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.
Throw in birthday candles, rubber bands, and a few coins and you got yourself a proper junk drawer.
I actually think they need one or more random sharp objects to almost cut yourself on, just to be on the safe side. Pizza cutters just aren’t sharp enough for this application.
That’s not even a proper junk drawer, that’s all kitchen gadgets, but okay… Yes, in my experience, most households have a junk drawer.
Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?
I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.
where’s the sauce packets?
Packet drawer, organized, maxed out
Well this backfired on OP
Ah yes, the “junk” drawer. I have three! :-)
Not only does everyone have one of these, they suffer from quantum entanglement.
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.
How do people do without an electric drill? Why don’t they use it?!
I also have this drawer
You guys can open THE drawer?!
Every house has that drawer.
Your wife is correct.
It’s the stuff drawer. Why are you like this?
Yes. Most kitchens have a junk drawer. This is often where the household hammer is kept, among other random things.
Compromise in marriage means not organizing everything to death and allowing your partner to maintain some jumbled spaces. A junk drawer is organized, out of sight chaos that still maintains a certain logic.
We’ve also floated the idea that not having a junk drawer in the kitchen may be a marker of psychopathy. I jest, but also not. Just know, junk drawers are common, diverse, and almost as expected as silverware drawers.
There’s no way ‘can it end the rabbits’ is a psycho. no way.
I have whole cabinets like this
