My ID badge to get me into the building where I work. Well, actually nothing right now; I’m at work, so I’m wearing the badge. But when I leave I’ll hang it there. ---

Nothing. Of course, once I get a car, I’m sure there’ll be something. ---

Another parking pass, checking in. But only when I’m parked on campus. Otherwise, there’s nothing there. ---

Ugh. I hate crap dangling from rearview mirrors. When the cars are parked in the garage, the parking pass is put there. When we’re driving them, nothing. ---

I’ve got an Iron Maiden necklace hanging there. Been there for years. Most people freak out over it when they see it. 😃 ---

I don’t like anything hanging there, but last time my husband cleaned out my vehicle he found my air freshener and put it there. It’s a Yankee Candle Company “Clean Cotton” air freshener. I feel like a soccer mom with that thing hanging there. I would take it down, but it does work better hanging in the mirror right there. haha I’m such a nerd. ---

Partial hijack\*\*\* My Dad had an air freshener in the shape of a marijuana leaf nicely dangling from his rearview mirror…but did not know it was a marijuana leaf. Quite funny when my sis and I piled in his minivan and said, “Dad, what the hell is that?!?! Do you know what that is?!??” He did not believe us. He said he got it from the Dollar Store (Which he is addicted to). We laughed our a$$es off. He now has it dangling from his cigarette lighter. ---

I have my graduation tassle from college (which is pathetic since I graduated in 97) and an Amish horse hex (good luck charm) a friend of mine made me for christmas last year. ---

A smiley face with a hard-hat on. It’s an air freshener for my car that stinks of rotting cow beef… ---

I have a parking pass for the University of Maine and an individually wrapped cherry LifeSaver. It represents the main character in a short story I wrote about a man who poisons hitchhikers. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-dangling-from-your-rearview-mirror/140385.md?page=2)
