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.

When my daughter was 4, she named it the “Don’t know where go drawer” and that’s how we’ve referred to it since.
I also have a man drawer.
If you don’t have this drawer you simply don’t have drawers.
What do you mean? This is organized! And I have such a drawer too. This is the collection of slightly large kitchen tools that are not large enough to place them in the cupboard.
Whether every family has this drawer or not, I wouldn’t know, so I’m not very helpful with settling your argument. I’d bet, every family has this drawer though. Because everyone must have those kinds of utensils, and there’s no other logical place to store them. Some people hang some of them on the wall, but even then, there are some that cannot be hung on the wall. Those go into this drawer.
In Yorkshire they call this a rammel drawer
Wife is always right
Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.
Yep.
It’s more of a “Junk Drawer” in my family. Just for things that have no relevant places or are easily categorized, but are important enough not to keep somewhere more out of the way. Always contains at least one item that makes it near impossible to open the drawer on first pull and requires manipulation to open. For my family, it’s usually a hammer.
3d printed some Gridfinity stuff and fixed a couple of these drawers. The rest are under way.
This is very common. If you really must “solve” it, the solution world be a shadow box layout. You empty it, lay stuff down where you want it, then take a picture or trace the shapes onto paper. Then model and 3d print an insert to give everything a dedicated cutout or cut it from foam or mill it from wood. This is what folks do in workshops. I’ve never seen it for a kitchen large utensil drawer, but that’s what to do if you must.
Yes. I’ve tried to sort it, but there are too many small things that don’t go anywhere else, so they are dumped together.
Trust me, that one is fine
I have this drawer.
It’s not a junk drawer.
It’s an irregular kitchen items drawer.
It’s just the cost of being someone who actually uses their kitchen. We have the garlic press, scissors, pizza cutter, bench scrapers, microplaners, thermometers, etc… in there. All useful things that fit poorly with other things, so they get a drawer all to themselves.
The junk drawer with batteries and twist ties is another drawer.
The misc tools drawer? I have one that’s overflowing. My parents have multiple drawers and cabinets of this.
I do not have that drawer. Mine is at least twice as full.
Sorry to say, your wife is right. Sorry to say, even if she is wrong she is right.
My life is this drawer.
