just take the pizza cutter out

We do

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.

I have an entire spare dresser that has nothing but these drawers

A junk drawer? ... yes, most houses have one.

In my house it’s a whole room instead of just a drawer.

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

Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.

Your house is this drawer. Think about it.

I have a knife drawer with 2/3 of these objects in it and a measuring tool drawer witj 1/3 of these items. My junk drawer contains literally nothing in this drawer.

Where else would you sort the strange kitchen tools?

They don't belong anywhere in particular, so they are clumped together.

You can at least make some compartments so it's not all jumbled together

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers

My mom has one of these, but we (my and my brother) don't live with her anymore. We (me and my gf) don't have one.

You might like a doom box: "didn't organise only moved". Put it in sight but make sure it's small enough that you can put it away when guests are over.

We have this drawer.

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!

Looks good

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

you have too much stuff. time to minimalize!

I'd just point out that most of that drawer could be replaced with a good knife. I mean is cutting garlic really so onerous you need a fancy doodad? Even the zesters functionality could be done with a knife. I hate to be judgey bastard, but that drawer smacks of consumerism and excess. With the exception of the mixer prongs and the scale I'm not seeing anything needed in a residential kitchen.

We don't have one like that. Though most of our kitchen is well organized in drawers.

We have like 3 junk drawers. The get filled with so much shit that we don't know what to do with that we just find another drawer

I by myself only have a single drawer(don't need/have more) but for my parents this is devinetively true. They have one for metal pieces, one for plastic pieces and one for cutlery. The fourth drawer is for all the stuff that isn't really needed that often or simply to big to be put into one of the other drawers.
