MODERATORS
You’re the third person to be opposed to the scale that I’ve seen in this thread. This drawer is exactly where the scale lives in my house. TBH, the OP’s drawer looks a lot like mine.
Edit: I found a fourth
Fifth here. That scale doesn't belong in the "awkwardly sized cooking utensils" drawer.
You see, there's a journey of self discovery that every household goes through, and during that journey, it's ok for the kitchen scale to go in different places. We've all been there, so no one is judging.
When the time is right, it will find its way to a shelf where it will live happily for the rest of its life.
Sixth. We keep the scale with baking supplies (measuring cups, flour, etc), since we mostly use it when making dough. Other than that, our drawer is nearly identical.
Seventh and we keep it in the same place as you and for the same reason.
Eighth. It belongs out on the counter where you use it constantly.
I jest about the severity of course, but for me the scale is just too far from the shape of everything else in the drawer to belong there.
I feel loony for expressing this thought at all.
My scale lives happily in this drawer too
