My wife wanted to order a spice rack for our kitchen that fit in the cabinet. Our current setup was just a mess so she found one on Amazon and called to me to get the tape measure out in the garage. I yelled back...grab the tailor's tape in the junk drawer. Sure enough it was sitting between the set of random keys, a new bag of neon fish bait and an assortment of 9 volt batteries.

So...whatdaya got in yer junk drawer?

So I have a few junk drawers...But since we're talking about kitchen ones, I'll start there. Oven mitts, scissors, tape dispenser, twist-ties, keys (definitely a set of keys in there that aren't mine; don't even know where they came from), chip bag clips, Glade plugin-smell-good things, product/assembly manuals, and of course random assortment of screws and nails. None of this is organized into; all just thrown in.

I have two desk setups; one in the living room where I sometimes do my WFH, and another in my bedroom where I mainly game (and sometimes WFH). I have drawers attached to both. The living room junk drawer is mostly office supply related. Writing utensils, post-its, rulers, a tape measure, extra rolls of tapes, with sometimes random USB cords tossed-in.

In my bedroom, that junk drawer is similar to the living room, but has more important documents and mail (but not important enough to properly file away though), candy, box-cutter, scissors, business cards, and receipts. And also a single like, xylophone mallet? I'm 36; last time I was in a band class was 18yrs ago. And I'm not even a percussionist. No idea where that came from nor why I still have it.

If it was organized it would be an X drawer for the specific things found in the drawer. To be junk it must not be organized.
