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.

Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?

I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.

We have long sticks and tools around in case something gets stuck in any drawer, I think last stuck draw was a one of the dinner trays sticking up and we couldnt open the drawer, before that was the cutlery drawer and a long knife sticking up XD

Dinner trays? Those things people used in the 70s to eat dinner infront of the TV?

[-] Aimeeloulm@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, we still use them for different purposes, quite handy at times, can just wipe them over clean and put back in draw. I find them easy to carry food and so does my parents, both mum and I have autoimmune illnesses that affect us, dad has Parkinson's so gets shakes and is often bit unsteady, so dinner trays help alot :o)

[-] el_abuelo@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Well fair play to ya! Surprised they're still a thing but that makes a lot of sense.
