Your mark?

JayinNY · Mar 27, 2014

Anyone every do something the same so much that you make a mark, or pattern? I open my wood stove with my left hand against the air intake. Here's what's left behind? The paint is wore off like the shape of my hand! Just thought how things you touch everyday may leave a mark from you.

The steering wheel on my truck has unmistakable finger holds wore in it.

I once saw a very well preserved collector car. You could tell that it had been babied since new. The third owner wanted to find out who had originally owned it. He searched for quite some time and finally found her in a neighboring town. She was about 85. When he drove the car to see her she was ecstatic. He suddenly realized that the missing paint on the gear shift and brake lever matched the large ring the old lady still wore on her right hand.

I just noticed a few days ago that on our toilet seat, there is paint wearing off on the left side. Since I am the one who raises it and lowers it, I am guessing that mark is mine!

Seems like machines leave more marks on Me than I do on them.

There's a worn spot on the steering wheel of my A where my grandpa said his uncle held on to it while driving it all those years. It may look odd to some but the story behind it means a lot to me.

All the paint off of the E the S the A and the space bar has an edge that is worn to a 1/16" radius where My thumb hits it. Among hammer handles, and shovel handles and post hole diggers with polished spots where I grip them most. Jim

Most of my guitars show wear on the top three fret areas only, the rest of the neck looks like brand new, since all I know are "cowboy chords"....

Kind of along the same lines but reversed, I never had much leg hair grow on my upper right ankle, since that's what rubbed on the seat adjusting track on our Super A. Don't have much leg hair on any upper ankle area due to boot tops rubbing for that matter.

I used to work in a tool & die shop. The "hot set up" for dispensing coolant to drills was emptied toilet cleaner bottles with a short piece of 1/8" copper tubing shoved in the spout to regulate flow.

One day I was drilling next to one of our best toolmakers. I noticed his bottle only had the paint worn off in five spots. He must have picked up that bottle a couple hundred times some days, with his fingers in the same exact spot each time. I asked him why, and he just gave me a stare like I had four eyeballs.

The right fender on my WD has a shining spot where I hang on to the fender a lot. Left handed so drove a lot with left hand and hang on to fender with right hand.

Left fender on my 3930 is shiny from hanging on all the time.

[I've got a nephew who laughs everytime he visits and uses the downstairs bathroom. There's a large worn spot in the wallpaper right above the commode,where I've leaned for years after coming in dead tired and leaning against the wall.

Some years ago a painting was found in England that was attributed to the great J.M.W. Turner. They eventually found out it was indeed a genuine Turner when they compared thumb prints on the painting with those of a known Turner. The point was apart from using a paintbrush he would also use other objects including his thumb, finger or even the other end of his paintbrush to achieve his desired effects.

I was going to say the same thing, only mine go down the neck to about the 9th and 10th frets. You can really tell the spots I "bend" the notes at! :lol:

My hay fork handle is worn very, very smooth right where I grab it when I put it over my shoulder and it starts to twist from the weight of the hay. My chainsaws all have the same hand pattern worn in them on the rear grip.

When I worked for Ford Tractor there was a dairyman customer who had a 860 with about 8,000 hours. There were several spots of shining metal where all of the paint had worn off. fenders, dash etc.. The tractor had never spent a full night out of the shed. It worked every day. Best cared for tractor I had seen.

When I open my woodstove it usually makes a mark on me. Red one that lasts a few days.

There is a scar on the knuckles of my right hand where my hand met the dash whenever I shifted into 4th gear on the '78 Chev 5 ton propane I used to drive for work 30 years ago. It had kick marks under the dash from when I smashed my knuckles. I hope it went through a really mean crusher.

When I restored grandpa"s JD 720 I left the shine on the knob of the clutch handle as a memory of how many times he grabbed it.

I was in england and went into the pub of the inn I was staying at.

The place was over 400 years old. The built in wooden bench seats at all the tables looked original.

They had deep butt sized depressions worn into them.

Obviously very well used.
