Kicked to the Curb: Cutting Edge Parking

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.

I am still amazed at the variety of things I come across in America’s parking lots and on the sidewalks. When I drop something, I pick it up. I don’t just leave it there for people to walk around or to have them be inconvenienced.

Now I must admit that if I dropped something that was quickly biodegradable such as crumbs from a muffin, I would probably let that stay on the ground. Something gross, dangerous or unsightly, I would pick up to throw out!

So what happened here? How do you think this came to be in a parking space?



This most likely would not damage a car’s tire, but it certainly can hurt a child or someone else who might touch it.

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.
