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.
Our catch-all drawer has screwdrivers, pliers and enough other tools to rebuild an engine, plus office supplies.

We have a space for that in our cutlery drawer, as well as a basket of miscellanea in a shelf where it doesn’t matter if they get dusty.
My mom has one of these, but we (my and my brother) don’t live with her anymore. We (me and my gf) don’t have one.
You might like a doom box: “didn’t organise only moved”. Put it in sight but make sure it’s small enough that you can put it away when guests are over.
just take the pizza cutter out
You have the OCD strain of autism and so do your parents.
Yours is actually much cleaner, but you cannot escape the drawer. We are all the drawer. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Yes, every family has this drawer, and every family also has a member who despises this drawer and fruitlessly reorganizes, labels and makes it easy for everyone else but it takes one load of dishes and…
What were we talking about again. Oh yeah, that’s normal.
I have a knife drawer with 2/3 of these objects in it and a measuring tool drawer witj 1/3 of these items. My junk drawer contains literally nothing in this drawer.
