I mean, with legos it's not even that bad, because the pieces look different; i have a nightmare box full of screws and nuts with diffrent size and thread i ripped from old stuff, finding the screw you need is an herculean feat
Around my parts we call that the Box of Miracles... It's where you go rummaging when you can't find the screw you need anywhere else.
I inherited several of those from my grandfather. They're a pain in the ass to size properly, but they can be really useful in a pinch. Especially the tiny ones.
