Do we all have a junk drawer?.... and is it in your kitchen?…what’s in it?

Take out flyers
Stove fuses
Chopsticks
Rubber bands
Matches
Packets of take out sauces
Pens
Napkins from take out
Paper clips
Bottle openers
Candles
Flashlight
Tacks
Valve adapters
Unidentified keys

Yes, with all the same stuff in it. My husband tries to keep it under control but it has a mind of its own.

It's actually more of a cupboard I have under my computer. 4 shelves of absolute junk and randomness. Some of it is actually useful (I do polish my boots everyday) but mostly it's shit I can't be bothered to put away in a proper place.

^We regret to inform you that under laws pertaining to the "International Junk Drawer Federation Proclomation" your makeshift cupboard fails to qualify as a regonized junk sanctuary...this being due to the fact that it’s location is outside the parameters of your kitchen…we wish you all the best with your future junk drawer endeavors and are willing to reconsider your status should you also cook on a hotplate in the same room...

Woah, woah. I may have a dedicated kitchen, but only one personal living area. It's my bedroom, lounge, store room and bathroom. Don't make me provide pictorial evidence!

My parents have several junk drawers in their house, but I don't have any. Mainly because I don't have any drawers, except for the kitchen one, which I use for cutlery 'n stuff like that.

I do have 2 junk storages crates on top of my wardrobe though.
It has stuff like post-its, old headphones, tubes of paint, tape and stanley-knives.

I don't have a drawer, more of a trap door. It's somewhere in the dark and nasty regions, where nobody goes.

Horrors lurk there. There's usually something down there, waiting to come out. I stay away.

Atomic spiders with 10-foot legs? Invisible dwarves with guns for arms? Silvio Berlusconi? :confused:

tea towels
and a huge pile of stuff leftover from takeaway outlets

- napkins
- moist towelettes
- chopsticks
- straws
- salt n pepper sachets

as i live with housemates, we all have our own personal junk drawers in our rooms as opposed to a communal one in the kitchen.

I had a Silvio Berlusconi in my sock drawer once it was awful.

No, I have:


creepy, crawly, slimy things that stick on your skin
horrid things with tentacles that want to pull you in
squirmy worms

my mom used to randomly pull the junk drawer out, set it on the table, and like encourage me to use my imagination to make something out of what I found inside... one time we made a little device with a piece of wire/rubber bands and a washer that you wound up, sat on and slowly lifted one cheek and it made the most hilarious fart sound
