Ii it strange? Is there a name for this?

I don't like odd numbers of crockery and cutlery. If one piece from a set of 4, 6, or 8 breaks or goes missing, I always feel the need to buy a whole new set.

I'm not a hoarder.

I usually just break the other too, problem solved. I hate having a single sock that definitely does not have a partner 😂

@MartinTheFirst my thoughts exactly. I want to break one more so I get even number things. If not, I can donate them coz there are some people who don't care if some things are missing. With socks we just throw the odd ones out.

@GunFinger well with utensils it's different. If i fork breaks, i throw away the worst looking matching knife, since they come in a pair. But a spoon? No pairs with those. Can you have an odd number of spoons?

@MartinTheFirst how does a fork break? Do you use them as can openers or door stoppers?😂
