Would most people have this, or only people with certain interests?
It is a tool.
This is not — maybe 20 or 30. But it makes no difference for age as the new ones are almost completely similar.
Most people would have this. I have probably 5 or more of different sizes.

Is it used mostly in a kitchen?

That greenish yellow would seldom be chosen to harmonize with anyone's decor. For this item, is utility much more important than esthetics?
100% utility oriented.
Colors really don't matter except that the yellow portion is almost universal in it's intended application, needed for easier visibility when in use (that's a hint btw).
I have used this in the kitchen, or outside, or basement, or almost everywhere else when needed.

Is it used to signal?
Not a signal. The "visibility" is so it is easier to read (because there is much more to the yellow part that is unseen in the photo crop).

Is it the end of a metal tape measure?

I think you have it Anton! But I might argue with David about the cutting. I regularly cut myself when I let it retract!
I was actually going to mention that this is occasionally dangerous when “cutting” was mentioned. I, too, have been sliced when I wasn’t careful when I’ve retracted them all too fast. I didn’t want to scare anyone off using these things.
The yellow part is the measuring component of this tape measure. The red is usually silver; plastic or metal; but this Stanley brand has a red plastic bottom portion besides the metal casing. I will post a larger photo of the tape measure when I have time. Anton, over to you!

My metal tapes are yellow, but it's a warmer yellow, not the creepy ultravisible greenish yellow of fire engines (when they're not red).
I used one of these in the macro game at POTN. That round lasted a long time because I gave basic Yes or No answers unless people seemed to be hurting for hints.
