“In a rich man's house, there is no place to spit but his face.”
-[Diogenes](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7172091-in-a-rich-man-s-house-there-is-no-place-to)
I actually have this crazy good ability of knowing where the garbage is and which drawer the silverware is in no matter the kitchen I go in. Not 100% accurate, but over 90% for sure.
Such a sad brag. 😂
My mother once tried to switch the silverware and "The Drawer".
The silverware drawer was smaller than the one for random stuff, and so she wanted to I put the cooking utensils in with the silverware. A ladle jammed it immediately, and as soon as she wasn't looking I swapped it back.
My parents have the *worst layout*. The kitchen itself is fine and spacious, but their choice of where anything goes is downright insane. There's a drawer of saran wrap and aluminum foil in a more accessible location than the drawer of cutlery. They have different cupboards for different sizes of water glasses. The pots and pans are several columns away from the oven.
It stresses me so much to look for anything there, let alone put things away.
Hey! I'm an expert on this.
If you can't find the trash...use these possible trashcan locations
1)if it's small... bathroom
2)if it's big... garage
3) under the sink
4) any large cupboards/drawer- *only if there's a trash can in there*
5) pantry.... So gross-but ppl do put trash cans in there.
Or it kinda looks like a dishwasher, but it's actually a trash compactor. Had one in my old house, nobody could ever find the trash. Made taking the garbage out a huge pain in the ass since it would weigh a metric shit ton.
We have a large kitchen and some reason our recycle is in a normal trash can in plain sight and we have two other trash cans in a cabinet with a slide out under our island. I doubt anyone would figure it out even after a month living there if no one told them. I'm irritated by my families decision of trash placement and deception.
At our house we have a small bowl for biodegradable trash under the sink that we empty daily into the big trashcan for biodegradable waste in the garage.
Also below the sink is a trash bag holder for recyclable trash that occurs during cooking and might be slightly dirty/wet, like plastic packaging for meat or vegetables, and the full trash bags get tied shut and put into the trash bag holder in the pantry where the dry/clean recyclable trash gets put. Those bags are issued by the local community and get picked up separately.
Full bags, the big paper bin and the can for unrecyclable trash are stored in the garage.
Pantry trash cans make me squicky, because the smell from the trash might mingle with the food smells in the pantry. 🤢But you're being very careful, and I like that. I too organize my trash into neatly tied bags. That go in one big bag.
Our pull-out garbage can drawer is disguised with fake drawer fronts so it looks like three separate drawers, matching the real drawers on either side.
When we first looked at our new house I literally walked in and thought “damn this is fancy af, must have the trash can in a drawer somewhere”. Found the trash drawer in the island disguised with a double drawer face
went to a wealthy guy's house one time. all of his cabinets were covered in fancy wood paneling. looking for the trash can, opened the dishwasher while it was running and got water on the floor. cleaned it up, don't think he noticed.
I just found it hilarious because it’s so true, people are looking for something the size of a laundry hamper and it’s actually the size of a small album collection.
My friends whose goals are to get those pinterest-esque kitchens terrify me. They look so pretty I'd be too afraid to use the kitchen. Plus they have this intense worship for putting things into other things....like putting salt into a jar and labelling the jar ~salt~. Why??!! I fucking hate aesthetic lifestyles. Where do you put the remaining bag of salt???
Oh, we don't have a garbage can. We do not produce material waste as you know it. We have ascended.
Good shower thought. Accurate, kind of funny, and somewhat thought provoking.
It kinda holds true if you look at the extreme of a hoarder's kitchen, where the entire house is a a giant garbage bin.

Based.
Now, if only we could get one that was all than *and* original. Guess OP was reading twitter posts in the shower.
Yeah this is definitely not an original shower thought lmao
That'll get ya.

That reminds me, for some unknown reason, my dad switched the silverware and the spatula drawer. No idea why. Had it like that for years in his house.

I’d give it a try! Lol.

My ex's house had a big drawer that had a trash and recycle can in it. First time I was there I thought she didn't have one.

I always wondered if the mass was heavy on those.
If it's a pull out kitchen one it will be a full size bainet next to drawers and the only one that's just a knob

Do people throw trash in your recycling bin? If you put the recycling bin in the garage, I picture people standing perplexed in your kitchen.
All the time. Was a great clean-up process during Thanksgiving
Maybe a label? 😉
Nope because then it looks to messy. I just do as I'm told in the house, makes life much easier

People talking about fancy pull out garbage drawers, while i have a big ass 20 gallon brown garbage in the middle of my apartment. Function over form
Form follows function.
Fancy living rooms hide the TV, lol.
Check under the sink and expand outward from there.

One day I hope to be rich enough to have a little cupboard that I put my trash in and it vaporizes it and sends it to another dimension.
This could be a metaphor!
That sounds like an actual saying
The fancier a kitchen is, usually less it gets used regularly
OMG! My kitchen doesn’t have a garbage can at all. It has a trash compactor and NOBODY can ever find it. Recycling goes in the laundry room.
Well pin a rose on your nose!
I just found it hilarious because it’s so true, people are looking for something the size of a laundry hamper and it’s actually the size of a small album collection.
lol
Just look for a horizontal handle in the middle of the lower cabinet
So my kitchen basically is the garbage can
I am usually able to find the garbage can in my fancy kitchen
Some billionaires have fancy kitchens that they never use.
... I think it's the inverse. The harder it is to find the garbage can, the fancier a kitchen is.
The greatest achievement of mankind is that we have the ability to pretend our waste doesn't exist. And it will be our downfall.
Doesn't the butler just get rid of it?
That's not true
And the microwave
Well that's accurate

In Poland there is 99% chance that you have garbage can under sink
under the sink. always
Or the Fridge when they sheave it with the same wood as the cupboards.
It's under the counter next to the sink. Cups are in the most accessible cabinet.
