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 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!

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

As a household that has thankfully many drawers, we unfortunately have more than one.

Every drawer is a junk drawer when I'm around 😏
