Show us your junk drawer.

[JayGilb]

I'm not sure if a junk drawer is a global thing, but at 60 years of age, it has always been part of my life.
My wife hates the drawer, but uses it to store bric-a-brac. It makes a unique sound when we dig for some item and when I hear that noise, I always tell her that the junk drawer always delivers.
My son would roll his eyes whenever I told him to look in the drawer, yet he usually struck gold. Now that he has a family and after a kitchen remodel, he has 3 junk drawers.
Various types of tape, rulers, grandkid stuff, all types of screwdrivers and pliers. Dig deep enough and you will find a large selection of screws and every hex wrench that ever came with flatpack furniture builds.

Drawer?! I have shelves!

I’m not one of those nit-picky over achievers with drawers and shelves and other such niceties. I just have a junk house …

Really bummed this thread didn't take off... I'm thinking about starting another one or two junk drawers!

How about a junk box:

The usual assorted cables and PSUs, plus various music gear and disassembled drummachines. I really need to sort this out some time, the box is coming apart after all those years.

You should see my wire drawer in the garage cabinets or my bric-a-brac one that contains items that I couldn't throw, but knew might save my ass years later.
The nearest hardware store is a 1.5 hour round trip away and when working on a project in a middle of a Sunday afternoon my hoarding has paid off many a time.

Thank you for saying it, so I don't have to.

I do technically have a second one, but in my mind it is a little too organized to perfectly qualify.
