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.

    Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?

    I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.

      We have long sticks and tools around in case something gets stuck in any drawer, I think last stuck draw was a one of the dinner trays sticking up and we couldnt open the drawer, before that was the cutlery drawer and a long knife sticking up XD

    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.

    I want to know how OP would like this drawer to look instead. Random kitchen utensils always seem to get shoved in a drawer like this

    You could build our repurpose something like a silverware organiser, but fitted to the items in there.

    But the true travesty: the scale should be easily accessible and in constant use tsk tsk

    (We don’t have such a drawer btw)

    We have four of these drawers. What helps is organization trays of different sizes and a junk cupboard.

    Long skinny things fit here, curved things go here, bulky things get piled up in the cupboard.

    Sorry OP - we all hate it too, but everyone has this. Your drawer doesn’t even look that bad. (You were able to OPEN it!)
