โ€œWhat is this thing? The inside opens up to empty space, itโ€™s disconnected from the desk below.โ€ Reddit userย crunchsmashย said:ย โ€œItโ€™s a bed/lap desk.

โ€œFound in a house we just bought. Made of metal and screwed into the wall, has a hole in the middle. Located in bathroom by shower.โ€ Luckily, Reddit userย Happy_Crankerย had the answer:ย โ€œThis is either a soap dish holder or toothbrush holder, but itโ€™s missing the middle part that held the ring. Does that make any sense in the context of where it is located in the bathroom? Could have been a holder for a hand towel as well. I remember seeing these in houses from the 60โ€™s and 70โ€™s.โ€

Odd things in doors

โ€œItโ€™s called a โ€™speakeasyโ€™ and itโ€™s for talking toย someone without having toย open the door.โ€ย 3rdCoastTxnย from Reddit replied to the question: โ€œWhat isย the purpose ofย this little door inย the door?โ€

โ€œMyย girlfriend brought itย when weย movedย in. What isย this?โ€ It definitely tops the list of odd things weโ€™ve seen.

โ€œMyย clothes pegs are all individually numbered. Why isย that?โ€ Reddit user ย 3-cent-nickelย knew why:ย โ€œDifferent molds have different numbers soย ifย they start coming out ofย the machine messedย up, they can identify which mold needs replacing.โ€œ

โ€œWhat isย this? Was doing some filling inย the yard and found this. Wife says itโ€™s aย gravestone. Iย think itโ€™s aย survey marker.โ€ย According toย kludge6730ย from the Reddit thread: โ€œThatโ€™s aย grave marker. Not sure what the policeย mightย doย unless you think thereโ€™s aย grave onย your property that youโ€™ve uncovered. Worth aย shot. Alternately perhaps anย office ofย public health might beย able toย figure itย out. Inย any case, itย would beย nice toย ensure that aย grave wasnโ€™t dug upย byย aย developer and the remains and someone just dumped asย fill.โ€

Found after anย event inย our facility, itย has noย power, noย plugs, just these arrows onย the top ofย it.โ€ Reddit userย excalibur_301ย seemed to have the answer to this one: โ€œThis isย aย cigar humidifier. You either put itย inย waterย orย putย moisturizerย onto the arrows toย fill itย up, then place itย inย your cigar storage box toย keep them humidified.โ€

This one is a little scary!

โ€œWhat isย this thing bolted near the door ofย our garbage disposal area inย Germany? Itโ€™s aย bit bigger than myย fist. Itโ€™s not aย lock.โ€ Donโ€™t worry, Reddit userย ruby_saves_the_dayย literally saved the day with her response: โ€œItโ€™s called aย Schlรผsselrohr. The dumpsters are probably locked toย prevent dumpster diving and this contains the key.โ€œ
