Nah, it's not with the others.
Mine are a whole category of forks and spoons. I want my forks and spoons to have a completely flat underside with rounded corners. The underside should not be concave because it makes the edges of the fork or spoon too sharp and dig into my finger bones too much. A convex underside puts too much weight onto the center of the surface making it uncomfortable for my middle finger then as well. Oh, and they have to be completely smooth with no texture because I don't like rough textures rubbing against my fingers while I eat.

That is an ugly fucking fork.
…wait this isn’t a neurotypical thing?
Chaotic neutral.
In my previous house we had utensil fairies who willfully would hide all the forks or spoons around the house to thwart our use of cutlery for eating. They fixated on one or the other, so our draw would be flush with forks but lacking in spoons or vice versa.
Eventually I just gave up and started supplying new infusions of new flatware. As the internet matured (and with the help of girlfriends in the restaurant industry) I'd find restaurant suppliers who'd set me up with just spoons or just forks, rather than full dining sets.
After seventeen years of this, I left, with the war for cutlery ongoing.
... If I had this my home would become difficult to burgle as I'd have invested in a set of security cameras. I'd have to know where they go when they disappear.
It fucking sucks I don't even know why I just hate it with a passion
When I was in undergrad, living in dorm... We used to throw forks at the bulletin board for fun, trying to make them stick. I recommend this as the ultimate fate for your unruly fork.

The thin one! I need my fork to have some heft to it so I don't think I'm sticking a galvanized aluminum abomination in my mouth.
I have a whole set that I HATE. I put them in backward so I don't pick one up by accident.
I got rid of the fork I hated, but I have a spoon I love.
my forks are okay but ive got some dodgy spoons
I've got some great spoons, but there's that one spoon that just sucks.
oh yeah there totally are good spoons and bad spoons
For the longest time I had a spoon which literally had sharp edges. I don't know why I didn't throw it away. No idea where it is now.

my parent's wedding cutlery in the form of like 10 knives are these, the fancy curved grips piss me off.
if there are only wedding knives left, i'd rather clean a dirty regular knife. the rectangular grips are way better.
I have a fork that I can't stand. The prongs are completely flat, but it still has the bend between the handle and prongs. I hate holding it
My forks are all the same except the ones my gf brought when she moved in. They have flames on them and I'm jealous.
Is your girlfriend Guy Fieri?
1st fork on the left - I have 1
4th fork from the left - I have 1, this is my favorite fork
Middle fork- I have a handful
2nd to last fork on the right - I have a handful, decent forks.
Not pictured - that piece of garbage that I have no idea where it came from, that's somehow simultaneously too small to fit in with the other big forks, and too big to fit in with the small forks. And to top it off, its shape makes it terrible at twirling spaghetti. I seriously don't know why I still have that piece of junk.
Seeing the commonality of this subject I'm almost thinking I should get a shelf and a few small object display cases (ex those used to hold signed baseballs) and have a shelf of shame for bad objects.

My roommate added a fork to my silverware drawer. It was probably thrown away.
Why do you have my forks? I thought I had a very unique set.
Fortunately, trash can is nearby
