Junk drawer. Drawer, drawer. Not draw, damnit!

[Guest2]

Everyone I know has a 'junk draw' or cupboard. As a child I remember in my parents kitchen there was one that had mobile phones from the 80s, a dog chain, selotape, spare change, medicine, superglue and many other random items. I would route through it at least once every few days looking for toys, money or anything i've not used / see for years

I have a love hate relationship with junk draws. Can either never find what you want or you magically find an item you lost years go

Anyone, lets see what random junk you have. Here's ours - light bulbs, tape, a hammer, medicine/pills, superglue, alcohol, tea, nail polish remover, pens, batteries, old bills, decking stain, covid mask, sandpaper, tape measure. A colander also gets stored in the top as there's a gap for the handle

I just remembered, a few years ago at uni we had a small junk draw. We found 18 lighters in it when we moved out. Me and my two housemates don't even smoke!
House parties, post nights / early morning out must have caused a build up

Is that hammer wrapped in sellotape??

It is. I used it years ago to straighten or knock out watch pins that i didnt want to damage

 

[Guest2]

And the sellotape helped in what way?!

I cant really remember. Probably so the pins didnt get damaged

 

[Guest2]

but how would the sellotape have helped with that?

It’s not sellotape, its electrical tape that’s quite thick (and soft compared to metal)
