Strange antecdote Tuesday

While everyone is busy in the bizarro land that is now parenting (seriously, I can't even believe how fucked up this is), I thought I'd lighten it up with a weird story from my day. 

Every day this school year I have been finding sunflower seed shells in the handicapped stall at work.  I have so many questions.  Sunflower seeds are an outside food for sure.  What adult female on my floor is eating them at work everyday?  More importantly, is she eating them in the bathroom?  Or are the seeds getting caught in her clothing and falling out in the bathroom?  What is the story here?  I briefly considered it could be a mouse, but they are right in the middle of the floor (or sometimes floating in the toilet).

    Back when I worked in an office there was a stall where the paint was being peeled of by someone. One day there was a little chip in the paint and within a month it was like a square foot of paint missing. My gf and I would try to figure out who the "paint picker" was.

    When I poo I read. Or just poo.

    IF I pooed at work (which I don't), I would totally be a paint chip peeler.  I cannot not pick at things like that!

    FTR, I don't have anything against people who do poop at work, I am just grateful that my body is on such a schedule that allows me to go first thing in the morning.

    Like on the screen of a computer?  Lol, I don't buy electronics all that often.  I basically just make everything worse.  Chipping paint, pimples, my cuticles.  I need something else to do with my hands!

    It might be someone who is trying to quit smoking.

    Correct me if I wrong @Bluepointtoasted, but I think she (bpp) meant why the handicapped stall in particular, why not one of the other stalls? @eva116

    It's bigger? Not many people use it? I am so guessing on all points here.

    Lol, I'm glad you are all as confused as I am.  There are only 2 stalls in the bathroom anyway.  I just find it odd I have never seen any in the other one.  And the way my school is situated 2 hallways share each bathroom so it is likely 1 of about 15 people.

    Ok so this is what you need to do...is take a photo of the stall, make an outfit that will blend into one of the walls. Then take a day off from work and hide in the stall and when the sunflower seed eater comes in you'll be able to catch her in the act!

    I used to work at a small office with one single-toilet restroom for the women and one for the men. One of the women who worked in that office spray tanned excessively and (I guess???) the lint from her clothing would stick to her legs because she was always leaving lint on the toilet seat.

    I have no idea why she never wiped the seat off before leaving the restroom. Kinda gross.

    This mystery requires putting an out of order sign on the other stall and crouching up on the toilet for a few hours a day and watching the floor for seeds. Then you match the shoes to the perp and there you go.

    Or maybe it really is a handicapped mouse.
