My one friend and I have been leaving odd gifts on my friend’s car with notes like “I think this fell out of your car” nothing of value. Nothing that can damage the vehicle.
A balloon filled with helium tied to the handle. (How did that “fall out”?)
A gallium coin (if it’s cold outside then it’ll stay solid and then melt when they put it in their pocket).
An opened (but unused) bandaid. The biggest one you can find. Stick it to the handle so it flaps around and they have to choose between touching the gauze (it’s clean, but they don’t know that) or the sticky part to pull it off.
A household smoke detector. Use a piece of string to tie it to the handle.
Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.
7 worms in a bag. They’re lucky.
Whenever you go into a gas station, buy a random keychain and put that on there. Watch your friend start drowning in keychains.
Christmas lights. Just all of them. All the Christmas lights all over the car. But make sure to thread them through the driver-side handle and include your “I think you dropped this” note.
Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.
Bonus points if you print out this comic and put it right next.
A gallium coin
This could be quite harmful though. Gallium reacts with metals like aluminum and steel in strange and destructive ways.
That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.
(For those not familiar with gallium, it’s basically mercury but safe; so it’s a liquid at room temperature but a solid just below that, depending on where you live, without the risk of Mad Hatter’s disease)
That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.
Until it leaks out of their pocket inside the warm car and drips onto the seat rails, or something similar.
Once in their pocket, if they are some kind of madman that doesn’t have a dedicated phone pocket and they have a phone with an aluminum frame, that’s a recipe for disaster as well.
Yeah I say we just scrap this whole gallium coin thing
A gallium coin!
One serving of peanut butter
They do make little 1-serving packets of PB, kind of like the ones for BBQ sauce or honey mustard. Sometimes you can find them at hotel continental breakfasts.
…continental breakfast ?
Powdered eggs, frosted flakes, raisin bread toast, waffle with jam instead of syrup
- one penny
- marbles (something something lost their marbles)
- a lego brick
- origami crane
- notes saying ridiculous stuff like “remember to water your car before you leave” or “this car belongs to [your name and address]”
- a very embarrassing mini figure like maybe barbie, winx club, things like that
Don’t dox it only takes one piece of shit for it to become a problem.
Oh you mean the handle outside of the door …
For some reason I thought the item holder in the car door that’s accessible from inside the car only.
Yeah no doxxing then, ofc.
A screw, bolt, nut, etc. that could feasibly have come from the car itself
A very tacky car freshener. Some are dirt cheap, the cardboard ones I’m talking about. Pick a design that is silly or ugly for them… Or maybe a fragrance that you know they’re not a fan of
A dozen wasps.
Level of aliveness is irrelevant.
What if he works at the Wasp Containment Facility?

First 5 things off the top of my dome:
a lego figure, woodwind reed, mahjong tile, plastic spider ring, a tiny canister of tic-tacs.
A couple spoonfuls of spaghettios. You know, as a snack.
Oo, a ziploc bag full of spaghettios
No. Just spaghettios.
Dog toys
A pocket dimension that warps back around to the car itself.
Where can I get one of those?
In your pocket
“I think you dropped this” and its just a big dollop of Vaseline right on the handle
Roll up a ‘trump 2024’ poster. Pikachu keychain. Pom Poms’ from the dollar store. Tie a pool noodle to the driver side doors (with a bow knot that can be undone easily). A really long striped stocking, hot pink or some neon color.
A half of a sandwich with a few bites taken out of it.
Meals that either came to naught or have a bite of nibbled rinds.
Hanging on the handle of your car door is your lunch today.
the time has come, the comment’s over.
Thought this would sound cooler than it does
An old shoe. Just one. You can even tie it on by the laces.
A banana.
