Tell Me About The Item You Own That People Would Be Shocked To Learn You Have

You can tell a lot about a person by what they own or collect; sometimes, those things are either bizarre, totally unexpected, or extremely intriguing (or a combination of all three) — and that's what makes them cool! So, I'm extremely curious to know: What unique item(s) do you own or collect that people would find kind of weird or surprising?

Maybe you're like one of my friends who collects pickle-shaped and themed items and thingamabobs. The first time I went to their place, I couldn't hide my surprise (but extreme amazement!) at the pickle-shaped earrings, pickle-printed blanket, and more pickle-y things.

Maybe you house a ton of reptilians, and you always have to double-check that all of your scaled babies are in their homes before having guests over. People are always kind of scared at first, but they get used to it after a while.

Maybe people would never guess that you're into BDSM and that you have some pretty spicy gadgets and gizmos in your possession.

Or perhaps you collect dolls and clowns and have shelves lined with them. Some people find them creepy, but you think they're cute!
