Hilariously, I’ve never had to clean out my own closet or drawers as I keep little other than mementos and tax documents. Every time I’ve experienced this, it’s been at someone else’s expense. Should’ve kept a clean drawer, Shelly. Now your random drawer is a random kitchen.

I’m a good house guest and you should leave me alone with your things.

But then where will i put all these still working cables of devices that broke?

[–] kubica@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

I know where to put them, I have a special place for them, but I used a cable 8 months ago for something that I don't quite remember and it could be something that I want to resume when I remember it, so I can't just put the cable back yet.

Do what I do- Have I touched this thing in the last 6 months? If no, garbage bag.

Makes cleanout fast and easy.
