+528 Why is it called a "Glove compartment?" Unless you're planning on murdering someone, I don't think there will be any gloves in there, amirite?

What about in the winter, when it's cold, and you need gloves? Also, back in the 50s and 60s, women wore gloves everywhere.

The glove compartment is inaccurately named And everybody knows it So I'm proposing a swift, orderly change 'Cause behind its door, There's nothing to keep my fingers warm And all I find are souveniers from better times Before the gleam of your tail lights fading east To find yourself a better life -fin singalong-

in the winter you keep spare gloves in there. i snowboard so i have a lot of gloves- i've yet to murder anyone, they also come in handy when you have to clean off the ice/snow from your windshield.

I'm guessing that the OP is from somewhere that's never cold enough for gloves. But I agree, most people keep other things besides gloves in there.

Nah, I'm from Pennsylvania. It gets cold, but we never keep gloves in there.

Oh, alright. I just thouht you were from Florida or something because you associated gloves with murder instead of keeping your hands cold. I'm sorry about the confusion, I can see now that you're a serial killer :)

Haha, yeah, I understand. Most people I know don't put gloves in there though. :)

It's good to keep gloves in there for when the steering wheel is made out of ice in the winter. They come in handy. Eh? HANDy?

What if you keep your gloves for makin' love in the glove compartment? lol.

it's probably used more for that than it is for regular gloves.

think about all the other things we keep in the "glove compartment" they must feel left out, all being in a compartment that's named after something no one even keeps in there!

Because ages and ages ago it was extremely common for people to wear Driving Gloves and that's where they kept them
