Yes, and as others have mentioned, the scale sits on the counter since it's delicate.

Every family afaik has at least one of these drawers. Just accept it and live your life.

I have 2 of these drawers. 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the garage.

I’ve got four of those.

Edit: wait, that’s a useful disorganized kitchen drawer. I’ve got two. I should do something about my four junk drawers, and today’s the day, goddammit!

That one drawer won't look messy, if every drawer looks like this. *taps forehead *

It can be sorted quite nicely if you get an organiser division thingy. Even if you're only going to keep one thing in each section, it's nice to have each thing in its own place. The difficulty with that is remembering where it's supposed to be, and that it takes more space.

A little basket is suitable for keeping most of those things if you simply accept that them being in the same basket is actually the correct placement for them.

At my parents we had a similar drawer with miscellaneous stuff but it was organised so it looked somewhat tidy. Currently I don't have a drawer like this, cuz I have a tiny kitchen with only one drawer which is reserved for cutlery.

One drawer? We have house full of these, cupboards and a garage XD

Hate to say it, but just about everyone I know has a junk drawer, myself included. Same as you with the other drawers, organized to the max, but the junk drawer will always be the junk drawer.

My wife got snap apart customizable drawer organizers and it's a big difference. She showed me the way.

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

A drawer full of emergency makeshift weapons? Yes. Also a junk drawer? Yes, more than one.

Of course I have that drawer. Why do you need a solution? What's the problem?

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.

I’m lucky that my drawer like this is actually inside a cutting board cupboard. The inconvenience helps give it purpose: awkward unnecessary crap we rarely use

Ahh. The good ole junk drawer.

I've had one in every home I've lived, even when I was the minor.

Wife says the same.

To an extent, we always had a junk drawer. Over the years it got smaller and more organized. Utinsels have an actual drawer for them all. So no pizza cutter in our junk drawer anymore. Almost everything in your picture has a spot for us.

Here's our junk drawer now.

Mine is more organised (without dividers, similar stuff simply each has its own space) and still roughly looks like yours.

you have too much stuff. time to minimalize!

We have a miscellaneous drawer of utensils and kitchen tools. Also another drawer of non-kitchen stuff that's just "the kitchen drawer" - screwdrivers, pliers, paper clips, rubber bands, magnets, ruler, magnifying glass.., not exactly "organized" but randomly deposited in compartments of an old generic drawer organizer so at least it's not just a pile. We just call it "the drawer".

I have whole cabinets like this

We don't have one, we have multiple

At my parents' place, EVERY drawer is like that!

If you don’t have this drawer you simply don’t have drawers.
