Check Out These Very Cool Collections That People Have

When I was young, I loved to collect things: matchbooks, baseball cards, hockey cards, all kinds of stuff.

As I’ve gotten older and I’ve moved around the country, I’ve kind of forgotten about my old collecting ways, but these pics kind of got me fired up!

Because these folks have all kinds of awesome collections that made me long for the old days of getting excited about STUFF.

Are you ready to see some totally unique collections? Take a look at these and we’ll see you in the comments!

That’s a good life decision!

2. Crows like to return the favor.

That is so cool!

Inspired by an old reddit post. I started feeding bar nuts to these crows that are regural to the patio of a bar I work at. My collection of gifts finally started after 3 months. from pics

People Showed Off Their Very Unique Collections

I wish I had the space to collect all things I want to, but that’s just not realistic…if I did acquire all the stuff I wanted, I’d need an enormous house…and probably about three or four storage spaces.

But it’s something to shoot for, I guess!

In the meantime, I’ll keep collecting just a little bit here and there…books, records, movie posters, etc.

Hey, it’s fun to collect things that are important to us. And we’re pretty impressed with these unique collections that people were nice enough to share.

Let’s take a look!

1. No games were harmed.

This is totally awesome!

This is my Gameboy mosaic made out of Gameboy games! Note: No games were harmed and all are removable and playable! from gaming

2. From out on the links.

They’re all ugly in their own way.

4. He’s very organized.

And very busy, by the looks of it.

6. Spoons for days.

Hey, everyone has their thing.

My aunt has a spoon collection that has a tiny spoon collection right above it. from mildlyinteresting

7. Let’s see what he’s been digging up.

All kinds of cool stuff.

That’s always a good look.

And I like the way she keeps it organized.

My game collection is finally out of storage! Wife surprised me by building shelves as an anniversary gift today from gaming

12. I love this one!

I’ve been everywhere, man.

And remember to check your tires!

People Show off Their Very Unique Collections

I’ve gotten away from collecting a whole bunch of stuff, but I do still like to acquire a few things here and there: mostly records and old movie posters.

But I used to collect TONS OF STUFF when I was a young lad: baseball cards, hockey cards, matchbooks, and a plethora of other cool things.

I guess when you get older and move around, you start to lose stuff along the way. But I think these photos might have renewed my spark in collecting things, because they are pretty awesome.

Let’s take a look!

1. Pieces of history.

Wow! Those are really cool.

Some of my favorite arrowheads. Amazing little pieces of history collected on our private property in southern Arizona. from interestingasfuck

2. Sea glass is quite beautiful.

Look at all those colors.

Keep up the great work!

Rubber duckies for days!

Or else you’re gonna be completely lost.

I helped my dad alphabetize his vinyl collection… from oddlysatisfying

I’m gonna have to buy some new PEZ dispensers.

What Are the Unique Daily Rituals You Do? People Shared for All to See.

When you live with someone, that’s when you realize that everyone’s daily rituals are so unique…and some of them could even be considered weird.

This person could either be a roommate or a significant other, but either way you’re now plugged into another human being’s routine..for better or for worse.

But hey, to each their own, right?

We’re all weird in our own ways and, even if you think you aren’t, you’re weird too. And so am I!

That’s why this Twitter thread about peoples’ unique daily rituals is a lot of fun to read. Let’s take a look!

1. Watch out for the bear!

That was a close call.

every time our satnav says “bear left” or “bear right” my boyfriend and I will look around frantically going “there’s a bear?!?!”. Been doing that for 6 years, don’t think it’s going to get old.

— Roslyn – Copytyper Travels (@copytyper) February 1, 2019

2. The rubber duck.

But don’t speak of it…

I share a flat with my lovely mum. There is a tiny, old rubber duck in our bathroom, and every day, one of us will plant it in the other’s things for the other to find. We never speak of the rubber duck. It’s just a ritual.

— Sarah Louise (@sarahlou_iorua) February 1, 2019

3. What did you do this time?

Are you ever gonna learn?

Whenever a helicopter goes overhead my wife always says ‘they’re out looking for you again’.

— Persona Non Grata (@pearofdestiny) February 1, 2019

4. I fully support this.

I mean, don’t you…?

Every morning I, or my girlfriend (depending on who gets up first) sings a “good morning song” to our pet rabbit, to let him know his breakfast of parsley is on its way.

— Pete Strange (@petestrange) February 1, 2019

5. A minute in either direction.

Maybe this is a smart thing…

I tie my shoelaces before every car journey so I’m a minute or so behind where I’m meant to be on the road, thus dodging fate.

— Baby Jesus (@JCautomatic) February 1, 2019

6. Time for you to go back inside.

She just wants a quick jaunt.

Every day, dog and I leave for our walk through the back door. Cat wakes up then follows through the cat flap. I have to let her back in through the front door or she follows us on our walk. She goes back to where she was sleeping and waits for us to return. Every. Single. Day. pic.twitter.com/bM3mg5P3o7

— hilly (@makesbakesfakes) February 1, 2019

7. Every day.

A nice ritual.

Every day, on my way to bed, I head into the 4yo’s bedroom and rotate him (he will be upside down and on top of the covers) while removing all the pieces of the Lego policevan that he’s gone to sleep cuddling. Rebuilding it and placing it on his bedside table

— Gibbon (@gibbymcdibby) February 1, 2019

8. Sing along!

Sounds like fun!

When we get breakfast, we sing ‘Let’s get cereal! Cereal!’ to the tune of let’s get physical.

— Martin Cowles (@martincowles) February 1, 2019

9. This is for the Dear Leader.

Show some respect!

Our washing machine is from South Korea and chimes a little melody when a drying cycle is finished. My girlfriend and I decided that it is in fact playing the North Korean national anthem, so whenever it goes off we solemnly stand with our hand over our heart staring into space.

— Michel Levien G. (@Michel_Levien) February 1, 2019

10. I’m home, Mom…

Well, isn’t that nice?

I have to text my Mum when I get in from work so she knows I’m safe. I’m 51.

— Cisco Ventura (@cisco664uk) February 1, 2019

11. Telling stories.

All the animals are getting involved.

Every time our cat or dog makes a noise we say ‘they didn’t!?’ If they ‘reply’ we follow up with ‘they never!?’ and ‘what, today!?’ and so on, like they’re telling us an amazing story. This has now escalated to any animal we come across. Pets, cows, zoo animals…

— Andi T (@Andreatlr) February 1, 2019

12. Don’t fall in.

An old classic.

This is my husband’s. If I say I’m going to the loo, he’ll always reply “Don’t fall in.” We’ve been together 15 years and I haven’t fallen in yet, so I suppose it works.

— Cal Wilson (@calbo) February 2, 2019

13. Time to split up.

But it won’t be forever…

When I go shopping with my husband we often go into different shops and Every Time I say “I think the time has come for us to split up” and he replies “are we separating ?” And I say “yes, but let’s meet up later and get back together”. Always.

People Share the Unique Things They Have in Their Homes

What’s the rarest thing you have in your house?

I’m talking about something you have in your home that most people definitely don’t have in theirs…

It could be worth a lot of money, or maybe it’s something that is priceless only to you.

AskReddit users opened up and talked about the rare items they own.

Enjoy!

1. He is missed.

“I got an autograph from Chef Anthony Bourdain.

His was just about the only celebrity death that had a real impact on me.”

2. Memories from my grandfather.

“I have a large storage container filled to the top with McDonald’s toys. Before my grandfather passed away he would go and get a coffee every morning and would get me a toy from there when he got a coffee.

I’ve kept them ever since. I can bring myself to part with them. I have full collections of the Monsters Inc toys, the Lilo and Stitch toys, Winnie the Pooh, Beanie Babies, etc. 90’s and early 2000’s toys. That man was a saint, and my hero.”

3. Talkin’ about money.

“An uncut currency sheet.

It is 50 1 dollar bills that were never cut when the came out of the US Mint.”

4. That is unique.

“8 different copies of the secret garden by Frances Burnett.

It is not my favorite book. I first recieved and read a copy of it when I was 9, so it is a very sentimental book for me.

I have so many copies because I enjoy collecting the more beautiful art styles that it gets published in. As a classic it gets republished very frequently so to prevent me from just buying way too many copies I re-read the book everytime I buy a new one.”

5. How did that happen?

“A balloon that was inflated a couple days before I was born. 17 years later and it has barely lost any air.”

6. Now, that’s old!

“An antique ship anchor from the year 1597.

Dredged up from The river Maas.

Its not a huge anchor from a full sized manowar or something. Those were the size of a house. I think this was from a fishing vessel or a small trade vessel for river trade here in the Netherlands.

Not found by me unfortunately but I bought it from the man who did. Found in the ’70s.

The date it was made is on the anchor. And the mark on it is a kind of “house mark” these marks were used by rich but not noble families, no cost of arms, to mark stuff that was theirs.

Around 60 kg but it’s a guess.

Height: 124 CM Width: 81 CM.”

7. That’s…different.

“A collection of human teeth stuck on a candle.”

8. A piece of history.

“A piece of the Berlin wall.

I have a chunk on my dresser. I got for my mom when we visited Germany last summer because she told me stories of when she lived there, touching the wall was a quick way to get shot. I wanted her to be able to touch the wall and not get shot, so I brought some wall home for her!”

9. Sounds like a classy dwelling.

“A neon sign that says Fuck.

And I’ve got a small version of the leg lamp from A Christmas Story.”

10. That’s rare, indeed.

“A have a custom made Harry Potter wand.

I worked on the Fantastic Beasts 2 film (part of the Harry Potter Universe) and was gifted it by the director and producer. It has my name on it too.”

11. Family heirloom.

“An opal ring that has been passed down in my family for generations.”

12. All kinds of stuff.

“I’ve probably got quite a few, I have a few rather large lumps of obsidian, an alligator’s head, some nearly 100 year old books too.

Two music boxes made to look like San Francisco cable cars, also got an Albert Einstein bobble head (like the ones from Night at the Museum 2).”

13. Gettin’ wild!

“My 80+ Hawaiian shirt collection.

Yea, I’m boring like that.”

14. Signed and all…

“I’ve got a book signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt. I bought it at a used book store for a dollar because it looked cool. Flipped through the first few pages and there it was! It is an inscription from him to his advisor, given as a gift.

Had it authenticated by a Vanderbilt expert (I lived near one of their mansions at the time, and there were several historical sites and museums there with people who knew more than I did)

So that was a fun find.”

15. House of horrors.

“The foot from a real human skeleton. Six human incisors. A mummified bobcat heart. An alligator skull. A muskdeer skull. A human shoulder blade.

A light-up, car-top “funeral” sign, like the one on Joe Bob Briggs fridge, a water buffalo skull, a Cthulhu glow in the dark bank.

I really, really like weird shit.”

16. I’d love to read those.

“Letters written by my great-great-grandfather to his wife in 1917, while he was POW in Russia as part of Austro-Hungarian army at the end of WWI.”

17. Snap into a Slim Jim!

“I have a Macho Man Randy Savage head that was used as a Slim Jim display down at work.

We got an extra one and I asked for it so now he just sits at my desk arms folded staring menacingly, holding pens in the part the Slim Jim would go.”
