    No, but instead behind the backseats' head area with a Bunnings strawhat like any normal Camry driver

    No tissues in car, wife uses them and then leaves them in the door pocket for me to clean out later

    • +2

      Raise this to wet wipes for the messy kid…

  • Yes
    Convenient location and doesn't affect my view.

  • +15

    No, I drive a Camry so the tissue box belongs on the rear parcel shelf πŸ˜‚

    • +3

      Comes as factory standard for all camrys. The ones with out have obviously modified their cars πŸ˜‚

  • +9

    It's snot the worst place to store them.

  • +4

    That's where all my PokΓ©mon plushies go.

    My Car runs on Telfast 180mg.

  • Because in an accident it can become the equivalent of a 1kg missile (or something like that)…

      Didn't Mythbusters disprove this?

    Oh god no. It might knock over one of my 16 Demon Slayer figurines, or my solar powered waving cat or dancing plant.

      With the random lip balm?

      • +3

        No, that's in the coin/loyalty cubby near my right knee.

  • We have a central screen and they shove nicely in front of that, resting on the middle of the dash. Probably aesthetically horrible, but convenient.

  • Its probably not happening any more than it used to, you are just noticing it more that you used to.

    I did have a tissue box on my dashboard many years ago when I was a surveillance operative.
    It housed a video camera with a cut out for the lens. πŸ•΅οΈ

    • Not at all suss in comparison to a dash cam

      • I am talking 30 years ago.
        There were no dashcams back then.
        It was a PTZ camera operated by a joystick and had a small monitor.
        The latest technology and very expensive at the time.

    Put it in your glove box.

    • +6

      Wouldn't have room for gloves then.

        Wear the gloves. Problem solved.

  • I have a tissue box on my sun visor. Does that count too?

  • No.

    Blocks vision.

    May also block the airbag from deploying correctly.

    • +1

      block the airbag from deploying correctly.

      How friggin heavy are your tissues?

      • The top of the dash is where the air bag comes out from, tissue box may stop the dash to open fully.

        • +1

          No it won't. Watch this to find out why. The explosion is brutal. Not some soft fluffy pillow.

            @MS Paint: Maybe maybe not, some car's passenger airbags deploy closer to the top rather than the front.

              @JimB: You said "may" a lot, do you have any evidence?

              • -2

                @deme: Nope.

                Prove that it’s 100% safe and I’ll change May to will not.

    Why is this a forum topic.

      You'd rather it be posted as a bargain?

      • +2

        Id rather it never saw the light of day

    Come here for the bargains… have mind blown by questions daily

    Has to be on the rear parcel shelf of a Camry/Aurion with damaged bumpers, preferably inside a laced type of cover.

    Glovebox - asthmatic

    Shagonwagon with Amazon largest discount tissues 4 square ply!

    Glovebox, never on the dash, that's just a projectile waiting to happen.

    • if the airbag is launching it as a projectile, the tissue box is probably lower on the llist of problems you're experiencing that day

      • Never said anything about the airbag.

        In a crash loose items become projectiles.

        I guess you're right though, if a tissue box is flying fast enough to cause damage in a crash, you got other issues.

    It's an uBer driver thing…

  • +1 parcel shelf life.

  • My wife has allergies, so yes.

  • My car is old/basic and has no cover/centre armrest, instead it has a small square-shaped hole, perfect size for a small square tissue box, so that's where it sits. Would never have it on the dashboard (front or rear).

  • +1

    Tissues in the glovebox. Nothing on the dash because one less projectile flying around should there be an traffic collision.

  • Chap stick hidden away carefully

  • I have a pack of pocket tissues in my cup holder that I always forget I have.

  • Small pack of tissues in the door. +1 to not wanting something flying around should I get into an accident.

  • One in the front one in the back

    I drive a Camry

  • No, I'm a member of the handkerchief master race, but do have an errant toilet roll floating around the cabin of every car I've ever owned.

  • +1

    Should add another poll option, a squashed tissue box either on the backseat or on the floor

  • I store mine in the door pocket

  • I saw one of these blokes today. Had a nice giggle out loud when i remembered this post πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  • Its been a few days and i still havent seen one on a dash. Maybe im not looking hard enough.
