Go to you junk drawer. Open . Peruse.
List 3 items.
Mine are:
Tape measure.
A roll of old scotch tape. I’m sure is all melded together.
A few triple A batteries, I don’t know the pedigree of.
(I know there’s much more in your drawers, but 3 is enough)
Is your tape measure the sewing kind or the carpenter kind? I have all those things in mine. Sewing kit. Small screwdriver. Faucet cartridge.
It’s a small carpenter one. It was in a pkg. of 3 tape measures, I got.
I’ve hung on to the smallest one forever. It’s so cute and as handy as a shirt pocket.
Heh, I may have a plumbing part or two in my drawer. Maybe some pipe glue.
I’m having significant difficulty with step 2….
The top drawer of my desk is a convenient receptable for all sorts of junk combined with important stuff. It contains a passport, birth certificates, and other such things, but also a whole pack of expired credit cards (why do I keep them? Who knows?) and even at least one that is still valid (but the RFID doesn’t work). Plus a roll of Scotch tape, a box of staples, a box of paper clips, and a bunch of Sharpies. Plus about a hundred more items, but that’s already way more than three!
A heavy-duty extension cord, a couple of homemade astrolabes, a big box of matchbooks. OK, it’s technically a junk box, but same thing.
Anoia, hear our prayers.
Take me off your prayer list please, I been running from Anoia, since I became aware of self. Ain’t done me no favors.
What my parents called the ohmygod drawer.
Jute twine
Stapler
Set of ring sizers
But surely as a Martian you would have at least one Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator somewhere in there? 
Stolen by some meddling earth creature. Still trying to replace it.
The three things at the top of the junk drawer were a silicone jar opener, a pair of needle nose pliers and a wooden school ruler with my kid’s name on it. I know more esoteric treasures lie beneath but I could waste an hour getting to find the cool stuff.
Yes. There’s a nail file that was supposed to have a lifetime guarantee.
My plan was to test the warranty. (Cause it wore out). But I needed to get the address. In the meantime it got swept up in a panic clean off the table event.
Lost to the ages, I believe down the abyss of the junk drawer.
A torch for soldering copper pipe, a huge pile of poker chips, and scotch tape. There’s a whole bunch of other shit in there, but you said the first 3.
I have several, but the closest one has:
Scissors 2 pair
Utility knife
Needle nose pliers
Two pairs of scissors.
Some Bic lighters.
A pair of safety glasses.
I think at the bottom there’s a bill that was paid in full 15 years ago and some twist ties, but you only asked for three.
