Just one?

Batteries, deck of cards, thumb tacks, rubber bands, a pen, birthday candles, twist ties, a Phillips head screwdriver small enough to do all the little kid toys that need one, a flashlight and some hand sanitizer

Of course. Where else would I store my rubber bands, coupons, screwdriver, address book, paper clips, ruler, scissors, twist ties, address labels, scrap paper, push pins, three pennies, glasses repair kit, letter opener, keys that i have no idea what they open, candy, dog collar, and old flip phone.

Beat me to it.
One is exclusively cords and electronic type stuff (so, electronic junk) and the other is a hodge-podge (pens, scissors, notepad, maybe a battery or 4, other crap (true junk).

Went with yes. Have a drawer that’s mostly batteries, charging cords and some small screw drivers.
however we also have a tray in our silverware drawer that has rubber bands and other random stuff. Also keep lottery tickets, gift cards, a few dollars in cash in there too. And coupons

Do you have a junk drawer? Pfffft, please.
This poll only makes sense if it later gets edited like the ol' Free For All classic Coach K vs ISIS results.

A junk drawer? We have one just for menus. And a pair of kitchen scissors.

My wife getting rid of ours regularly adds unneeded strife to our relationship. Now the random things that were found within 2 minutes of rummaging through the junk drawer are scattered throughout our home and take weeks to find, or I just buy a new one. We have about 4 tape measures now.

it's more of a junk cellar. you're aging the materials for your kids to enjoy.One??? There are probably 4 or 5 in this house and I have no idea what is in 4 of them

The one we have in the kitchen is now almost totally worthless because my wife put some packet filled with tiny craft-related glitter in it.

I have a dedicated drawer for wheat pennies but wouldn’t call it a “junk drawer”

I’m kind of anal about things and like for everything to be in it’s place. I voted no but In reality there’s some things that just don’t have a standard place to go.
One thing I learned a long time ago - don’t hoard and don’t keep things “just in case” or “maybe I’ll use it one day”. Has kept our house somewhat clutter free even with 6 people and 2 dogs.

I contest that 98% of the crap in our house is junk but every time I bring that up to the wife, we get into an argument.

my wife has 3. I have none. If it's in a junk drawer it belongs in the trash. As does half the other crud she's bought over the last 23 years.

Yup. I think we have about a dozen $1 tape measures and scissors scattered around the house. Every time I can't find one in the junk drawer I go to the dollar store and buy 2-3 more.
