Things that I know I’ll never need, but the fear of maybe needing it one day prevents me from binning it
Which one? I have several
I had one at work , the odds and sods spanners and screwdrivers and sockets drawer, old mismatched stuff, sold it last week for £200.
i dont have one anymore have become quite brutal when it comea to keeping random bits now
All my useful bits and bobs, they are all useful…
I have 2 drawers like that. They are the first place i look if i need something for something.
They are generaly the last place that i find something i need for something.
Sometimes i do not find the something i need for something in either of my something drawers.
Shit, mostly.
I have multiple shit draws, organised with different kinds of shit, but all still slightly jumbled up.
How did you end up with a random weapon from a gundam kit in there
About a thousand loose batteries of varying sizes, there’s a glittery Erickson brick phone in there somewhere, a large keychain belonging to who I can only assume is a stranger as I do not recognise it, and I’m sure there’s another mobile phone in there
Those were just the items I could remember off the top of my head
9 sizes of Allan key.
1 lighter with no flint
1 lighter with no gas
6 tea lights
Scart cable.
A Nintendo ds stylus (pink)
Charger for a phone I haven’t owned for ten years.
Instruction manual for smoothie maker
4 screws
2 zip ties
What the Hell is that green pointy thing in the upper left? I don’t know what it is, but it looks like something I would want to have.
It is NOT a “shit” drawer, thank you very much, and I keep all the most important things in there
Cables, HDDs, a batteries mostly. A spate screwdriver.
Constipation suppository
No….. Throw that drawer out just the whole damn thing and start over.
My hopes and dreams.
Packs of old batteries that when I need batteries I buy a new pack because I forget I have some in the drawer of doom. And loads of lighters, always need lighters
don’t have one anymore 🙂 used to be stuff like batteries, manuals, food bag clips and the salt packets from kfc. i finally organised and threw stuff away ! no more shit drawer
Oo let’s have a look:
Halloween face mask
Socks I got for christmas and haven’t put away yet
A usb fan
Christmas tree headband wiggly bopper things
Printer manual
Empty used Jiffy bags
Pack of lighters
Stardew valley map
Colour changing gin kit
Tape measure
Variety of broken jewellery
Glasses wipes
Sunglasses I forgot I had
Edit: formatting
Well you can create some space by throwing out those glasses, they’ll be scratched to fuck.
Everything that can be used but never does, if we throw it out… it will be needed
Never sort the draw
Put the shite in a cardboard box. Put a date on the box (today + 1 year). Take a photo of the box including the date. Then close the box and put it somewhere. If you need anything, you can check your phone image, which box it’s it.
If you haven’t opened the box in a year, bin it.
Looks same to mine
Implying that I have only one such drawer?
I’ve got adhd so I don’t have shit drawers I have shit piles (not that kind🤣) that are strategically place around my flat for when I may or may not need something.
Mine has spilt over into the cupboard underneath, so now my tupperware cupboard has become the shit cupboard. I’m not sure where it will spread to next.
Let’s have a butchers.
-An old graphics card (may come in use if my main one dies)
-Loads of USB cables
-Airsoft pistol that doesn’t fire
– Canister of gas for my airsoft pistol
-CD wallet with 2 x USB sticks and burnt PS1 & Dreamcast games. I don’t have either console.
-A receipt for a chair I bought from IKEA. Got to keep that 10 years warranty.
-Various screw drivers
-Cable ties
-A power cable that I have no idea what it’s for
Yes
If you haven’t touched that stuff in the last two weeks, you can throw it away there’s no need to keep it.
This X10
You swine! You took that picture in my house! 🤣
Batteries and shit that I won’t ever know is there until I throw it out. Then start again.
You never know when you’ll need a gundam beam axe
Everything. There’s probably a fucking kangaroo in there at this point
The red pop top, did or does it contain what I think it did or does?
It amazes me that I am in fact not the only person with a £15 Nintendo e-shop gift card in my junk drawer – I’ve had it at least half a year and I don’t use my switch that much anymore so it’s just kind of there for now.

That little blue dinosaur will come in handy one day.
I once saw a video about organising drawers. The lady gave the most precious tip ever: don’t have a shit drawer. If you don’t have one, you will have to find a place for all the shit you have. It works!
