"The Man Draw" - What's In Yours?

[Spore]

Dare I say it?
...

Shoes. The worst part is, I don't wear any but a few pair. They're just more expensive than the average thing, and its always nice to have a walking sandal, a dressy sandal, small heels, higher heels, clogs, slippers, sneakers, art shoes, dressier walking shoes...
I mean, I guess I do have occasions for 'em, but still.
I have way too many shoes.

One of my close friends has 125 pairs of shoes, can you beat her?

I can probably man-beat her... 26 pairs right here...

I dont really have a draw, I just have bits all across my room in different places. Under my desk I have an assortment of wires, cables and chargers for things im not even sure I still own.

Under my sofabed I have a box with...bart simpson bubble bath, some glass, golf balls (I dont play golf), some pokemon cards I dont think are mine, soap bars, an empty can of pepsi, some rubber thing that once belonged to something else, a laser pen that doesnt work, a broken rubiks cube, and loads more stuff.

Its all crap and should be binned, but I probably wont.

Someone been watching Micheal McIntyre?

You bet I have. It's true what he says, we just never realized it.

Haha. My boyfriend loves that bit.
I'm not sure if he has one, I know he has a drawer of broken CDs/DVDs though

 

[Aardvark]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I have stuff that I don't need stockpiled in various locations. When the inevitable council cleanups come, I bag it all up and dump it outside. The council workers take what the scavengers don't.

Every guy here has something known as the "Man Draw". This is one special draw in our house where we have things we don't need yet we keep anyway. We have currencies which aren't in use anymore in the draw, instruction manuals for things we don't have anymore, keys from houses we don't live anymore, batteries which hardly work etc... So many things are in the draw it's almost a sentimental tresure chest.

So what's in your "Man Draw"?

Sorry for being the OP quoter guy but I had to ask. how the fuck did you know I had keys to houses I no longer live in? I have keys that open up a "cue safe" at a pool hall that got burned down a decade ago.

Anyway, those keys, a poem i wrote in grade 6 to the love of my life, and my original game boy with tetris cartridge intact.

 

[Spacelord]

Well I'm in college, so... every part of my room I'm not currently occupying space in.

 

[Beltom]

Well, in the drawer next to my bed is a big pile of paper I keep meaning to use for something; a bottle of ink and a quill; a haggis whistle; several notepads filled with ramblings and half written novels; and a key who's use I'm not sure of.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Various shoeboxes secreted away in a closet. But I've been throwing a lot of stuff out lately. My room is tiny.

Oh don't worry, he's got one.

 

[The_Echo]

Trading cards from my younger years. Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digimon, Neopets, Bleach, Naruto. Hell, I even have Harry Potter trading cards.

 

[AvsJoe]

Up until recently, I had a little Lego man that resembled me, until I lost it (read: it got pinched by my little brother). That was my draw I guess.

 

[tehbeard]

1 Tub of assorted lego bricks.
No clue y, its just there next to the pc.
also Pokemon trading cards from back in the day when it was just 151 pokemon.
Actually what else is in here?


*Rummages*
Plutonium.
death ray control.
silly putty.

 

[Gerazzi]

My brother and sister... zing!

No seriously, everything in my sock drawer that isn't

A. Underwear
B. Socks
C. Souls

 

[Hitman 43]

I think I know what you mean. I'll take a quick look now because I haven't opened it in God knows how long.

OK we have:
Scissors
Phone Charger
x3 very old copies of Zoo Magazine
my CV
a manual for a stereo I don't have anymore
a pack of cards
the New Testament
lots of plecs
my chequebook
and a promotional XBM DVD, volume 07

Sounds about right. Yep, that's a man draw.

 

[sms_117b]

Well in my house its called the garage. Um currently my car and a 1966 Chevy Malibu SS which my roomie and i are working on...

That's a lovely car, I'm so jealous.

OT mine is a shelf, and it's full of random stuff, training gear, old meds, unopened letters, hair care products, old keys, old wallets. Loads of stuff I don't use anymore.

Trading cards from my younger years. Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digimon, Neopets, Bleach, Naruto. Hell, I even have Harry Potter trading cards.

I discovered my bag of the above just last week.... It's scarily heavy. I mean, seriously, what I could have done with all the money I spent on them...

I'm sad to say I have a man drawer. It has a load of game boy colour games in, gel pens (don't sniff the popcorn one) batteries (don't know what state they're in, didn't bother testing them), and loads of other things including a shocking number of keyrings, which I threw out and now need, damnit. That's precisely why you don't mess with the man drawer.

 

[jozcoz]

Usually just misc. bits of paper that I can't be bothered to deal with... and a few nick nacks

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I generally go through mine every few months, and pitch all the crap (it's a space thing combined with me not wanting random junk about my apartment). Though, I do keep cardboard shipping boxes. I break them down, so that they're flat, but I just put them in my closet. I'm not really sure why, maybe for when I move again, I dunno. I do have food I'll never eat, though, so I guess it's more of a cabinet?
