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.

Looks good

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.

[–] Un4tural@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah it's a thing. I've made wood box type things to separate the drawer out and try to keep it slightly organised.

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

We don't have one like that. Though most of our kitchen is well organized in drawers.

Bench / pastry scraper next to the end grain cutting board on counter (that's how I clean it most often). Microplane and pizza cutter (Italian chef knife) get hung. Funnel covers a teacup protecting it's rare use from excess dust / atomized oils in the kitchen. Garlic press is a waste of money when you have knife skills. -Citrus juicer likewise (cut 1/3 slabs around the core using the geometry to make squeezing efficient).

I have a large silverware drawer with a silverware tray. The area around the silverware tray is that drawer though

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I have an entire spare dresser that has nothing but these drawers

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

Ah yes. The “nonsense drawer” as my youngest labeled it. It has stuck. In my parents family it was called the junk drawer.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Most of my drawers are junk drawers. IDK how I find anything

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes. It's so common that it's been a well known joke in the UK for the last 16 years: The "Man" Drawer.

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

A junk drawer? ... yes, most houses have one.

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

We do

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

Your house is this drawer. Think about it.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, I've got that drawer

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

just take the pizza cutter out

[–] snrkl@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago

You lost this one.. They've even written songs about it....

In my house it’s a whole room instead of just a drawer.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You can at least make some compartments so it's not all jumbled together

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers
