I know it's silly but my wife keeps buying plastic pots for outside and
they do not drain. I have to drill holes in them to keep plants from
drowning

While drainage holes are generally needed there are plants where this
really isn't a concern. For example, I have on a number of occasions
inadvertently attempted to drown impatiens in pots without drainage
holes. Never succeeded.

Huge pots can become interesting to move after a heavy rain if there are
no drain holes.

Good word, "interesting". :-)
