Science, bitch!

Ahh-HAH!
vindicates my observation, making an anecdotal story real.

Break room culture is - I think - universal, across countries and demographies.

Half eaten lunch languishing for three months in the very back at the bottom shelf in the fridge? Check.
The somewhat deeper bottom drawer will have some utensils rattling about, never having been, nor will they ever be, used: colander, baking pan. Check.
A passive aggressive printed piece of paper, taped over the sink: Your mother doesn't work here!!!! Check.

Also, could someone have Ratty kabong Borborygmi for me? I feel it needs to be done.

Confession: I melted all Solfy's plastic spoons down to make a new and improved kabonger. It's a little-known fact that spoon plastic is one of the most sanitary kabonging materials, as hair product and brain matter wash right off.

I feel better now.

Smarty, did you happen to give away some food to a neighbor or family member, expecting them to give the plate back? Or could a missing plate be in your fridge or freezer?

I think the plastic spoons get thrown away accidently. I think that's where my metal ones went. Along with the ones that get chewed up in the garbage disposal. It's always spoons that are in the garbage disposal!

Please to be careful, as plastic kabongers have been known to harbor a certain amount of elasticity. Please kabong with your right hand or left hand far away from your shoulder to avoid re-kabongs.

A re-kabong once boinged Giraffe's sister smack bang on her hind quarters, causing much noise and head scratching among the prophets.

Rebo: Nope, I learned my lesson on that one decades ago so I keep those cheap dollar store plates around for any sort of dodgy usage, including taking food to neighbors. If they don't come back, who cares?

The mystery remains...mysterious lol.

Your mind could be playing tricks. Have you checked your house's carbon monoxide levels?

[Solfy]

I have not been finding scary notes I've left to myself regarding spoons.

We do have functioning CO detectors. I'm all about safety, especially in an old house.
