1. That one thing that prevents you from closing the drawer. -u/Setthescene
2. Keys for unknown locks. -u/Back2Bach
3. About four rolls of different tape that are never actually in the junk drawer when you need them. -u/kairosecide
4. A set of Allen wrenches that is missing the 2 most common sizes, but has duplicates of the ones you will never use. -u/Jesse0016
5. Random chargers. What does that go to? No one knows but we save it just in case we might need it again. -u/Black_Tears524
6. A screw that looks too important to throw out but you have no idea where it came from. -u/ArminTanz
7. Those felt circles for the bottoms of chairs. But you never have enough of any size to complete a set. -u/Annieline
8. That random Christmas decoration that was found way too late to be packed with the rest. -deleted user
9. Scotch tape so old it's yellow and fused unusable. -u/LaChanz
10. I found an old refrigerator magnet in one not long ago for a pizza place (Dominos) and the phone number didn’t have an area code. -u/DiscoMagicParty
11. Instructions for a product that either doesn’t need instructions (like a fan) or that you don’t even own anymore. -u/Alive-Singer-3432
12. Assortment of single batteries. -u/KyleClarkeFilms
13. One of those lighters with the long neck that hasn’t worked since the third time you used it. You check it every time you need a lighter and put it back in the drawer because “maybe I’m doing it wrong." -u/FastAndForgetful
14. A random deck of old playing cards. -u/puppet1987
15. Cleaning cloths that come with every new pair of sunglasses or screen protector. -u/BearlyBuff
16. No longer sticky post-its with random phone numbers and no names or a date and appointment time but not the appointment location. -u/Proper_Mud_5552
17. Flat head screwdriver. Also, a random assortment of birthday candles. -u/SuperDan523
18. Scissors. Bonus points if they have orange handles. -u/jemichaelson
19. Expired coupons. Allen keys. Random condiment packets. -u/fivezero_ca
20. Really unique, plastic piece that must have fallen off of something and is probably important to whatever is missing the piece which you're pretty sure you'll recognize where it goes as soon as you figure out where it came from. Oh, and a hidden thumbtack you always stab your finger on when looking for a pen. -u/smarmy_marmy
21. The scent. Every junk drawer has it. From decaying batteries to worn out rubber bands, random screws and nails, an ole matchbook. Once you've opened one, you know what I'm talking about. -u/riverweeds
22. Twisty ties. -u/pdxisbest
23. Wooden chopsticks still in the wrapper and napkins from the same restaurant just in case you run out of paper towels and need a dusty drawer napkin. -u/SingingTiger
24. Remotes for unknown electronics. Perhaps left over from the early 2000's. -u/Shop_Healthy
25. Several books of matches from clubs, bars, restaurants that have been closed over 20 years. -u/choopie-chup-chup
