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.

    Every single organization system will fail. When we try to put things into categories, there will always be some things that don’t fit. That is why every organization scheme needs a miscellaneous category. That seems to be the purpose of this drawer, and that’s great.

    I lack the space for a drawer like this, instead this exists as a plastic tub in the kitchen cabinet under the sink.

    Everyone has this drawer, but this one is too organized. It appears to be 100% kitchen tools. You need to add a deck of playing cards, a bunch of soy sauce packets, a few half-used books of matches, a few take-out menus, and some loose keys in order to do this drawer properly.

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

    Yes, I’m pretty sure everyone has a drawer like that. One thing I’m missing (unless I’m just not looking hard enough) is scissors.

    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.
