The "glove compartment" in your car.

Seriously, who the fuck needs a compartment in their vehicle for gloves? A gynecologist?

I use my "glove compartment" but not for gloves, it is useful for storing misc items and insurance slips etc but not gloves.

This was one of the biggest name mistakes the car companies ever made.

This thing needs a name change. Really.

plommer,

The early cars had open tops for the most part and the drivers had to wear gloves to prevent freezing of the hands hence the name glove compartment derived.

Even drivers in Florida and Arizona?

Once the hard top was invented the glove compartment should have been phased out.
 
I think it would be far worse to not have that compartment at all...could you imagine now going to buy a car without a "glove compartment"? Now that would be weird...

Amby, the compartment is fine, my point is that no one uses it primarily for gloves and the name needs to be changed.


The "rear view mirror" is correctly named, all I'm asking is that the compartment follow suit - name wise.

I was just rattling your cage. I like the topic.

You do this because of my previous jennaaaaay! comments right?
