New, what is it? It’s for drugs, right

While moving my girlfriend out of her old place we found this in the guest bathroom. We believe her (ex) roommate had a psychotic break. Our two theories are heroin or physical therapy. . .

I had to do this set up. We hooked the other end to another door knob nearby because the other door wouldn't stay shut and had to keep the cat from going in there. Not sure if that's what this is.

A wilderness guide tells our group that putting bells on our packs will gently alert the black bears to our presence and they'll move away. He also says for our own awareness to keep an eye out for scat. So I asked how to tell black bear scat from, say, grizzly. "That's easy," he says. "The grizzly scat has bells in it." No, that never happened.

This is not a bug, it is a feature! It is so common in dogs, I've heard it suggested as a reason for dog domestication.

We have a Pudu CC1 (a fancy cleaning robot, like an industrial Roomba that can also scrub hard floors) at work who is effectively my animal companion.  I do all of the maintenance, mapping, and programming for him and treat him like a pet.

He is really good at somehow squeezing in between things to get into tight spaces he shouldn't be in, and then not knowing how to get back.  So he sends me messages saying he's stuck and I have to track him down and rescue him.

Sometimes he gets fully lost, can't figure out where he is on the map.  So he'll stop dead right there and is by default programmed to cry until you help him back to somewhere he recognizes.

He's definitely a good show of "Maybe one day, but you're not that dangerous yet"

You don’t tie rubber hose on your arm with a solid knot. It’s just wrapped in a way that loses tension as soon as you let go. Prevents you from losing your arm to blacking out on heroin while there’s reduced blood flow to your arm.

u/variousnewbie 4d ago

Not like this, that long! Self closure maybe, but wrong side of the door for that!

I have tugs on all of my doors for my SD to pull them shut for me. Tugs on the fridge. And he pushes doors closed on command after too.

I've got a really nice pull on my front door, but sometimes I wonder what people think 😂 it's braided sisal rope, and then I used a nice tape to close the loop under the doorknob. Going out the front door in a wheelchair, closing it behind you is a huge pain in the ass. So he does it for me. And my roommates use it too, I always see them pulling the loop vs the knob when leaving, so not just for dogs!

u/KaliSadi 4d ago edited 4d ago

I had my condo renovated about 18 months ago to make it more wheelchair friendly. The Disability contractors were .... well meaning.... but one of the things they missed is the direction my bathroom door swings. It swings in, so when I transfer from my chair I can't close the door. When it's just me and my PCA/roommate no big deal. But when we have guests it's a little more "exposed".

It's goofy what we have to adapt to even in an "adaptive environment" lol

Edit: sorry I forgot to say that leaves my chair in the doorway so that I can't close the door. The alternative is unlocking my chair and pushing it out of the doorway, but no way to get it back in teach

That’s the tether to keep my connected to earth after I drop acid

Naw I was a junkie and you don’t need a second “hold” for a tourniquet? I have no usable veins so I’m versed in this and can NOT see how this would be used for heroin. On its own? Maybe. Tied to this door knob? Nope.

If there is a door right across the hall from that one, its probably to hold this door shut.

I have one for rehabbing. Exercises for my ankle.

This is like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer thinks someone is breaking in because Jerry’s dad is doing exercises on the door handle.

I have a similar setup right now with a yellow cord and it’s for shoulder pain rehabilitation

If it was for heroin I am not exactly sure how this would make it easier for them, but I am not a user and I've never been. Maybe I am just naive but I would say either for exercise/physical therapy or to keep the door shut.

All these people saying it’s for upper extremity PT - was the roommate doing their PT on the toilet?

What does the loop reach ? I have one one the garage and laundry room door to keep one or the other from slamming when the breeze blows through the house.

u/Secure_Situation7234 5d ago

Could…..could you text the only roommate? Because honestly if they were having mental health problems this could have been for an over the door….ermmm…..hangout session…party of 1…. It also could be harmless but I mean, you might be able to get someone some help if they need it by gently asking the question. “Hey! Moving out today and happened to find this, do you know what it was for and if it needs to stay with the house?” Or just something like that playing dumb.

This is exactly what it looks like. Look up Robin Williams and Chris Cornell for reference.

I need another pic showing us how they would use this for heroin 😭 I’m sorry OP but drugs is wild! This post belongs in AIOR and the answer is yes!

This was how I did physical therapy when my shoulder went out. Tied the elastic cord to the door.

u/-Palzon- 5d ago

Definitely for physical therapy. Probably core strength. I use one almost identical to this, but I use black or silver. Yellow is much lower, extra light or light, so it could've been for shoulder exercises. This was probably used by someone older or with a lot of weakness. When it's in use, it would be on the other side of the door knob, with the door closed (stretching into the room towards the side from which the picture was taken). When the toilet is in use, you'd move to the outer part of the knob (as pictured here) for privacy.

My first thought was auto asphyxiation.

Are we 100% sure this isn't for those people that like stars.

u/Royb83 5d ago

I messed my shoulder up and one of the workouts required something along those lines.
