You can find some pretty bizarre stuff in random Lubbock parking lots. Not full-blown crimes or anything majorly dramatic, but just weird stuff. The kind of stuff that makes you look twice and scratch your head.<\/p>\n
Lubbock parking lots are their own little ecosystem. People eat lunch in their cars, take phone calls, wait on friends, and occasionally do things that feel just suspicious enough to make you wonder what exactly is going on. (We don’t snitch around here though, folks…soo…shush!)<\/p>\n

The engine might be running, the windows might be down, and they\u2019re just\u2026 there. Maybe they\u2019re scrolling their phone. Maybe they\u2019re staring straight ahead like they\u2019re contemplating every decision they\u2019ve ever made. Either way, you\u2019ve walked past them twice, and they haven\u2019t moved.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the mysterious two-truck meeting. You\u2019ll see two pickups parked nose-to-nose or window-to-window, with both drivers leaning out, talking like they\u2019ve known each other for 30 years. Sometimes the trucks are parked diagonally across multiple spaces, like the conversation was just too important to worry about parking lines.<\/p>\n Photo by Gonzalo Garc\u00eda Paz<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n Another suspicious parking lot staple is the random mattress. No explanation, no nearby moving truck, just a full mattress sitting next to a dumpster or leaning against a cart return like someone simply decided, \u201cYou know what? This is the mattress\u2019s journey now.\u201d<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0What Do Texans Really Want At Their Weddings?<\/a><\/p>\n Lubbock parking lots also seem to attract people who are very passionately reorganizing their vehicles. You\u2019ll see someone with every door open, the trunk up, and half their belongings spread out while they dig through boxes like they\u2019re searching for a missing artifact.<\/p>\n Photo by Gerrie van der Walt<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n And of course, there\u2019s always the person driving slowly through the lot like they\u2019re searching for something very specific. You can\u2019t tell if they\u2019re looking for a parking spot, a person, or just figuring out where they are.<\/p>\n None of these things are necessarily suspicious on their own. But when you see them often enough, you start to realize that Lubbock parking lots have their own strange little stories happening every day\u2026and sometimes you\u2019re not entirely sure you want to know what they are…especially off Ave Q…<\/p>\n Keep scrolling for more silly Lubbock fun in the galleries below…<\/p>\n Craving Lasagna?
