Kicked to the Curb: Parking with a Smile

Description: I don’t know if you have looked down at the roads and parking lots when you travel, but there are some very interesting items being discarded in these areas. I decided they were worth recording and perhaps discussing a bit. It seems that our current culture is leaving some interesting finds for future anthropologists.

Continuing our “Kicked to the Curb” series I ask if you can identify this item found in a Lowes Home Store parking lot in Phoenix, AZ. What is that item to which the yellow arrow is pointing?

If you haven’t guessed, it is a toothbrush.

Of course it is hard to say how much of that wear and tear is from dental hygiene usage and how much is from parking lot abuse. One might also question how this item arrived at this particular location; Hmmm!

Kicked to the Curb: Razor Blade Runner

Description: I don’t know if you have looked down at the roads and parking lots when you travel, but there are some very unusual items being discarded in these areas. I decided they were worth recording and perhaps discussing a bit.

It seems that our current culture is leaving interesting finds for future anthropologists.

While parking at our local grocery store, I saw a broken razor blade just off to the side of my front tire. It was curious to find this artifact at this location and it raised several questions in my mind.

  • Why was the razor there?
  • What was it used for at this location?
  • Did it fall?
  • Was it discarded on purpose?
  • Why wasn’t it picked up after being dropped and discarded properly?

It is truly a puzzle.

**NOTE ** the white line is the dirver’s side parking lot stripe. The car’s tire was less than six inches to the right of the razor blade.
