That drawer in your kitchen

[Crackle]

The one that all those odd bodds go into and you never open.

Well this morning I opened ours and retrieved:-

a) bowl of pennies and tuppence's
b) A pair of swimming trunks
c) a pencil case
d)A new phone case

So: Which one of those items was NOT claimed when it came out and what do you keep in your 'that drawer in your kitchen'?

 

[Globalti]

The same as everybody else, surely? Chloroform. Cleaver. Hammer. Drill. Chainsaw. Rubber gloves. Bin bags.

 

[Archie_tect]

Ah, the Michael McIntyre drawer!

 

[beanzontoast]

Got to be d) surely? I've bought my daughter 2 phone cases and she doesn't use either!

Radiator keys, a bottle of that black stuff you use for touching up the coal effect on gas fires, rubber bands, a plastic bag full of novelties from the last 5 years worth of Christmas crackers (why?...), recipes written on bits of paper, broken pencils, takeaway menus (some for places that still exist)...

It's scary opening that drawer... I try not to.

Oi! You've obviously stolen the contents of my kitchen drawer.

Oi! You've obviously stolen the contents of my kitchen drawer.

....and ours +

Keys for locks we no longer have.
Sheets of little round yellow and red stickers.
Self adhesive envelope that has lost it's stick and a 5p stamp.
A half empty clear barrelled biro that might work.
An old pencil rubber- half brown, half blue- that leaves marks on then paper when you try to use it.

A cuddly toy, a teasmade, a set of golf clubs, sliding doors.... conveyor belt.

Oi! You've obviously stolen the contents of my kitchen drawer.

You won't have to pack that lot up then, at least!

Spanner for pedal removal, head lights and rear lights for use in the winter, spare cable for brakes, spare inner tubes, small tin of WD40 type easing fluid, batteries, Chain lub, Bell for the bike, warm gloves for the winter.

I live alone in a small apartment on this project so all bike tools etc. are in the drawers in the kitchen area.

The thing that gets me is that the drawer magically fills itself.
We emptied ours 12 months ago and threw everything away. I've just looked, and all the stuff has come back, plus some new tat.

No-one has bought bendy straws, birthday candles, a ball of string and 2 broken rubber bands, but nevertheless there they are, looking at me.

 

[Ste T.]

I just checked ours and found a magnetic screw driver that I thought I'd lost.
Thanks Crackle.

 

[Norm]

I can't get ours open. It's so full that it has jammed.

Unfortunately, with Mrs F and my 3 daughters not having/having inherited my "a place for everything and everything in its place" gene, my whole flipping house is like that drawer

 

[CharlieB]

STUFFED full of red elastic bands. (Partner's a postie)
Empty staplers.
A single large ball bearing.
Those green velvet sticky pads you stick under things that you don't want to scratch the table top.
