I wish I could open mine.

Pretty much every house i cooked at i found an equivalent of this drawer, even when they did other things differently. Maybe with the exception of my girlfriend, she's freakishly organized, but she has one massive drawer that includes silverware where somehow all the weird crap fits and it's organized,

Edit: I lied, I looked at her drawer again today, she has a subsection for random cluttered shit

It's the stuff drawer. Why are you like this?

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!)

A messy drawer? There should be at least two: one for the kitchen and one for general.

Bits and bobs drawer. Yep

We don't have one, we have multiple

Have you ever visited other people's kitchens? Everyone has that drawer.

I have that drawer, a bit more full tho.

It's the one where everything is oddly shaped and can't stack easily.

The only reason I don't have such a drawer, is an overall lack of drawers in my house, don't really have one to spare to be a junk drawer.

Which is a damn shame because I could really use a drawer to throw some miscellaneous odds and hands that don't have any other designated place to live.

Correct, we have this drawer. And what sucks is that it has been broken for about 20 years.

That's easy:

Yep we’ve got a large utensil drawer

We had one when I grew up. Now that I'm living elsewhere with my own family we don't; we have two.

Every kitchen has this, but I'd work on your layout. You could put about 50% more gadgets in there.

Also, store the scale vertically somewhere for maximum efficiency

How did you get in my house!?

(yes, we have this exact drawer, though I moved the scale to another drawer)

In Yorkshire they call this a rammel drawer

Your junk drawer game is weak. We have 3 of them in the kitchen and the least bad of them is worse than that.

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.

I have several. It takes a few months before the order becomes chaos. I do know where to find my stuff though.

Every family I know has this drawer, sorry mate

I have one and my parents have one

We have several junk drawers. Maybe they all are.

My work does one of those round robin steal it gift exchanges. One of my coworkers would just dump her junk drawer into a bag. It had the best stuff!

im afraid that everyone has the forbidden drawer. the drawer that should never be opened except as a last ditch effort to find that one appliance that seems to elude you in every other drawer. you can try to destroy the drawer, but it will always come back in some form.

No drawer. Probably due to the kitchen layout, we don't have smaller drawers, so the tools and such go into their own container.

I have no drawers but at least one box per room for this purpose

Yep.

My wife got snap apart customizable drawer organizers and it's a big difference. She showed me the way.
