Now who would throw out a perfectly good white boy?
Rarely do I ever pick things up off the ground while doing my job.
I’m a pilot.
I have found multiple bongs and paraphernalia, but pretty much everything in my house is from other apartments. My couch, bed,dishes,glasses,cookware,desk,chairs,a bottle of wine, a bottle of vodka, and a very nice poker chip set.
So you work at an apartment complex or something? Then I can definitely understand the stuff being found on the ground. Because that’s the first place people throw the stuff that belongs to someone else that they are having a fight with. I’m just surprised you found it in one piece.
Or do people just get evicted a lot? If so, it would seem smarter to sell the stuff that they are leaving behind so they can afford the rent.
Actually you pick up everything on the ground, and put it back there.
Well its not the people who get evicted that leave stuff behind most of the time. When people get the boot they generally leave quickly and quietly since they don’t want to get into any more trouble.
The people who leave because the lease is up like to leave a mess behind because in they’re minds’ “I’m done with this place, what are they gonna do about it”?
Seems strange doesn’t it.
A snapping turtle (live)
A salamander (live)
A robin’s egg (vacated)
An extremely stupid killdeer chick that need shooing out of the road where it was sitting
Yes, I basically work in the middle of the woods, why do you ask?
Oh living things, yeah I’ve found those. I’ve pulled 4 cats out from between walls trapped a full grown raccoon and the next day I found a baby raccoon. The baby was a cute thing.
My husband (when we were still just engaged) once found a very cute daisy necklace on the ground at work and gave it to me. I wore it at our wedding. It gave me a nasty, blistery rash all the way around my neck.
Stupid necklace.
At my job I find lots of animal hair, the occassional animal turd (band name?) or diarrhea, needle caps and a needle once in a while, syringes, cat litter, used iv catheters, toenails, baby possums (they escape a lot), I could go on but it’s all similar and I never keep any of it.
The only thing I find is other people’s misspellings, lack of punctuation and poor wording. Ha! No actual physical stuff.
I once found a live dung beetle crawling around on my department’s floor.
In 1995 or so, I found an 8" floppy disk in the parking lot.
Not on the ground per se, but some interesting technical books end up in the recycling bin where I work. (For various values of “interesting”; I realize titles like “Dictionary of Visual Science and Related Clinical Terms” aren’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea.)
You ever find any technical multilanguage dictionaries?
Not too much interesting stuff: chewed on pencils and pens, lost homework, spit wads, bits of eraser and crayons. Most of the notes I find are not even that interesting (txt me aftr schl ). I suppose I’m thankful I’ve not found machetes and brass knuckles.
Not yet. I’d like to, though.
The only memorable item was a co-workers cell phone.
I took the liberty of changing his voicemail message before I returned it. 
I told him I changed it a few months later. 
Found a Fifty a few years ago in front of a store.
Scuba diving finds lots of stuff,
once in Key West dived a large hurricane sunk boat, had nice bicycle, crates of music, ect…
then I found some money,
…turns out it was dropped out of my pocket T-shirt-change from when I bought a bag of ice,
just about spit out the regulator.
Why was “your TV” laying around on the ground. or did you just find a TV and it became “your TV”?
