Is it normal to like to buy used kitchenware for this reason?
I buy used kitchenware (plates, bowls, utensils, etc) for a few reasons.
The reasons are: I like vintage items, I can get a great deal on high-quality items, I find a lot of unique items not found in stores, and here's the reason which I think is the "not normal" one....
Ready?
I like to think this stuff was used for something gross or is tied to something "bad". Like someone puked in it, peed in it, or shoved it up their ass....stuff like that. Or sometimes I like to think that the previous owner is dead and I have some random deceased people's things.
