What Defines a True ‘Junk’ Drawer? (Page 2 ) | December 11, 2023
Annonce:
Pens, pencils, markers, and maybe a lonely highlighter – all in varying stages of life – are staples of the junk drawer. Despite half of them not working, they remain there, just in case one needs to jot down a note quickly.
6. Sticky Notes and Notepads:
Perhaps serving as the physical embodiment of fleeting thoughts, sticky notes, and small notepads often find refuge in the junk drawer to capture phone numbers, reminders, or shopping lists.
7. Keys:
Mysterious keys that seemingly don’t belong to any current lock in the house always end up in the junk drawer. While their purpose may be a mystery, throwing them away is out of the question.
8. Loose Change:
A smattering of coins invariably accumulates in the junk drawer. They may not be significant in value, but they are indispensable when one needs exact change for a small purchase or parking meter.
9. Flashlight:
A small handheld flashlight (with questionable battery life) is often buried beneath the assortment of items for those moments when the power goes out or when one needs to venture into darker nooks and crannies.
10. Miscellaneous Items:
Last but not least are those truly random items: a single earring, a broken piece of a toy, or a souvenir keychain. They fill the nooks and crannies and add to the enigmatic allure of the junk drawer.
While the contents of a junk drawer can vary wildly from one household to another, these items form the core of what many consider must-haves for a drawer to earn the “junk” moniker. It’s a place of organized chaos, a microcosm of modern life where everything and anything can find a home until it’s called into service. It is the drawer that binds the household together, a place where one person’s junk is another’s treasure trove of handy miscellany.
