I'm staying with some friends and all of their spoons are this ridiculous shape that is clearly designed for the mouth of someone like Steven Tyler. I may have to reconsider our friendship.
There's a reason spoons are narrow on the sides.

thats a teaspoon, dude
How did you get it that wrong? Firstly, it's not "a", there's several. Secondly, they're tablespoons.
You somehow managed to be more wrong than OP, which is unbelievable.
you really got me there man! I mean I've met some pretty smart and cool people in my travels but holy fuck you made me look like a complete idiot and I am absolutely in awe of you.
You put a spoon that big in a sugar bowl and drop it in your tea and you'll have the kind of crazily sweet iced tea they have in the American South except hot.
if theyre quite large then its a tablespoon
The point is that these are their only sort of spoons.
i feel you. its wack. ive never liked soup spoons. i eat cereal and soup with a teaspoon
I bought cutlery a few years ago and decided to get exactly what I wanted, not what was standard, and I not only ended up with golden-colored, wood handled cutlery that everyone else thought was hideous, I only got fully round spoons, in both teaspoon size and standard soup spoon size.
I loved that cutlery. My old roommate… gratefully tolerates it. I just have a giant mouth and never realized it could be an issue, but even the small ones were surprisingly unpopular
is this your spoon? are you the friend in OPs post?
Nah, there’s no wood paneling!
I have always done the same, actually.
Then eat soup or eat somewhere else?
Here's a wild thought: You can choose to pick up only a little bit of sugar. No one's forcing you to fill up the whole spoon like a digger on a JCB lol.
Or if you were Bob "17 sugars with me tea" Mortimer.
