Junk Drawer

Do you have a junk drawer at your house?

According to Wiktonary, a junk drawer is defined as a drawer designated for the storage of various miscellaneous, small, occasionally useful items of little value.

I think most people reading this right now have that one drawer, most likely in the kitchen, that is home to all different kinds of things. I know that at my place one of the first things I did when I moved in was designate a drawer for all of my junk. You know, a place for loose batteries, pens, tape, any random screw that I find on the floor and so much more.
