More than 29,000 upvotes pushed a parent's post viral after they asked Reddit to identify small plastic pieces found in a 15-year-old son's room.
Reddit users said the objects appeared to be silicone caps or inserts that come with new disposable nicotine vapes, with some posting photos of matching parts from their own devices.
The parent replied that they would talk to their son, while commenters mocked the teen as a "rookie" for leaving the pieces scattered around.
