It never fails. No matter how many times I clean out the drawer that has miscellaneous stuff in it, there are tons of packages of ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, taco sauce, chili pepper for pizza, parmesan cheese packets, etc. On a rare occasion will I maybe seek a hot sauce packet, but there is no way I am going to use a condiment package when I could easily grab me a bottle of whatever I need from my refrigerator or pantry. I dread looking in that drawer and seeing what my family has put in there.

I know what you mean: extra soy sauce packets from the Chinese restaurant; sugar, salt and pepper packets, hot sauce, taco sauce, McDonald's ketchup packets and packets of mustard. In that same drawer are twist ties for plastic bags, some used and unused, several rubber bands from the newspaper, old nails and hooks for hanging pictures a pair of scissors, scotch tape and a few broken pencils with the points broken off and a few pens which no longer write--when the phone rings and I have to take down information I go searching for something to write with and nothing works. I need to throw out some of that stuff! I can relate.

:lol: Hahhaa, yup, we've always had a drawer like that in my house! It has ketchup, soy sauce, duck sauce, those little containers of ranch and honey mustard you get from McDonalds, etc. Not to mention a million other pieces of junk.

Nope, we use to keep the condiment packages in a glass bowl in the crisper part of the refrigerator :lol: . After a while I got tried of looking at it and I just threw them all out.

Now in our miscellaneous drawer in the kitchen we have batteries, screw drivers, candles and some other junk.

Oh god, I have a huge container of soy sauce and duck sauce packets. You can tell what I eat. :lol:

I think I also have some ketchup, mayo, and mustard... I don't even like mustard, but I can't bear to throw things away. If it's free, I'll keep it until I find it a use. I have three shoeboxes full of hotel soap.

I throw them out. We have sandwiches and fries delivered, and I have my own ketchup out. Those little packets are a pain, and there's hardly anything in them.

My second miscellaneous drawer has the batteries, nails, screws, one small screwdriver, one small phillips screwdriver, small krazy glue, and a whole lotta bunch of "junk" I feel I may use one day.

:yeahthat

I absolutely HATE eating fast food out and being stuck with those tiny packets. :rolleyes:

But to answer the question, yes we do. I guess for emergencies. :lol: We also have screw drivers, batteries, etc. in another drawer.

That's so cool. I've never heard of a place that delivers sandwiches and fries. Do they also deliver hamburgers? That would be cool if there was a place like that around here. :)



You don't actually drink ketchup do you?
Ummm....no of course not! I mean, that's soo disgusting! Me? Never. Who are you to judge me!?!?!?

We have a drawer in our refrigerator that is full of Taco Bell sauce, McDonald's sweet & sour, Wendy's sweet & sour, Arby's sauce and horsey sauce, and maybe a few packets of honey mustard. We never keep packets of ketchup or mustard but we always keep the other sauces, partially for the times when you ask for the sauce at the drive-thru but they forget to put it in your bag. It's much easier knowing you have extra sauce at home then to go in and complain.

No problem! :lol: I just use the Arby's sauce but my parents love the horsy sauce.

I'm not judging, I was just wondering if you drink ketchup. I know you really like ketchup and you put it on food. Ok, it was a stupid question.
LMAO Calm down, just joking around. In all honesty no I don't dump it right in my mouth. Usuall it has to be on food, at the very least a piece of bread.

We keep our condiment packages in our refridgerator drawer, where we keep the cheese and lunch meat, and stuff. We did finally go through it a couple months ago though, and threw probably threw away about five years worth of ketchup, Arby's sauce, mustard, and every other condiment you can think of. :lol:

I was originally trying to joke as well. You don't have to get upset about it.
I'm not upset!! lol That's what I was trying to tell you.

I take handfuls of those packets on purpose. One because they're free and I can (the cost of it is in your burger, so what do I care?), and 2, because that helps delay the cost of ketchup at the store. Plus, they're great to put in lunches I take to work.

No. I always throw them out when I am home. They are such a pain and take up space.

On the other hand, it is different at work. We have a couple of drawers where we keep our chips, salt and pepper shakers, etc...where we also keep a lot of those little packet condiments. My co-workers use some of them, so I have to refrain myself from throwing them out. I can easily get too tidy over those packets. :lol:
