I don't have a single metal fork in my drawer because I have some kinda weird issue where metal cutlery touching each other or my teeth makes me want to die :(
Does it send shivers down your spine? I get that quite a bit.
Yes and it makes my teeth... Itch? But in an almost painful way. I mostly just use chopsticks and bamboo cutlery at home. I ask for plastic at restaurants lol. It sucks but it is what it is
there are certain forks i cant use because i taste them. i inspect eat fork i grab thoroughly
Sometimes I can smell them and it makes my mouth water in the worst way that I can't really explain. They smell disgusting. Don't even get me started on silver cutlery ugh it's so strong and nasty. I also don't like touching loose change too much because it stinks. Metal has been bullying me my whole life lmao
