Often they themselves cannot explain what this thing is and why not get rid of it.
It all started with the usual Twitter post from British comedian Guy Kelly.
“So Twitter. Tell and show the most ridiculous thing you have. Something so vile and terrible that you can never get rid of, because you know – you will never have another such terrible thing again, ”he wrote. And he himself laid the foundation for the flash mob – he showed his wrist watch.
The clock, as we can see, is the size of a small saucepan. It seems like you can hide a minibar and a cage with geese inside. “I have normal human wrists,” Guy said, just in case. – I won this watch by accident and I just hate it. But I will never sell. “
Comments on the post fell as if from a sieve. The writer’s subscribers shared strange dolls that they have kept since childhood: someone had a toy made by a half-blind nanny, someone made a toy by their beloved aunt, who has long been dead.
The hit was a soft toy – not a duckling, not a frog, but an unknown animal. “This is Sid,” she introduced the others to the plush monster of its owner. Sid has the head of a giraffe, the trunk of an elephant, the body of a tiger, and the hind legs of a zebra. As the owner clarified, Sid also has a lion’s tail, and she adores this freak.
The picture was complemented by ridiculous figurines: for example, a cat made from shells. In the comments, I even found her twin brother – a dog from the same material.
A souvenir from the zoo, once bought for a pittance, still puzzles the whole family: “We are still wondering what kind of animal it is. But this is definitely my best buy. “
Another guy shared a snapshot of a figurine he found at his late grandmother’s house when he and his mother were sorting things: “I have no idea what it is, but my mother insisted that I take it for myself. I left it as a keepsake. “
“My daughter once gave me this alarm clock. She was then five years old. Now she is 12, and she cannot believe that she once chose them in a store and bought them. She asks almost every day what these ugly watches are doing in our house, ”says one of Kelly’s subscribers.
And the pictures? One of the subscribers boasted of a canvas found on the street – in her opinion, you need to be a complete scumbag to throw out such beauty. And another showed a portrait of her daughter: “The mother-in-law ordered it from her colleague, asked to draw in the style of Andy Warhol. And gave it to me for Mother’s Day. My daughter doesn’t like the portrait, but I adore it. ” Another spray-painted masterpiece was bought by the owner at a thrift store: “My child thinks this is a painting with ghosts.”
And a lot of other things: a souvenir presented by an old fisherman in France (the hand does not rise to throw it away), a ridiculous mug made with your own hands in a modeling lesson (the hostess is going to plant a succulent there, so that it was really scary), a creepy figurine of a French bulldog, a grater in the form of a court lady (seemingly comfortable) and even a “self-isolation songbook” called “Vorkuta”. What oddities do you keep at home?
