WHY

 

 

 

If anybody here does this (or if you know somebody who does), please enlighten me.

The only thing I can think of is that there's nowhere else to keep a box of tissues in a car, the box is too awkward shaped to keep in the glove box or side compartment of the door, or near the handbrake, or at the passengers seat on the floor, maybe in the back on the floor between both passengers feet, basically it will always get moved around. I just use those little plastic packets of tissues and I don't necessarily need them in the car more then anywhere else.

 

I'm thinking it's to do with having snotty little children in the back seats who can reach for them without spreading their human dust under the back of your seat.

*Insert obvious masturbation/semen joke*

 

But yeah it probably has to do with genitals.

:lol: My mother always has a box of tissues in the car but she keeps it inside the car drawer (don't know if this is the exact word in English). She likes to have it so that she can clean her hands when eating in the car and she also thinks it's useful to clean the car glasses when they get full of leaves.

Hope I helped solving part of the mistery!

That's true; although most of the times when I see it, there aren't any kids in the car.

Even if that's the case, why would someone keep it there to essentially "advertise" such in-vehicle behavior?

 

 

 

I usually keep tissues and/or napkins handy within reach in case of the rogue snotty sneeze at 80mph, and I typically use one when I'm pumping gas (nasty germs on the pump handle are nasty); but it wouldn't do me much good to keep them next to the rear window.

You know how a pair of tethered tennis shoes hanging on a power line is often representative of a drug dealer?

 

Maybe this is the one for a mobile meth lab like that chick in Arkansas whose car exploded or whatever

omg, its so true

 

and why, oh why this?

OMG GREAT THEORY

Or maybe K2/spice.

Or "bath salts".

I think the popo can pull you over and give you a ticket for that (if it's too high) since it obstructs your view and is a safety violation.

A bunch of balled up tissues in the backseat means "I live with my mother"

It's as good as craigslist :lol:

 

I'm not even American.

This is a great question.

I've never seen a tissue holder in the back like that before. :thinking: Hm.

This makes a lot of sense.

With tissues? I'd think that's way too flimsy of a material for such activities.

Good question. There's absolutely no sense/purpose in that.

:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

There may be some practical explanation to that, but it may be the case that some people just throw the tissue box there after using it.

 

Another thing about cars (one that probably doesn't have a practical explanation) is that, in my city (São Paulo, Brazil), a lot of people are using stickers representing their family members.

 

^ I think that's cute!

^^ We have those here too. Often they are stuck on a car driven by an unemployed soccer mom.

Might be it's cute, but I don't think it's cool to provide info about the number of your family members, children etc.

^While I can slightly see where you're coming from, wow you must be paranoid.

At first I thought they were amusing, but the novelty has worn off. It almost seems like bragging or something. And recently I saw a van with the ad-hoc family stickers and there were 7 kids (of various "sizes"). YAY, YOUR UTERUS WORKS! You want a gold star or something?!?

I keep mine in the passenger back seat floor...

^ That's actually a pretty good place; within reach, but out of sight.

When they're next to the rear window you'd need go-go-gadget-arms.

who calls them tissues...it's kleenex ppl.

^ Sorry, we Americans speak differently. :laugh3:

No it's Taschentücher! :angry:

My teachers have always told me to say tissues because Kleenex is a brand and we need to call things by their name and not their brand ok :angry:

:huh:

They put tissues back there so people like us will go on forums and wonder why they do that. :nod:
