9. When we celebrated our son's 23rd b'day

I used the leftover candles from a pack that spelled out “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations”. The leftover letters from his sister’s b’day cake (a week before) spelled “Orangutan”. So that’s what his cake said!

10. That's funny, Thank you very much woodsprite, I also have ib there a plastic bag of his baby teeth, Mom;s are like that

11. I have a dirty confession

My junk drawer is organized with small trays, and I have divided my junk into similar items - spare keys together. Rubber bands, twist ties together. Things like that. It's my "catch-all" drawer. Has pens, screwdrivers, coupons, twine even. All nice and neat.

I'm sorry. I have a sick mind.

[debm55]

12. Thank you for being so honest here. We appreciate it. I wish I was that organized. PS do you still call it a junk drawer

[Solly Mack]

14. My junk drawer is the most organized thing in my house.

I don't know why, it just is. I wish my other venues of storage would stay that neat with the same effort. Not so much though.

Tolja, sick mind.

13. I have an organized confession about my kitchen junk drawer

Several years ago I cut down a few canned cat food boxes and placed them on the right hand side of the drawer.


In one cut down box I have cleaning sponges and rubber bands. In another cut down box there are double A, triple A and 9 volt batteries.


The left hand side has easy access to tools like a hammer, several screwdrivers, steel wool pads, a sized variety of command hooks, and and several different grit of sand paper.


It's not perfect by any means but it's organized. I wish that I could say the same about the rest of the house.

[debm55]

15. What!!! Another organized junk drawer. Thank you Niagara for your honesty,

[Niagara]

16. That drawer got organized during the pandemic, Debbie Lol

If it makes you feel any better, I misplaced a pair of scissors over the weekend. I still can't find them.

[debm55]

19. OHHHHHHH, Now I feel better

[Niagara]

20. .......

[debm55]

18. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, Thank you ProfessorGAC

[beaglelover]

21. I cleaned out my junk drawer when we moved houses last year, but before then it would have been 100 or more

Zippo lighters. Now it's batteries for all the flameless candles we have around the house.

[debm55]

27. Were the litghters working? thank you Beaglelover.

[beaglelover]

31. No, they could have probably been gotten into working order, but I'm lazy, so when 1 stopped working I just bought a new

one.

[arkielib]

22. Rubber bands

I have 15 drawers in my kitchen and about half of them would be considered ”miscellaneous” drawers. And only I know what drawer any specific “miscellaneous item” is in.

[debm55]

28. Way to go , arkielib. I only have three drawers. One is for junk and I do mean junk. Heck there are Happy Meal toys in

there.

[3catwoman3]

23. All y'all have only...

...one junk drawer?

[debm55]

29. 3catwoman3, only three drawers in the kitchen. I have three drawers in the bathroom and they are all junk drawers.

24. You are not going to believe this.

Up until about four months ago, that was the exact same thing that I would have seen staring back at me! I finally threw it away because it was getting so old. Unbelievable. A birthday candle with the shape of the number '3'. It was white with blue and yellow trim. What color was yours?

[debm55]

25. Let me check , It;s still in there Hold on. OMG While looking for the candle I found a Birthday Button for his 4th

Birthday. The Third Birthday candle was the same colors. Birthday Button has a background of balloons with the #4 in the middle in white.

[Polly Hennessey]

26. A candle snuffer. Why did I buy it, I don't know.🤷🏼

I trim the wicks with scissors or my fingers.

[debm55]

30. Thanks Polly Hennessey. I should start a post called "Take one thing out of junk drawer and throw it away"

[OldBaldy1701E]

35. Funny you mention that.

I decided to buy one many years ago because I thought it would look nice on the mantle with the two candles that are always there. I never used it, but it sat there for a while. Then, someone with more sense than I have looked it one day and asked me why I had the speed pour wand on the mantle. I asked him what he was referring to. He held up the 'snuffer' and said that it was a speed pour wand for making drinks. It was then that I noticed the plastic liner in each side of the 'snuffer'.

Ooops. Glad I never used it!
