When you put your teaspoons away, which way do you make them face?
For these purposes, I'm saying that the way they're facing is determined by the way the spoon bit is facing, not the handle.

To the leftOnly because I’m right handed so when picking up the spoon from the drawer the handle is on the right side.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

I'm not botheredI'd say that you are extremely fortunate if your life is not beset by such severe problems that your mind is free to think about tea spoons! I like my tea spoons sparkling clean, stacked neatly on top of each other, since the question has been asked!

To the leftOn the left when I put them away, any which way when my husband does.

To the leftTeaspoons always make me think of honey. I think it’s a Mary Poppins thing.

To the rightI'm left handed, so having the handle on the right and spoon on the left makes most sense to me!Online Community Coordinator

To the leftI'm right handed so find it easier to pick them up with the handle on the right.
As a contamination OCD sufferer, I'd be far more bothered by someone having touched my spoons than having put them away incorrectly. -
None of the above really, ours are vertical rather than horizontal. The spoony part points away with the handle closest to you as you open the draw.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

To the leftBeing right handed, the handle of the spoon must (yes, for me, must, not should) be on the right. Cutlery is normally stated as "knives, forks and spoons"; my cutlery is set, from the right, knives, forks then spoons. An "Andy tantrum" is initiated if someone puts them back in the wrong order.
