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 family has this drawer.
Every household has a junk drawer. Be thankful you don’t have more than one.
This is not a junk drawer! This is a cooking utensil (mostly baking) that has no other good place drawer!
The junk drawer got like, loose screws and scotch tape and batteries and scrap paper and whatnot
This guy has it right. That’s basically my mom’s kitchen gadget drawer. Junk drawer has duct tape, 3 leftover zip ties, some loose AA batteries and the big screwdriver everyone seems to have
The takeout chopsticks on the right must have escaped from the junk drawer/ packet drawer, looking for a better life.
They’re handy for cooking noodles though, but we keep them in a rubber banded bundle.
The junk drawer should contain nothing that touches food. We have a couple of those outside of the kitchen
100%.
Also, we have two of these.
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.
Nah, that’s the junk drawer. This one is all the random kitchen tools drawer. Ladles, can openers, spatulas, meat thermometers, wooden spoons, etc. this and the junk drawer are two different drawers
“the junk drawer” is just too damn real.
don’t forget the used Twisties and batteries
This guy knows what he’s talking about
Don’t forget tangled wired headphones, rubber bands, a single battery, loose change, and unevenly folded napkins you’ll never use!
And a Pez dispenser, nerf bullets and misc batteries.
Your wife is right mate, this drawer is what makes a house a home.
Every house has one.
Where is the ball of asparagus rubber bands?
Not to brag but I have two of these and a proper junk drawer.
This drawer is the solution. To everything…
…except getting something out of the drawer.
What sucks is when you end up super frustrated getting everything to fit, so you rip apart the drawer and put everything back in all nice and wow would you look at that you can fit everything and close it easily!
For two days. Tops.
If you have that problem, it means you really need 2 junk drawers, not one.
Yours is actually much cleaner, but you cannot escape the drawer. We are all the drawer. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Yes, I have a drawer like that. And yes, every family has this drawer.
Yes, I have the where-does-this-thing-go drawer, for food prep items that don’t fit elsewhere, and also the junk drawer which includes things like
- Lighter
- Weird long plyers
- Twine
- Self-fusing rubber tape
- Random rubber bands
- Twist ties that came with electronics
- A random assortment of sharpies in various states of abuse
- A weird scissor thing with a blade at 90° to a flat piece of steel
- Random Lego pieces
- Batteries that are good but not in packaging
- Hearing aid batteries (noone in our house has hearing aids)
- A single 12"x18" piece of Scotch Brite
- Matches
- A pencil with the tip broken off

You need to run bleachbit on all that
every family has this drawer. We have this drawer. The solution to having this drawer is having this drawer.
Every family has that drawer
Every family… I have TWO of them
Two families?
Who doesn’t?
Of course, the junk drawer.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a home without one.
i live alone and i have one
At least one. Usually more.
