I don't mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

In my kitchen I have a drawer full of salt next to the gas. Pretty convenient! It's also divided in 2 sections with coarse and fine salt.

as someone who cooks and cleans out the (bottoom of the) utensil drawer quite regularly this gives me anxiety

Face scrubber. I was given a small crocheted dish scrubber - sort of like these - made from very soft tulle. It's too soft to be effective on dishes, but it works perfectly on my face.

Please say this isn't normal.

I recently discovered my father was unclogging toilets for god knows how long with the toilet brush. Like stabbing and twisting. Better than a plunger he says.

Not normal, but also smth I did as a kid who hated pooping and did so once a week at times

We have the expression "look to the freshness of the shit you eat" in our native tongue. Its used to express disbelief at a situation. As far as I know, only our family has it.

I tried joining a while back but it didn't let me in. Today, to my surprise, it just worked. Been prowling a whukd

I'm just finding out now that we had a poop knife...

A snake poop knife, for the stuck snake poop in the snake box.

I have nothing else to say about it.

We had an "automobile hairdryer." On school mornings after I took a shower and was being driven to school, I would lean my head up towards the dashboard and have the A/C blowing full blast to finish drying my hair. I would do this every morning in elementary school. Probably not very safe now that I think back on it.

I used to do a very similar thing on my way to work. I got out of the shower, combed my hair back and drove to work with the heat cranked to max and the air duct pointed directly at my face. When I arrived I just ruffled my hair with my hand and had a perfect and indestructible style for the day. I never managed to get a good result with an actual hairdrier lol

I used to use a 500 cc hairdryer. My motorcycle.

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.

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.
