And when they just stare back blankly, then you say “I’m Martine!”

Its a personal habit of mine (mind you husband advises it actually goes by the name of ‘theft’!)
Marimekko finnair serviettes in the Helsinki lounge, ditto Ittala in flight (cutlery/glases) ceramics on Air Portugal & Malta… I better stop lest I get put onto an Interpol database. We (or rather I) once tried to set a complete table for a dinner party of such items 😏

Oh if we are broadening the discussion beyond spoons, I do have some table linen and more than a few blankets.
The EY F blankets are particularly nice.
I also may have an EY F pillow which an FA insisted on stuffing into my carry on after I said how much I liked it..

And Room Service (although I draw the line at packing the trolley)!

Why stop there?
MARTINE said:
Two things
- items from said trolley
- if ever challenged you can say OMG😱I accidently left plate/spoon/insert item here as I fixed myself a coffee whilst enjoying room service

Hmmm, plausible deniability. Did you double in Medicine and Law at uni?

I collected (no pun) a champagne glass from BA Concorde in 1988. Used it to share a bottle of duty free Moet with my very good friend on my 21st (hi Andrea if you’re reading). Still have it… it’s getting used more and more these days. Good times

The current BA F whisky glasses are so nice....fill in the blanks
 
The most I have ever nicked were pens from the hotel and i dont care about the other knick knacks
Though I have wondered How I could nick the Four Seasons Signature mattress.....

Rather than nick stuff, I have donated stuff to hotels before
- old clothes that I was not going to take home
- a microwave from Best buys once.

Think my best haul was accidentally popping two large crystal tumblers full of excellent brandy in my jacket pockets at a Radisson one night.

Ended up giving them (inc the cognac) to a tramp asking for money for a beer. He thought I was some kind of wizard.

I think I posted a ‘guess the airline’ from the spoon image back during covid lockdowns.
Anyone want another round?

I might have the odd one or fifty…

Edit: this was the image from back then, still in my phone camera roll

I had a couple Ansett teaspoons and a salt and pepper set. Still use the salt and pepper set occasionally

Moved 5 times since then and no idea where the spoons are 🥲
