I like having knives, forks, spoons left to right as that is how I say it “grab a knife and fork”.
I am staying in an Airbnb and they have the spoons separating the knives and forks and wonder if this is in insane or maybe I am the minority/insane one?
I’m with you OP, left to right ~ Knives ~ Forks ~ Spoons~ plus the tea spoons go in their own auxiliary area.
