1.Pens and Pencils: The Go-To Writing Tools
Start rummaging through any junk drawer, and you’re bound to find a variety of pens and pencils. Some may be missing caps, others barely have any ink left, but they all seem indispensable. These writing tools are essential for quick notes and reminders but often end up in the junk drawer after being misplaced from their original spots on desks or pencil holders.
2.Scissors and Random Office Supplies
Scissors are another common find, often paired with an assortment of other office supplies like tape, glue sticks, and staplers. While their original storage places are long forgotten, the junk drawer becomes their temporary home, ensuring you never have to search far when in need of a quick cut or paste.
