I have a fetch ladle and a coal spoon. My dog lives for fetch but always sets the ball next to my feet. If I’m sitting on the back porch I don’t want to keep bending forward so I have a ladle that’s perfect for scooping up a tennis ball and throwing it. I also have a slotted spoon that I use to grab unburnt coal out of my grill before dumping the ashes. Both of these utensils just hang from my grill.

I have a under bed retrieving stick. My bed has a gap close to the wall, so object sometime fall in. Since the bed is to heavy to be easily moved. I leave a retriving stick. I could upgrade to a hook. But I like the challenge of using a stick.

Drywall patching spade that is a stain scraper.

Many years ago, I lived with two slobs. They often left dried food on the counters, floors, and other flat surfaces (like the stove top or floor of the oven). In addition, one of them fed their dog with human food that gave it the shits, and was not attentive towards talking the dog out to poop. So the floor would have clay-like puddles of drying dog diarrhea. This scraper was used to deal with the dollop of whatever organic matter was dried onto the counter, floor, or otherwise. Then washed in the next dishwasher cycle.

“But you’ll scratch the [surface material]!!!”

I don’t care. My house, my problem. Clean up after yourself, for fucks sake. Plus, I was always wiping down the counter with cleansers, so any cross contamination was not a concern. I am a voracious cleaner.

Those slobs have left, the dog passed away, and the dogs my wife and I have now are mostly housebroken and don’t have diarrhea. The scraper only rarely gets used these days. When she moved it, I had to explain to her what it was, though.

Congratulations on losing the housemates, they’re gross

tomjuggler ,

Probably have a ton of unusual/unique items, being a magician and juggler, but the one that comes to mind is our dedicated BBQ bellows.

This is simply an old re-purposed balloon pump and lives outside next to the fireplace. Best way to get the fire going, portable, cheap… Beats blowing with your mouth/waving newspaper hands down.

Texas_Hangover ,

I have grill bellows as well! Also, for camping I got a “pocket bellows” which is basically a collapsible tube you blow in to get the fire going. Handy stuff!

beirdobaggins ,

I have a tongue scraper that I keep in the shower. It is used exclusively for scraping dead skin from my heels.

It is not this but it does look like this.

Goblin_Mode ,

I have this exact same thing! My dentist reccomended it to me because I drink way too much coffee, which apparently causes like yellow orange film to form on your tongue

We have a felony stick…I’d tell you what it’s for, but for obvious reasons… 🤫

hemko ,

Cool, we had a felony belt when I was a kid

DanglingFury ,

OMG this is so wrong you raise your kids the same way all of humanity has for the entirety of history. how could you

For most of human history, slavery was a normal thing, I’m not sure your argument is a good one.

Airazz ,

Most people evolve and figure out what works for discipline and what doesn’t.

Others just beat the shit out of everyone who annoys them including their own kids, and then wonder why those kids grow up to either be massive douchebags, or cut contact with their parents as soon as they can.

Abuse?

SauceBossSmokin ,

Pellet pole for my pellet smoker. It’s a 4ft long reflective marker (for marking edge of driveway when it snows) that I use to push the wood pellets to the middle of the pellet storage hopper towards the auger at the bottom.

Waldemar_Firehammer ,

I just have a long screwdriver slotted on the push bar. It works great for preventing the pellets from doming.

CmdrShepard ,

How big is your hopper? Ours is only like 24" deep at most.

Sequentialsilence ,

We have a suite of kitchen tools because sometimes walking downstairs to the garage is to far when all you want to do is measure something real quick or quickly tighten or loosen a screw.

Sir/Madam do you live in a mansion?

Sequentialsilence ,

No, just lazy

jrbaconcheese ,

Haha we have a kitchen hammer and screwdriver! Our family found a similar drawer in a vacation home and laughed about it; then we got home and realized how often you just need one of those and it’s great to have one right there!

Yep, the kitchen “junk drawer”, filled with a few hand tools, rubber bands and zip ties, batteries, graphite lubricant, matches and lighters, screws and buttons, other miscellaneous bits and bobs.

MrShankles ,

Not to be mistaken for the kitchen “miscellaneous drawer”, filled with condiment packets, wrapped plastic utensils, other large kitchen utensils you rarely use but won’t fit in the regular drawer, maybe an extra meat thermometer that you’re not sure if it even works.

For a while we had the kitchen shovel.

It was a garden trowel that we had washed and used as a very large spoon when we first moved in, because we hadn’t found the silverware yet.

MrShankles ,

I also have a small kitchen toolbox under my sink. Tape measure, screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, pliers, and a small hammer.

It’s so I don’t have to pull my large toolbox out from the closet in the other room, when I just need to tighten one loose screw. It’s trivial, but a necessity for me now

deegeese ,

I think a small kitchen tool set is pretty common.

Botched toe!

Give me some trash to plug the wound.

You’re saying this because of the IASIP episode, right?

Yes but have you tried a toe spoon?
