\u201c\u201cWhat is this little ramp thingy on the bottom of a lotion bottle?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>nohurrie32\u00a0<\/a><\/em>\u00a0replied: \u201cIt\u2019s for the manufacturing of the product so that it can be turned while standing up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

An odd little desk?<\/h2>\n

\"bed\/lap

\u201cWhat is this thing? The inside opens up to empty space, it\u2019s disconnected from the desk below.\u201d Reddit user\u00a0crunchsmash\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a bed\/lap desk. There\u2019s supposed to be a metal bar underneath that slots into the wooden tray, so you can prop it up at different angles for reading and stuff\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A strange wall decoration<\/h2>\n

\"soap

\u201cFound 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.\u201d Luckily, Reddit user\u00a0Happy_Cranker\u00a0had the answer:\u00a0\u201cThis is either a soap dish holder or toothbrush holder, but it\u2019s 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 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Odd things in doors<\/h2>\n

\"speakeasy\"

\u201cIt\u2019s called a \u2019speakeasy\u2019 and it\u2019s for talking to\u00a0someone without having to\u00a0open the door.\u201d<\/em>\u00a03rdCoastTxn\u00a0from Reddit replied to the question: \u201cWhat is\u00a0the purpose of\u00a0this little door in\u00a0the door?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy\u00a0girlfriend brought it\u00a0when we\u00a0moved\u00a0in. What is\u00a0this?\u201d It definitely tops the list of odd things we\u2019ve seen.<\/h3>\n
\n
\"abs

\u201cIt\u2019s an\u00a0abs exerciser.\u201d \u2013\u00a0jackrats\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

\u201cFound in house during a remodel. It\u2019s six inches long with a stone on the end. Google image search says it\u2019s a pin but the end is dull. Any ideas?\u201d<\/h3>\n
\n
\"pipe

\u201cLooks like a pipe poker tool for a pipe bowl.\u201d \u2013\u00a0KevOSinKS\u00a0\/ Reddit<\/p>\n

But\u2026why?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"clothes

\u201cMy\u00a0clothes pegs are all individually numbered. Why is\u00a0that?\u201d Reddit user \u00a03-cent-nickel\u00a0knew why:\u00a0\u201cDifferent molds have different numbers so\u00a0if\u00a0they start coming out of\u00a0the machine messed\u00a0up, they can identify which mold needs replacing.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Creepy!<\/h2>\n

\"grave

\u201cWhat is\u00a0this? Was doing some filling in\u00a0the yard and found this. Wife says it\u2019s a\u00a0gravestone. I\u00a0think it\u2019s a\u00a0survey marker.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0According to\u00a0kludge6730\u00a0from the Reddit thread: \u201cThat\u2019s a\u00a0grave marker. Not sure what the police\u00a0might\u00a0do\u00a0unless you think there\u2019s a\u00a0grave on\u00a0your property that you\u2019ve uncovered. Worth a\u00a0shot. Alternately perhaps an\u00a0office of\u00a0public health might be\u00a0able to\u00a0figure it\u00a0out. In\u00a0any case, it\u00a0would be\u00a0nice to\u00a0ensure that a\u00a0grave wasn\u2019t dug up\u00a0by\u00a0a\u00a0developer and the remains and someone just dumped as\u00a0fill.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is\u00a0this thing on\u00a0my\u00a0wall with a\u00a0round hole and a\u00a0small screen inside?\u201d Thankfully,\u00a0hybroid\u00a0knows exactly what these odd things are! \u201cIt\u2019s a\u00a0pool access alarm\u00a0to\u00a0detect if\u00a0the gate door has been left open mostly so\u00a0children or\u00a0pets don\u2019t wander in\u00a0and potentially drown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another bizarre find<\/h2>\n

\"cigar

\u201cWhat is\u00a0this box with arrows on\u00a0it? Found after an\u00a0event in\u00a0our facility, it\u00a0has no\u00a0power, no\u00a0plugs, just these arrows on\u00a0the top of\u00a0it.\u201d Reddit user\u00a0excalibur_301\u00a0seemed to have the answer to this one: \u201cThis is\u00a0a\u00a0cigar humidifier. You either put it\u00a0in\u00a0water\u00a0or\u00a0put\u00a0moisturizer\u00a0onto the arrows to\u00a0fill it\u00a0up, then place it\u00a0in\u00a0your cigar storage box to\u00a0keep them humidified.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

This one is a little scary!<\/h2>\n

\"DIY

\u201cJust bought a\u00a0house, found this hidden inside the front bushes. Screws in\u00a0a\u00a0wooden ball, looks like a\u00a0mace. What was\/is this used for?\u201dUser\u00a0HanakenVulpine\u00a0\u00a0said:\u201dThere is\/was a\u00a0trend of\u00a0making DIY Allium flowers out of\u00a0recycled metal and other scrap.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Have you seen one of these odd things before?<\/h2>\n

\"Pocket

\u201cWhat is\u00a0this thing on\u00a0this pocketknife? The first one has a\u00a0little spinning thing. What is\u00a0it\u00a0for?\u201d Reddit user\u00a0WestChip4887\u00a0\u00a0knew exactly what this was: \u201cPocket glass cutter.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Weird thing attached to a gate<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhat is\u00a0this thing bolted near the door of\u00a0our garbage disposal area in\u00a0Germany? It\u2019s a\u00a0bit bigger than my\u00a0fist. It\u2019s not a\u00a0lock.\u201d Don\u2019t worry, Reddit user\u00a0ruby_saves_the_day\u00a0literally saved the day with her response: \u201cIt\u2019s called a\u00a0Schl\u00fcsselrohr. The dumpsters are probably locked to\u00a0prevent dumpster diving and this contains the key.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n
