Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[Empty It]

Those plastic tabs on bottles of juice that keep the lid attached, a solution to a problem that never existed, nobody was just throwing bottle caps away.

4 x dessert spoons and 4 x teaspoons. I had no idea there was any difference between dessert spoons and tablespoons BTW.

Fucking cutlery nazis, man. Look at this shit. I need a lie down.

So what's the difference? Because none of the six spoons on your graphic are labelled as dessert spoons?
For avoidance of doubt my spoons come in three sizes. Big spoon, wee spoon, and babyspoons which now get used the same as wee spoons but used to have childrens characters on the handle.

Those aren't my spoons - I wouldn't be seen dead buying such bland flatware. The difference between mine appears to be roughly tablespoon to soup spoon, and teaspoon to five o'clock teaspoon (whatever that is). Just close enough that you don't notice until you hold two back-to-back, then it's all you can think about.

I miss the days of opening the cutlery drawer to find it full of wee rubber-handled spoons decorated with Tigger and Lightning McQueen

The picture showed differences between six styles of spoon, but none of them were dessert spoons. I was wondering the difference between dessert spoons and tablespoons. Wikipedia gave me this;

Serving spoon - tablespoon - dessert spoon - teaspoon.
Measurement wise,  1 dessertspoon = 2 teaspoons
We eat cake with the babyspoons, so I guess they're our dessert spoons.

You'll need to narrow it down a bit.

As you're from Clacks, which size is your favourite spoon to burn?

Turns out my tablespoons aren't tablespoons (or table-spoons! Wiki the hyphenated cutlery if you're bored).  They're desert spoons.

My serving spoons are table spoons.  Where will this madness end.

 

Imagine the embarrassment if you'd gone all the way to the desert with the wrong spoons.

Dessert spoons are what you eat your custard/creamed rice/etc. etc. with. Tablespoons are what you use when helping yourself to a communal Chinese/Indian etc. dish, transferring it from the bowl in the centre to your own plate. Each diner has his own dessert spoon, natch, while there's only the one tablespoon which everybody uses in turn.

Cup Winner's Cup and Super Cup, I'd guess.

(roughly equates to a C cup)
