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.

    For every item in that drawer, ask yourself: “When was the last time I used this?”

    If it’s more than a year ago, it’s not in the right place.

    If it’s less than a year ago, it’s also not in the right place.

      Huh, that’s very insightful! I’ll be using that on my own junk drawer

      My family’s junk drawer is stuff we use on a regular basis, but doesn’t require its own specific drawer. Pens, batteries, post it notes, Xbox 360.
