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.

    Almost every home has a junk drawer or other junk container. Mine has multiple.

    All that being said, I don’t think I’ve seen a drawer as confusing as this.

    Of course, everyone has this drawer. It’s called a junk drawer. Where else would you put this crap. What planet are you living on?

    Remove the scale, electronics don’t belong in the misc food prep and niche baking implements drawer. Once you do that you’ll easily recognize it as the food prep and niche baking implements drawer. The scale goes on a shelf, or in a cabinet next to the mixer/food proc/salad spinner.

    That’s essentially the “overflow” drawer. The only solution is to have less stuff… Or just live with it like i do lol

    There isn’t a house in existence that doesn’t have one of these. All houses that exist have one of these by celestial mandate.

    There are probably houses out there somewhere that do not have one of these, but I have never encountered one. They appear with the same frequency as 10 million dollar lottery tickets.

    I’d be more inclined to call this a misc utensils drawer. I have one just like it, with many of the same items, but I also have a true “junk drawer”, but it has anything but utensils in it. Like, batteries, screws, magnifying glass, fire starters, a deck of cards, etc. All of the shit that ends up near the kitchen that doesn’t have a whole space dedicated to similar things, finds a home in the junk drawer.

    Every family has this drawer.

    Every single person does not have this drawer.

    Every child has this for every drawer.
