I buy a set of 12 teaspoons
I use them to make drinks and eat yogurts and such.
I then put them in the drawer after cleaning.
One month later
I have 5 spoons.
Bring in forensics, sniffer dogs, and turn over the house. Nothing.
Anyone else have this phenomenon? |

OMG, I had this out will my housemates last night. We have about 40 knives, 3 big spoons and 2 forks. I've bought new cutlery twice in the last 6 months, think boys have a taste for metal fs  |

It is the little monster that lurks behind the fridge and only comes out when nobody is looking. He raids your cutlery drawer, he plunders the laundry bin.
Set a mouse trap for him. |

"dont ask me how but they end up in recording studios up and down the country"
That sounds plausible actually. Like a kind of Mumford & Sons effect? I could see them and their copycat bands playing spoons. |

Before stag offers me up I will own up myself. I have no idea where they go. I now have spoons that I keep at work and one I keep in my bag so I don’t take the ones from home   |

I have a simple system at home . All spoons are kept in a locked specialist spoon cabinet. If you want to use one, you sign the spoon release book, leave a 500 pound deposit and off you go...if the spoon is returned in good condition, your deposit is refunded and signed back in...not had to buy any spoons since 1996... |

In our house they're to be found under the oven, under/behind the fridge, in the garden, under beds, on bookcases, in school bags, down the sofa cushions...
I end up buying a lot of cutlery. Bloody kids. |

Tea spoons vanish a lot at my work. A LOT.
My manager bought 60 in at the weekend. I go back to work tomorrow after three days off and I bet a third have already disappeared. It's one of the ghosts. |

"Tea spoons vanish a lot at my work. A LOT.

I'm convinced so, that or a crack squad of borrowers who need them to melt down and craft some robot to take over the world with.
Or more realistically because people take them home as the ones at home vanish.
It's a never ending cycle. |

Choosing a live alone in solitude to keep all your spoons together is a noble and tough life. Respect |

"Yes. My sock drawer has a time-space portal at the back of it that takes the contents to a far-off planet and brings back ones that belong to other people and don't match mine. "
I thought the time space portal was in the washing machine? |

The clue is yoghurt. A percentage will get thrown away with the yoghurt pots.
I solved this by buying ridiculously expensive teaspoons that I would never contemplate losing. I had to wait until the children left home though. |

"Spoons, socks and hair bobbles disappear into a void in my house.
The tv remote control goes on a daily holiday as well  "
I've given up trying to find one of our remotes, I downloaded an app to control it instead |

Ha ha. I had this but not with teaspoons, with a metal banana hanging thingy. It mysteriously disappeared. Only 2 people at home and neither of us moved it. Bizarre! |

I have just gutted my kitchen and found 3 Tea Spoons 2 Forks and 1 kitchen knife.
Cannot pin the blame on anyone as I live alone.
I gave my daughter a 72pc vintage Viners Mosaic cutlery set complete with Mahogany case a couple of years ago, on a recent child minding mission I looked in the box and found that the number of items has shrunk to 64. I despair. |
