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.
Every family has this drawer
Yes, every household in the developed world has a drawer like this. It’s for things that you hardly need or never need, but might do, one day, probably (not).
Why it bothers me: in a more sane world, this stuff would be shared. Every community would have a junk tool shed - not every household of 4 people, or 2 people, or (increasingly) one person. It’s reminiscent of that drill statistic: the average electric drill is used for 7 minutes in its lifetime. This is madness. Our planet is overflowing with junk. As a species we need to be smarter.
The misc tools drawer? I have one that’s overflowing. My parents have multiple drawers and cabinets of this.
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.
Every family has this drawer
What?
Families only have one drawer like this?? How do they manage?
3d printed some Gridfinity stuff and fixed a couple of these drawers. The rest are under way.
These misc drawers are the best way to worship anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers (also luck).

Yes. Most kitchens have a junk drawer. This is often where the household hammer is kept, among other random things.
Compromise in marriage means not organizing everything to death and allowing your partner to maintain some jumbled spaces. A junk drawer is organized, out of sight chaos that still maintains a certain logic.
We’ve also floated the idea that not having a junk drawer in the kitchen may be a marker of psychopathy. I jest, but also not. Just know, junk drawers are common, diverse, and almost as expected as silverware drawers.
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.
I had way too many of these drawers 🫠
Team junk drawer. Where else do you keep your used batteries?
In a special box for hazzard waste?!
But they might still have some charge left that you might need for that particular remote that can run on low charges longer than others in case you run out of actual fresh batteries because you forgot to stock up on actual ew ones. Maybe. Which probably won’t actually happen in the next decades, but it might, and boy, will you be sad then, having thrown those valuables away!
I don’t get why it bothers you, well, maybe it’s not a serious disagreement idk.
