August 22, 20187 yr Popular Post I worked at a large power plant for 38 years and in a large instrument shop. Much of the work was on pneumatic instrumentation. All drawers were labeled as well as cabinets. However there were two drawers that alway got most people's attention. First was a large cabinet labeled in big letters "Things we should have thrown away years ago" My favorite was "Funny looking things"
August 22, 20187 yr Popular Post I'll bet most of our shops contain lots of items fitting those descriptions. Mine are not in labeled containers, though.
August 22, 20187 yr Popular Post I should label all of mine, "Don't Look in Here; It's Somewhere Else"

August 22, 20187 yr Popular Post I hate when I find it and realize I've already looked in this drawer three times.

August 22, 20187 yr I think my daughter spends 2 hours every day looking for her cell phone. She uses my phone to call her phone trying to locate where she left it. My tool drawers are labeled. Ya Stick, I'm lazy. Less time looking= less frustration.
August 22, 20187 yr Mine are labeled, too. Doesn't seem to help much. Putting things back would help more.
