My cable drawer got 3 inches shallower after I stopped buying cheap chargers
I tossed out 14 dead micro-USB cords from a shoebox under my desk in Portland last week. They were all 2-for-$5 gas station buys that died within 6 months. Replaced them with two braided cables and a 4-port hub, and now the drawer actually closes. Has anyone else noticed how much space bad cords eat up before you finally admit it?

14 cords is nothing, I finally cleared out my junk drawer in the kitchen last month and counted 22 dead ones plus a tangle of mystery cables I couldn't even name. It's wild how they pile up without you noticing, they just breed in the dark down there. My husband kept saying we might need them someday and I kept believing him, which is how you end up with a drawer that won't shut. The cheap ones always die right when you need them too, so you're stuck at 11pm hunting for one that still works. Two good braided cables would've saved me years of that nonsense if I'd just admitted it sooner.
