Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

Apparently all men have drawers with rubbish in - whether it's phone chargers, tickets or old phones. So is it true here and is it just men? Do you have one, and if so what's in yours?

[Lucinda]

I'm not a man... but I do have a draw containing phone bills, phone chargers, gig tickets and various other crap.

However I only have the one draw full of crap. My housemate has about 6.

[FreakaZoid101]

I had 2 drawers of crap. Sorted out 1 drawer, now it's 1 drawer of crap and 11 boxes of other junk.

Yeah... I'd call that an improvement.

[KingTutsWWH]

Ahem spelling Jono. draws - drawers. When you consider that this word is also used to refer to mens' undies, you can understand why the first sentence of this thread made me laugh rather hard.

Edit: you wrote 'crap' as opposed to 'rubbish' originally!

[Andy B]

Yup - old bank statements, phone chargers for phones I had 4 years ago, pay slips. packets of chewing gum. 1 sock and various other things too.

[YoppaDo]

Yep, old letters and statements in one drawer with old computer stuff next to it (including an old broadband modem and DVD drive for some reason). Bedside cabinet is full of old CD's and games and really, really, old magazines.

You know a good topic, what's under your bed? Yikes, so much crap, and dust.

[DaNNiP15]

Im not a man but i have a draw full of rubbish i cant throw away it contains basic stuff that most people would throw away or sell or whatever. So its not just men!

[Grace]

All of my drawers bar two are full of rubbish that I'm too attached to, so I can't throw it out.

[tamba]

You may need it one day

I never have

[superchris0110]

Yup every single one, clothes draws and all... old packs of chewing gum, empty biscuit wrappers and a few other bits and bobs!

[SEANN]

I have several. Full of wage slips, stuff from the bank, around £10 worth of 2p coins, and all those irritating flyers you get thrown at you at gigs. I also have a lot of foreign currency lying around.

[sinister]

I have a garage full of crap that I know will only come in useful a couple of days after I dispose of it.

[goldengirl]

Yup - old bank statements, phone chargers for phones I had 4 years ago, pay slips. packets of chewing gum. 1 sock and various other things too.

:oops: *Is feeling very immature to be laughing about this*

[Lucinda]

As a point of interest, what are you supposed to do with all this crap if it doesn't go in a drawer?

I have: gig tickets, CDs, DVDs, spare printer cartridges, a dictaphone, 2 phone chargers, my old mobile, house keys for my parents' house, a key to the garden shed and a big organised file of bills and other important documents.

[Andy B]

Gig tickets, you should get a glass photo frame and stick them in there. My mate's got one, he has to use a HUGE frame now to hold them all....and possibly a key rack for haning keys on?

[Lucinda]

But keeping keys on a key rack means they are easy for someone else to steal. Sure, the keys to a house in London aren't particularly useful to a Nottingham thief, but even so. Plus I have no use for them right now. Oh and there's no point putting anything like that in a house I'm moving out of soon.

[Andy B]

A big ring for all your keys like american prison guards from old 60's films then!

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

Yup - old bank statements, phone chargers for phones I had 4 years ago, pay slips. packets of chewing gum. 1 sock and various other things too.

That really reminds me of my friend. I took her to our local court once (yep, that's what I do in my spare time, how sad ) and they searched her bag. It was hilarious, old sock, mouldy bananas, used tissues. *puke*

[KingTutsWWH]

So the handbag is the female equivalent of the male drawer? This analogy works quite well actually.

I hate to think what the boyf has in the drawers under the table. I just know they're full of total junk with the odd important bit here and there. Bit like my handbags really - God knows why I choose to lug all that crap about with me on a daily basis? Keeps me fit I s'pose.

[Andy B]

I once went out with a girl who carried everything in her hand bag. I once made her empty it all out. 4 year old bus tickets, empty makeup, club flyers, her p45 from the job she had last year. polos that looked so old that they probably cost 10p......I tried to throw some of it away and she stopped me!

thats like me....

[Lucinda]

The way I organise myself is sometimes more typical of a male way. For example, I don't often carry a handbag. I keep money, cards, keys and phone in my jeans pockets. The backpack I use for uni does tend to accumulate crap like various tablets I have to take, broken bits of pens, old lecture notes, bottles of water and sometimes even some food. I did find half a sandwich in my bag yesterday but luckily it had only been there a day!
