[Why Syzygy]

16. Cello in my trunk

I was in high school still and was working at Six Flags. I just needed to run in a do some paper work (I was the supervisor of customer service). Well, my cello was in the trunk, and I knew it shouldn't be out there long, but at the same time, I didn't want to haul it the mile to the office.

Ahhh, so the next day, I realize that the varnish under the feet of the bridge (bridge is what holds up the strings) had melted a little and is a perfect rectangle where the feet go. I was so pissed at myself and mortified at the damage.

Thank god that my parents never saw it up close really (they mostly heard me practice and saw me play in concerts). I know it'll cost quite a bit to fix if I ever wanted to start playing again. I think the worst part is that I know how much the instrument is worth, and then I recklessly damaged it like that.

17. Leftovers from The Outback; they slipped under the psngr

seat and were forgotten for about a week; hubby couldn't figure out what REEKED.

[movie_girl99]

18. my make up bag

lipsticks melted it was an awful mess.

[friedcatfish]

19. My support to

those who left beer in the car. Hope you are over it. Took me awhile after I left a six-pack.

[theboz]

20. A bottle of hand lotion

Actually, my wife left it. It exploded.

[Why Syzygy]

21. oh yeah

that reminds me, I used to keep a cig lighter in the console. It exploded. Found bits and pieces all over. Glad I wasn't in the vehicle at the time. I don't leave lighters in there any more.

[liveoaktx]

22. Big Red that exploded all over the passenger side of the car

and dash.

[moc]

24. That happened to my husband during one of the first summers

we lived here (99 or 2000, when it was like 110 outside). A soda in the back of his civic exploded and flew to the front of the car, barely missing his head. :wow:

[moc]

23. Kid's sippy cup with old milk in it.

Yeah, it gets that vomit like smell. :puke:

[yellowdogintexas]

25. not in Texas but left a cassette tape in the passenger seat of

my car. The solar magnification warped the HELL out of that tape, box and all. Never would fit into the tape deck again.

[pop goes the weasel]

26. bag of kitchen garbage

We're rural--it's a long way to the trash can.

[Skittles]

27. OK I nominate pop's entry the worst

OMG......KITCHEN TRASH :O

[pop goes the weasel]

29. yeah, even had fish and chicken bones

Was that ever a hard smell to get out!

[Skittles]

31. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*FISH*.........for GOD'S SAKE pop you just need your assed kicked for that snafu you know? :o

[pop goes the weasel]

33. I think I was punished enough

The solution to the pollution:

Cleaned the upholstery, aired the vehicle by leaving the windows down several days, then opened a can of cheap coffee and left it in there with the windows up several days.

Much less gamey after that.

[Fleshdancer]

28. milk

and not in the gallon container, all nice and sealed. My daughter had a cup of milk in the car and I forgot to take it out. The smell...

[elehhhhna]

30. crayons. Neighbors left their toy terrier in theirs, once.

Right on their driveway, accidentally,

That was awful.

[seabeyond]

32. lipstick, the worst though crayons is right up there n/t
