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.

Yes, I have the where-does-this-thing-go drawer, for food prep items that don't fit elsewhere, and also the junk drawer which includes things like

Lighter
Weird long plyers
Twine
Self-fusing rubber tape
Random rubber bands
Twist ties that came with electronics
A random assortment of sharpies in various states of abuse
A weird scissor thing with a blade at 90° to a flat piece of steel
Random Lego pieces
Batteries that are good but not in packaging
Hearing aid batteries (noone in our house has hearing aids)
A single 12"x18" piece of Scotch Brite
Matches
A pencil with the tip broken off
A pair of 1/2" Cast iron pipe 90° fittings
A key for a car that nobody can ID
The manual for the microwave
A bunch of pennies
~~Coupons for McRibs that are expired~~ gone thanks for this thread
~~Our home insurance policy~~ nope, 3y out of date
A replacement impeller for the fish tank
An iPod charger (FireWire)
An iPhone charger (usb)
2 sets of analog headphones
A dishwasher cleaning tablet

So...there you go.
