Way back on Thursday, just after I purchased my coffee maker, and shortly before I purchased the chicken burrito that I was planning on devouring for lunch, I came across the scene pictured above. Just a few weeks earlier and I probably wouldn’t have seen it for the snow.
I definitely thought it worth a picture, but then it started a storm of questions and ideas in my brain. These included, but were not limited to:
- Why were there so many?
- Did this person just add a new one to the mix every month or so?
- Was this person’s car so incredibly dank and stinky that they needed all of these at one time?
- I didn’t know they still sold these things.
- When they threw these ones out, did they replace it with another one or another dozen?
- Why did they throw them on the ground? There are several trashcans close by.
- What was their budget for these things?
- Just how big an obstruction to sight were these things?
- Was blue their favourite colour?
- How close is the smell of these things to real “new car smell?
As you can see, the firestorm did erupt in my brain. I wouldn’t call this Today’s Perfect Moment, but it was interesting.
Hoarder? Robber? Just plain poor taste?
I often have such random thoughts run through my head about stuff so it’s a thrill when someone else shares their random thoughts on their blog. I would like to know the answers as well, but of course we never will.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I am sure other people just look at me, shake their heads, and utter a “who cares?”
I cannot help my internal monologue. I think that is why I like Kurt Vonnegut novels. He writes things that I think.
On another note, I went to the Dollar Tree, but no special coke flavours. I was quite disappointed.
Oh man. Sorry about the lack of Orange Vanilla Coke at the Dollar Tree! I do not know Kurt Vonnegut! I mean I’ve heard of him, but have never read anything of his.
If you have time Bluebeard or Slaughterhouse five are great books. Vastly different, but amazing.
I’ve heard of Slaughterhouse Five so I looked up Bluebeard on Goodreads and will go with that one. I’m curious to find out what Rabo is hiding in his potato barn!
I think you made a good choice.
In my experience, that’s an indicator that some has marijuana in their car a regular basis, they think it hides the smell, it does not. Lol
Maybe with legalization, they no longer think it necessary.
I expected the weed smell to be everywhere, but so far, it hasn’t been bad. I guess Canadians are maintaining their habits. Maybe things will change when beer patios open—though I hope not.
I have actually seen someone have a ton of those hanging up in their car… I think they replace it every time the smell fades but never threw them out until finally, they chucked it out the window because it obstructed their view.
That seems likely to me…but how many does it take to obstruct your view? I find one annoying.
