Somehow overnight our little spoons spontaneously organised themselves into perfect order.

I can confirm neither of us did this on purpose, as you can see our usual cutlery storage method is just "throw it in the drawer it's fine".

What's the word for the opposite of entropy?

After standing staring at the sight for a bit, we realised they may have done this to draw our attention to how badly the drawer needs cleaning. So it's ok, you don't need to ;)

Left handed person! My MIL puts the cutlery away like this and its marginally annoying when picking one up as a righty (although the benefit of her emptying the dishwasher outweighs the annoyance).

Oh I'm a lefty and put the cutlery away am I imposing some kind of cutlery hell on my normie right handed family?

If you're right handed, you'll naturally pick up a spoon by the bowl if they're like OP's image.

away am I imposing some kind of cutlery hell

Probably, but they should do it themselves if they are going to complain

Hehe I am left-handed and live alone but I’ve noticed guests hesitate when they open my cutlery drawer. Spoons aren’t such an issue, but there’s a little element of danger when a right-handed person goes to retrieve a knife 🤣 (My chopping knives are arranged horizontally like OP’s spoons.)
