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.

    Yours is actually much cleaner, but you cannot escape the drawer. We are all the drawer. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

    every family has this drawer. We have this drawer. The solution to having this drawer is having this drawer.

    Nobody has this drawer. They’re all lying to you, it’s some big in-joke like that reddit thread where that person was asking how to switch from Spanish to English and everybody replied in Spanish. You should stand your ground and tell your wi–I can’t even joke about the level of gaslighting that would entail. Everybody has this drawer.

    I’ll be honest though, the scales are a poor fit and probably make it way more cramped. You can stand those up sideways at the edge of a cupboard or in whatever place that you keep cutting boards, because they’re a similar shape.

    Depending on how often each thing is used, you could optimise by figuring out a hanging solution for some of them. That’s quite a common thing, hanging under cupboards or on the backsplash part of the wall. Your wife might appreciate something like that as long as it’s agreed on. You’ll never totally get rid of this though.

    Just to the left of the stove, and the goddamn potato masher always manages to wiggle its way to the top and block the drawer opening.

    It’s also how some fruit is grown so leave the drawer ecosystem alone.

    Yep, have one. Its perfectly organised, because those things always go back in that drawer so that’s just where they go.
