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 am proud to say that I don’t have this drawer. I grew up in a house with this drawer and always hated it. Nothing new is added to the kitchen without considering the actual need and anything that goes unused for any length of time is getting reevaluated.

    Could you un max out other areas? Eliminate duplicates elsewhere so things in this drawer could be moved to the newly made space?

      Thank you! People’s willingness and even eagerness to be surrounded by useless crap stresses both me and the earth out. Most of that drawer could be replaced with a knife.

        Seriously! Don’t store shit you don’t actually use and better yet don’t buy it in the first place! And sure, the random gadget is handy that one time per year, but the time saved that one time was completely negated by all the time spent digging through a mess.
