You can never have too many:
I'll start: extension cords. Of various types and lengths. Now you--you can never have too many:

You can never have too many wax earplugs.
You will lose half-full boxes. Your cat will chew the ones you left in reach because 5 years is not enough to teach you that lesson. The one time you are absolutely, completely, nowhere-else-to-look out of earplugs, your parents will have a horrible row that you really did not need to hear as you were mentioned in it and you can't forget it even though they both have the nxt day.

You can never have too many bungee cords. I love them for stowing the camping equipment in the back of my truck; they keep boxes and containers closed that won't stay shut; their uses are endless. And let's not forget bungee jumping!

Scissors - I try to keep on in every room because I hate hunting around for them
Reading glasses - same strategy as scissors, because no matter where I put a pair down, I can never find them |

So I went to get a pair of Transitions lenses for my recent vacation. Guess what? Those take at least 10 days to be shipped in from an external laboratory. What about the prescription, stand-alone sunglasses? Sorry, those aren't done in-house either. Lenses have to be cut at the manufacturer. News flash: you can't just walk in and buy ANY KIND of prescription sunglasses. Don't believe the commercials. I ended up getting $20 sunglasses at Walmart that go OVER my regular glasses. Those worked great, until day 2 of my drive back home, when the earpiece just fell off. The plastic failed after about two weeks of moderate use.
