Stop me if you've heard this one...

Why do they still call that little box in your car's dashboard a "glove compartment" or "glove box"?

I know that back in the day, people kept their driving gloves in there, but I don't think I've ever met anyone who does today.

Why not a "map compartment", "insurance card compartment", or "when you keep condoms in here like one of my friends in high school, they'll get hot and/or cold and break while you're nailing your girlfriend and make for some very nerve-wracking weeks compartment"?

Just askin'.
