I definitely have silverware I hate, but you know what I hate even more than my least favorite silverware? All but a single wooden spoon we have because they all have rectangular handles instead of being rounded. We have a SINGULAR round handled wooden spoon! Makes me irrationally angry, even if I don't ever show it.
One of the wonderful things about wood is that you can reshape it pretty easily with a nice sharp knife or some sandpaper. Turn those rectangles into octogons by flattening the corners and then sand the whole thing smooth and all your wooden spoons are usable again
Ain't no way my mom would approve of me messing with our wooden spoons like that, but it's a idea I'll keep in mind.
