Ask Lemmy

This drawer is government issued when a house is built. Every family had this drawer. It is load bearing. Removing the contents of this drawer will cause irreparable damage to the house.

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

We have several of those drawers.

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

We have this drawer, maybe 2. My parents recently thinned and organized theirs. You can get cut-to-fit drawer Inserts if it bothers you.

I have that drawer, a bit more full tho.

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

My family has a junk home, not just a drawer :)

I think there are some sharp as well as blunt instruments that can be used to help resolving that disagreement.

I have this drawer, and also the junk drawer. This is the correct solution to 'uncommonly used tools of an awkward shape'

I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

We don't have one, we have multiple

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

I wish I could open mine.

Every family I know has this drawer, sorry mate

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!

We have several junk drawers. Maybe they all are.

Everyone has that, except for my parents, its not just a drawer, but the entire basement floor. Filled. With. Junk.

😕

How did you get in my house!?

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

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.

I have one and my parents have one

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

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

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

Yep.

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

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.

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.

In Yorkshire they call this a rammel drawer

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

I have whole cabinets like this
