My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?

We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.

    I regrettably also have this drawer.

    Attempts at cleaning it usually end up with the drawer now being somewhere else, but it clings to life somehow.

    I think they’re just a fact of life at this point.

    Ours is a little more organized with dividers, but it doesn’t look much better. Everyone I know has a drawer like that. I’d take the scale out and put it on a shelf. Scales are delicate.

    PS, we have the exact same can opener, pizza roller, and grater as you guys.

    Mine is more organised (without dividers, similar stuff simply each has its own space) and still roughly looks like yours.

    What do you mean? This is organized! And I have such a drawer too. This is the collection of slightly large kitchen tools that are not large enough to place them in the cupboard.

    Whether every family has this drawer or not, I wouldn’t know, so I’m not very helpful with settling your argument. I’d bet, every family has this drawer though. Because everyone must have those kinds of utensils, and there’s no other logical place to store them. Some people hang some of them on the wall, but even then, there are some that cannot be hung on the wall. Those go into this drawer.

    We have a miscellaneous drawer of utensils and kitchen tools. Also another drawer of non-kitchen stuff that’s just “the kitchen drawer” - screwdrivers, pliers, paper clips, rubber bands, magnets, ruler, magnifying glass…, not exactly “organized” but randomly deposited in compartments of an old generic drawer organizer so at least it’s not just a pile. We just call it “the drawer”.

    These misc drawers are the best way to worship anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers (also luck).

    This is not a junk drawer, there are no coins or condiment packets.

    This looks to be a kitchen accessories drawer although I’m unsure why you have a pill cutter in there.

    Yes. I’ve tried to sort it, but there are too many small things that don’t go anywhere else, so they are dumped together.

    Trust me, that one is fine

      Mine looks way worse. I would post a picture but it refuses to open. Must be the potatoe masher doing its thing again
