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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

        That’s a nice drawer you’re trying to open there.

        It would be a shame if something were to… Completely stop you!

        Sincerely, potato masher

    Bachelor here, and I do indeed have a random shit drawer. As did my family when I was growing up.

    im afraid that everyone has the forbidden drawer. the drawer that should never be opened except as a last ditch effort to find that one appliance that seems to elude you in every other drawer. you can try to destroy the drawer, but it will always come back in some form.

    Ahh. The good ole junk drawer.

    I’ve had one in every home I’ve lived, even when I was the minor.

    Wife says the same.

    It’s the miscellaneous utensil drawer. We have 2. Up top for common ones like can opener, corkscrew… big one on floor for the lesser used ones like rolling pin, flour sifter, hand mixer…

    If you are arguing over this, don’t. Not worth it because there’s no better answer unless you have a millionaire mansion with a gazillion drawers
