💬 The junk drawer won't close and it's been next weekend for months

The junk drawer in our kitchen has been a problem since March. It doesn't close all the way. You have to push it with your hip and hold it for 2 seconds. Then it clicks. I've said next weekend every Saturday for months. My mother has stopped asking. That's how I know. She just looks at the drawer and then at me. Nothing else needs to be said. Last Sunday I finally pulled everything out onto the dining table. Took 20 minutes just to empty. 3 Nokia chargers. A phone I don't own. 9 AA batteries, no idea which are dead. 14 keys. I tried each one on the door, the cupboard and the scooter. 2 worked. The rest don't open anything in this house. I'm scared to throw them away. Then I found passport photos of me at 19. Hair like a lion. A big moustache I forgot I had. My mother came in, picked one up, and laughed until she had to sit down. She said, you looked like a villain. I said, I looked like a student. She said, same thing. She took the photo and put it on the fridge. It's still there. I can't move it. I got rid of the batteries and the old receipts. Kept the keys. Kept the chargers too. The drawer closes now, just about. It still needs a small push but no hip. I've started a new box for the stuff I don't know what to do with. It's already half full. It's under the bed. I'll deal with it next weekend.

Nine AA batteries and no idea which are dead, I have the same drawer, only with 14 pens.

Mine is a box of old chargers. I cleared it 2 years ago and it's already full again. Your 14 keys made me laugh. I have 9 and I'm certain none of them fit anything.
