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.

    • Lighter
    • Weird long plyers
    • Twine
    • Self-fusing rubber tape
    • Random rubber bands

    • 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
