18 Bizarre Thrift Store Finds That Left Us With So Many Questions

If you're one of those people who takes thrifting to a new level, listen up. Have you ever found something in a second-hand store that really blew your mind? Oh, yeah! I bet when that happened, you thought you hit the jackpot.

But what about those times when you stumbled upon an item that was just plain, old weird? Ha, ha, check these out and enjoy a good laugh.

1. These Clowns

Oh, no. Did I tell you that I have a disdain for clowns? This is one of those unfortunate thrift store finds I would never bring home. Just looking at it is giving me nightmares, and that's a fact.

2. This Ceramic Hand

If you were looking for something to give you a "hand," perhaps this ceramic gem here could come in handy. Get it? It's my way to try to make this thrift store find into some kind of pun.

3. This Not Disturbing At All Painting

I don't know about you, but I find something a little disturbing about this painting. I don't think I would feel comfortable hanging it up in my living room. Something tells me it would probably haunt my dreams.

4. This Strange Bowl

One cool thing about shopping at thrift stores is finding lots of handmade items. What I find baffling about this bowl here, is the fact that somebody made it out of ticket stubs. Why? Isn't that a conundrum or what?

5. This Frog Mirror

Who here is a fan of frogs? I, myself, tend to gravitate towards owls. But if this frog mirror is what you're after, you're welcome, my dear. The open mouth makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

6. This Happy-Go Lucky Plate

If you need something to remind you to stay happy every day, I present you with this plate here, ha, ha! Is it just me, or does it look like it was painted by a child?

7. These Head Planters

Am I the only one who doesn't find head planters attractive or what? I must be since I seem to discover so many of them. I much rather grow my plants in something less human-like, okay? Call me weird. I don't care.

8. This Interesting Painting

If you're a slightly older lady who likes to ogle younger men, this gem might have your name on it, hee-hee. If not, then why not get it anyway? I bet it could be a great conversation starter.

9. This Mannequin

Is it just me, or do you also think this mannequin resembles Charlie Sheen? That is so weird. And what in the heck happened to the rest of his body? Maybe it was left on the set of Two and a Half Men?

10. This Old Man Mug

What is it with people and weird mugs? I just don't get it. I actually collect them, but none of mine are as odd as this one here. Granted, it's very well done and detailed but still, a bit creepy, no?

11. This Odd Typewriter

I've been on the lookout for a vintage typewriter for quite some time now. However, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Why does it look like that? Well, believe it or not, it's actually a planter. Wow!

12. This Bowling Pin

Wowza. Is this what I think it is? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you an OJ Simpson bowling pin. How do you like that? I have one question though, who do the rest of the pins resemble? Inquiring minds want to know.

13. This Hershey's Mouse

Here's something I never thought I would see with my own eyes. Yes, this is a Hershey's-themed computer mouse. What's weird about that? Well, how about its built-in aquarium with tiny floating chocolates? Caught your attention now?

14. These Baby Heads In A Pod

Why in the heck would anybody create that? If you don't find this disturbing as much as I do, I don't know what kind of person are you. Ugh! Put that away ASAP! Thank you.

15. This Um ... Costume?

OMG! The fact that somebody bought this at a thrift store and put it on is shocking to me. I mean, who knows who wore it before and what they did while they were wearing it. I don't want to think about it.

16. This 'Golden Girls' Art

Oh, my! What the heck is that? I can honestly say that I've never seen anything like this before. Why are the Golden Girls pictured as bodybuilders, lol? I will never understand this. Anyone?

17. This Three-Handled Mug

Here's a thought, who would need three handles on a mug? I have no idea. But clearly, it must be a thing since somebody came up with this concept here. What would you use it for, huh?

18. These Scandalous Pants

I've never seen a pair of pants that came with "windows" before and now that I have, I wish I hadn't. I'm not sure what kind of fashion statement these would make but these pants would be a bold choice, for sure.

Oh boy! What did I tell you, huh?

You honestly never know what kind of crazy things you will find at a thrift store. Let me ask you: what was the strangest thing you have ever discovered while shopping at a second-hand store? Was it more unusual than any of these here?
