I hear a lot of anecdotes about things people find on the highway. I have family members who say they found a free couch on the highway. A friend of a friend said they found a board game set on the highway. Then today a family member was talking about a cat they adopted, and I asked how she ended up with one (she doesn’t like cats), and she said “oh we found her on the highway, we’re surprised nothing happened to her”.

Is this a common thing? What’s the most unexpected thing you found while on the highway?

    I’m surprised someone could ingest that and tolerate the passing of the vehicles. Hopefully he’s alright.

      He ended up in ICU hallucinating for days so it was not a great outcome. Every year when I worked in ER someone would come in having imbibed jimson weed and it was ALWAYS a terrible occurrence.
