Do you have a junk drawer?

Of course I have a junk drawer - doesn’t everyone?! I’m in Scotland. 😀 If I were to tell you what is in it, I would be here for a long time and it would be a very boring read. 😄

I have always had a junk drawer in my kitchen. Originally from the Midwest. I thought everyone had one and all were called a junk drawer.

Mine contains pens, pencils, notepads, tape, glue, command hooks, scissors, bullnose clips, gum, the lighter for the BBQ and my checkbook. That's about it.

Who DOES NOT have junk drawer!??!?!?!?!

We have what I call a junk drawer, but it's actually pretty organized and doesn't have much stuff in there. It's in the kitchen and it has "satellite" supplies of things that are primarily stored elsewhere in the house or garage, but are needed often enough that having them at the ready makes sense. Things like a few batteries, a couple pens, a flat head and a Phillips head screwdriver, tape. I call it a junk drawer because the things aren't all related, like the cooking utensils drawer, but it's also not a catch-all. Only specific things belong in there.

No.

I am a very “a place for everything and everything in its place” type person.

I don’t do anything that encourages people to leave things as opposed to dealing with them. No junk drawer, no mail on counters, no catch all bowls.

I have a junk drawer (Oklahoma) It holds all the things that don't fit the categories of other drawers. opened partial packs of batteries, rubber bands from vegetables, odd things that belong to something but I don't know what, retractable tape measure and "clean" tools like pliers I use to remove bottle caps, seed packets,

Sounds a bit like mine. I have one of those in the kitchen and a junk cupboard   I'm in the UK. Mine has spare keys, an assortment of batteries, pens, elastic bands, paper clips, note pads, I could be here all night 

Who doesn't have a junk drawer?  Or maybe they don't consider it "junk", and they have pen drawer, or a notepad drawer.
But I call it a junk drawer and have pens, paper clips, note pads, fireplace lighter, scissors, spare odd size batteries, etc.

I also have a junk drawer in my bedroom nightstand, but again, its not junk, its my hair ties, lip balm, lotion, flashlight - things to use at nighttime.

This is what I have, in the top drawer of our buffet in the dining room, easily accessible from the living room and kitchen. Items we find we need that just don’t fit anywhere else, all neatly corralled. DH has what started out as my type of junk drawer in the kitchen. Now it is his kind of junk drawer. My intent was to put an outlet in there for our laptop and a few other electronics, so I started adding the cords and such. Then he took over in the kitchen due to my illness and when I rediscovered it...let’s just say I don’t look in there anymore.

I also intentionally gave him a drawer in our entrance table to throw his keys, wallet, etc in when he got home so it doesn’t clutter up the top of the table. Good intentions and all that.

We are in Texas, and yes we call them junk drawers.

Yes I totally have one. In addition to the many miscellaneous things that others have mentioned here, mine also includes decks of cards, scented wax melts, dogs heartworm pills, and anything else that doesn't have a place.

I’m sure it’s considered a junk drawer, but I don’t really call it that. My drawer is organized, but has that misc house stuff. Batteries, rubber bands, scissors, note pads, pens/markers. Stuff that doesn’t go anywhere else, but seems to go well together. It’s not a free for all drawer.

Yes. We actually sort of have two with differing sort of things. Mostly batteries, cords, random little tools, etc.

What befalls someone (family, I'm guessing are the people who live in your house?) who breaks the Touch-It-Once rule?
