Trying to Get Pregnant

  • Loading the player...
  • A car seat. We turned around and added about 25 minutes to our drive just to double check that there wasn’t a kid in it. I really don’t understand how people just toss trash randomly. It drives me crazy.
  • I've seen a straight up couch. It's like you wonder what the plot was behind it all lol

    A rolled up carpet. My mind always goes so dark and I think their must be a body wrapped up in it haha. 
    @begging4abump I’ve seen a car seat too! And turned around to make sure no child was in it. 

    Im also always confused when I see a shoe. I don’t think I’ve ever lost just one shoe. 

    *edit to add more 
  • @verydisgruntledpelican0091 I have seen the occasional shoe up on the power lines.

    Which was from a movie or old TV show right? 🤔

    Also, every time there is a car bumper I always say this line from The Office

    @verydisgruntledpelican0091 I’m also always very confused when I see one shoe. Especially on the sidewalk! We’ve all had rough nights, but how’d you end up walking home with just one shoe? Haha 
  • edited May 2019
    @inthewoods23 I slightly remember the shoes on the power lines (atleast where I’m from) indicating a drug dealer worked that area or lived in that area. I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere 

    @b_1029 yes! Haha. The only thing that I can think of is those people who drive with a foot out the car window (maybe that’s another UO for today, people who can’t sit properly for road trips lol) that maybe their shoe goes flying off and whoever is driving refuses to stop. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 


    *edit to add tag 
  • We were driving home from Texas once & we saw a few onions... and then a mile down one of those red meshes of onions...and then a half mile down more of them...and then more and more until there were just onions everywhere. 
  • @kagesstarshroom That sounds like a dream because I LOVE onions lol. I would be pulling off on the side of the road like...

    at work right now and read your post and saw this in my stock room 😂😂 



  • @chichiphin that is really creepy!

    @begging4abump I would have turned around too because now with the world the way it is you can't be too careful

    I think I've seen too many crime shows because I always wonder if there is a dead body in wooded areas.

    Also with the shoes on the power line my ex-BF grew up in the Bronx and he said it was to mark territory.  I don't know if that's true or not but I believed him.
