There isn’t a house in existence that doesn’t have one of these. All houses that exist have one of these by celestial mandate.

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.

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

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

Yes, every family I've ever known has had a drawer with bulky oversized kitchen utensils and gadgets. The harder you try to organize these things, the more you will realize that you'd just end up with an entire drawer taken up by a single pizza cutter, garlic press, or zester. Theoretically, if you had enough storage space in your kitchen you could do that, but these things are used so infrequently that they either get shoved into one drawer which fully takes up that one space with disorganized chaos, or placed in a receptacle of some sort to sit on the countertop for when you need it, which is ugly and takes up then takes up the counter space instead.

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

I do not have this drawer.

I have two of this drawer.

That's easy:

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.

What is the green thing with the white blades?

I wish I could open mine.

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

Bits and bobs drawer. Yep

We have two of them.

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.

Not only do we have the "one", we each have one in our own space as well.

We don't have one, we have multiple

I have whole cabinets like this

You could get rid of half of that stuff at least

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

I'd be more inclined to call this a misc utensils drawer. I have one just like it, with many of the same items, but I also have a true "junk drawer", but it has anything but utensils in it. Like, batteries, screws, magnifying glass, fire starters, a deck of cards, etc. All of the shit that ends up near the kitchen that doesn't have a whole space dedicated to similar things, finds a home in the junk drawer.

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.

We all have one . Mines right next to the oven so I have quick access to various things I use

It's called a junk drawer and as far as I am aware it's an inevitability. However, I will say it's odd that you have utensils in there. Most junk drawers I've encountered are filled with random crap that rarely if ever gets used.

Every family has at least one packing drawer of course!

Yeah, we have this drawer. There are always going to be some tools you use in the kitchen enough to justify the purchase but not enough to be in any of the daily driver drawers. Honestly, this is not bad, we have a drawer that is the awkward necessary crap drawer for the awkward necessary crap drawer.

Every family I know has this drawer, sorry mate

We have several of those drawers.

We don't have one.

If something isn't important enough to have a specific place, it isn't important enough to own.

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!

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

Yep.

How did you get in my house!?

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

We have several junk drawers. Maybe they all are.
