Weird things you've collected

[Big Swifty]

Most people have some sort of collections of objects, but I used to have a collection of airline sick-bags, in the days when I flew more often, with various airlines. My favourite was TAP Portuguese Airways sick-bags, which had illustrated instructions on the side of the bag showing what to do. Pic 1 showed a man holding the bag open, while Pic 2 showed a stream of vomit being aimed into the bag.
I think the airline must have had a low opinion of its travellers' intelligence if it thought they needed that sort of explanation.
The sick-bags are now kept in the door-pockets of my car, should I or my passengers feel the need to throw up urgently.

My missus collects packets of sugar. She has a packet from Happy Eater with a picture of a smiley face putting a finger down his throat.

Nail clippings. I have a set of clippers in a box and the nail clippings are put in it. I then forget to chuck them away until the next time I cut my nails. And repeat.

When my kids were small I took them swimming. My oldest boy bought a bouncy ball every week. He’s 22 now, with a collection of hundreds of bouncy balls.

My other boy is four years younger, and his collection is fifty pence pieces with different designs. I got the Kew Gardens one (very rare) a few years ago and gave it him for Christmas. His collection is quite valuable - much more so than the bouncy ball collection.
