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.
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.
What?
The misc tools drawer? I have one that’s overflowing. My parents have multiple drawers and cabinets of this.
These misc drawers are the best way to worship anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers (also luck).

Every household has a junk drawer. Be thankful you don’t have more than one.
This is not a junk drawer! This is a cooking utensil (mostly baking) that has no other good place drawer!
The junk drawer got like, loose screws and scotch tape and batteries and scrap paper and whatnot
This guy has it right. That’s basically my mom’s kitchen gadget drawer. Junk drawer has duct tape, 3 leftover zip ties, some loose AA batteries and the big screwdriver everyone seems to have
The takeout chopsticks on the right must have escaped from the junk drawer/ packet drawer, looking for a better life.
We have 3. And they’re packed. But I know what’s in there!
As a household that has thankfully many drawers, we unfortunately have more than one.
Every drawer is a junk drawer when I’m around 😏
Families only have one drawer like this?? How do they manage?
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
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.
This drawer is the solution. To everything…
…except getting something out of the drawer.
What sucks is when you end up super frustrated getting everything to fit, so you rip apart the drawer and put everything back in all nice and wow would you look at that you can fit everything and close it easily!
For two days. Tops.
You’ve lost this one, and if this was a hill you were prepared to die on I would get ready to lose a lot more.
Every family has this drawer
I had way too many of these drawers 🫠
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
