    Let’s see you got the batteries that may or may not have charge, bottle of pills, you got the dried up tube of superglue, loose fixed blade knife…

    Yeah looks like you got all the basics.

    I’d recommend thou that some of those screws should be lose and rattling around the drawer, and see if you can’t get a key to an old Chrysler to throw in as well. Or maybe some pogs ( or a Pokémon card. The rarer the better)

      Oh definitely. I did notice you’re missing a couple of rubber bands that are so old they’re kind of - melted? Or something?

        If you want the melted rubber bands you got to throw in the bottle of goo-gone that’s just coated in oil. The rubber bands should be stuck to that bottle.

          Fair point. Oh, and the ancient ziploc with ??? in it.

            The baggie needs to need worn enough to get opaque, so any time you want to remember what’s in it you have to open it and look again.

            what if instead of a wine and art class there was a place you just go with your friends, make a bunch of pogs, drink beer and play pogs again.

    Are those two identical potato mashers? Those will do very nicely to eventually fill the roll of “why the fuck won’t this drawer open??”

      Yep, and he even remembered a loose knife! That way when you’re fishing your fingers under to try to get the drawer unblocked you can slice your hand open.

      Classic junk drawer.

    TIL there are people who don’t have a junk drawer in their kitchen.

    What’s next? Having a fridge without a freezer? A bathroom without a towel rack? A bedroom without a closet?

    Very nice but you realize it’s going to grow, right? I recently repacked my junk armoire to make some space for actual clothes.

    That’s a terrible junk drawer. Totally needs a few rubber bands, some paper clips, a thumb tack and a small screwdriver that won’t fit any actual screws. The anti-diarrhea medicine is on point though.

      It’s also missing appliance manuals, screwdrivers and a hammer, plus random fast food sauce packets and straws.

          Hey I don’t intentionally put them there. They just end up there sometimes, okay? :P

          That said, I know someone who intentionally puts their sauce packets in the junk drawer. But FWIW they stick them in plastic zipper bags first.

        That’s why the paper clips live in the junk drawer forever, instead of doing the job they were meant for!

          Paper clips are totally useful, they make a quick antenna in a pinch, they can be bent into all sorts of other shapes to make random tools.

          Also you are missing some bread ties

    It’s not realistic.

    • Remove contents of plastic bag and randomly toss them around.
    • Need dozens of loose rubber bands, half of them dried up, and at least one frayed USB cable.
    • That medicine better be at least two years past expiration date.

    Kudos on the loose, sharp knife.

    You need to make sure that the macerator is in such a position that you’ll never be able to get the drawer back open.

    Also get a big jar and throw in a bunch of small random metal objects like nails, screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and anything else that looks like it could hang out in this crowd. If you assemble IKEA furniture, just use this jar as a dumping place for all the spare parts and hex keys.

    Good attempt, though the hand blender needs to go at the back of the corner cupboard, just near enough that you can still see it, but far enough back that it’s a pain to get out without removing several other items. Pills go in the medicine cupboard.

    I have the same stick blender, it works pretty well - spouse made me use it to make coffee foam today even.
