at forks, although i nearly picked up a fruit bowl/banana hook thing but partner’s mom eventually put it back.
Ah, I did not consider living with a partner’s family, that would probably make me more hesitant to replace things without checking first.
