Someone is stealing all the forks.

Start with the Asians. They may be too cheap to buy their own silverware, so there's a good chance they're taking it from the office.

Do you live in Airdrie by chance?

Haha, no. I live on the north edge of Calgary, somewhat close to Airdrie...

We have the same problem at my school. You can leave Iphones and money on your desk unattended and not ever have to worry about someone taking them but leave forks in the cupboard downstairs and it's like gold.

Chopsticks are a superior option to forks for crouton wranglery.

You should buy knorks. Knorks would be fairly difficult to steal I would think.

Am I the only one that is a little creeped out by the "shared office forks". I watch the guys I work with and how they wash their forks after eating, i'm positive I never want to use the same fork they do.

Bring your own and take it home, you have already brought your salad in a container I assume and take said container home? why not the fork too?

My office has an issue with spoons. I suspect it's because we're all paid so poorly, that the one meal we don't eat at the soup kitchen, still happens to be soup. Any chance I get to collect plastic spoons, I take it.

My office has a dishwasher. I assume it does a good enough job washing the forks/plates etc.

It's weird though, my office has been slowly losing their forks too. Not the spoons, no knives, just the forks.

Probsbly not us because we use the far more versatile chopsticks.

I'm only saying that because my parents used to take them from the airlines when they still used silverware.

But I agree, you can do quite a bit with a pair of chopsticks

I'm so offended that I'm going to beat you with my stack of disposal chopsticks...

Might be tough with shared forks, but if the person is taking lots of them they should have a lot more on their hands than normal people.
