What Does Your Junk Drawer Say About You

Philip Theibert
What is in your junk drawer and what does that say about you? I have a very small junk drawer but it contains, hmm, let's just say interesting stuff. I live alone, so I cannot blame anyone but myself for the contents of my junk drawer.

Here is what it contains:

A Spiderman note card with a close-up of Spiderman's face on front and inside it says THANKS

A picture of an old girlfriend standing next to a piano with the biggest flower bouquet I have ever seen.

A yellow envelope for the Spiderman Thank-You card.

Two AC Delco AAA batteries. They are heavy duty. Or in Spanish - Larga Duracion. It says so on the box.

An empty 200 ml plastic bottle of Canadian Mist. Could it also double as cologne ? Probably not a good idea.

A ¾ filled tube of Original Shoe Goo.

An old cell phone with duct tape holding the battery on.

A pair of dollar store sunglasses - they have to be dollar store as that is where I buy all my sunglasses.

A photo of me taken by another ex-girlfriend. I am standing in a garden somewhere? Why and what was I thinking?

My Sam's Club Card., my social security card, my library card., Triple A card. I took them out of my wallet before going on a plane trip.

A pack of 7 Yarn Darners to me. They look like big sewing needles to me.

A spoon.

Another small whiskey bottle.

80 birthday candles. In a small box. Who needs 80 birthday candles?

My business card.

A very small battery. The pack says Mercury 377.

Another fork.

A can opener.

Another pair of sun glasses.

A pack of rubber bands.

A needle and thread.

Part of a Spiderman toy.

Cheese grater.

Nylon Pan Scapper

Another picture of another ex skiing. Did we ever ski?

Colored Bandages.

Small can of Wd-40.

Another used cell phone.

A watch with half the watch band missing.

A porcelain cupboard handle.

A kitchen knife,

A traveling sewing kit.

A small pen for my pocket that does not write.

A Phillips Screw Driver.

A bottle of Kiwi Instant Wax Shine. Color Brown.

Another pen.

Scissors

Another fork. Why do I keep putting forks in the junk drawer?

A small packet of Splenda.

A small packet of Taco Bell sauce.

An Allen wrench.

Half a packet of Rolaids.

Fishing tool for cutting the line and removing fishing hook.

Odd keys.

Shotgun shell.

Half a cigarette. And I don't smoke.

Old picture of another girlfriend standing on porch looking perturbed.

Small screwdriver - for eye glasses ?

Mint.

Shrimp skewer.

Anyway - it is what it is . What is in your junk drawer?

    My husband has 3 junk drawers and he can never find anything. I have a junk room and I know what's in it!

  • Sandy Rothra 9/9/2010

    I would never reveal the contents of mine.

    Gosh, you have more interesting stuff in your junk drawer than I do in mine. Hey, maybe the one girlfriend looks perturbed because there are so many other girlfriends' pictures in the drawer. Again, nice work.

    You could blame the Goddess Anoia - who, per Terry Pratchett, also rearranges junk drawers so they won't open, and tangles cords.

    My junk drawer? I have a "junk room!" - Why do you keep the pics of the ex-girlfriends? And, did you give the first one the "biggest bouquet" or did someone else? Just curious. cheers :)

    Hmmm ... you do realize that MacGyver could assemble the space shuttle with these items, right? So, if you want to get rid of the stuff, just pack it up and send it to Lee Zlotoff ...

  • Mike Oberg 9/5/2010
