I Finally Figured It Out

Well, I think I finally got it. You see, in my second job, my first chore is to clean two bathrooms at the end of a 5 mile, cross-factory hike. The men's room is usually not a lot of fun to clean. I think it was expanded, because the first half the room is narrower and seems a little newer. The first half the bathroom is only about 1/2 the width of the last half. When you enter the door, you have a trash can, then a large stainless steel sink, then another trash can. Next you have two urinals, then three stalls. When you get to the stalls, my cleaning cart takes up the entire aisle between the stalls and the wall. You then enter another doorway and the second half of the restroom. This area is much wider. The open area has a trash can and another stainless sink, but you have a lot of room. The two urinals are next, then three more stalls. You could park two cleaning carts there and still have plenty of room between the stalls and the wall.

The mystery though is the last stall. Every day, when I sweep, I find a pile of stuff between the toilet and the concrete block wall. It is always there. It generally consists of pieces of toilet paper, newspaper, shop towels, and balled up papertowels. This has always puzzled me, because, although the size varies day-t0-day, it is usually a big pile.

The shop towels could fall out of the guys' pockets when they drop trou, and they could bring the newspaper to read. Toilet paper in a bathroom stall isn't that unusual, but why not just flush it? Plus, it doesn't appear used to the casual glance. But what the hell with the paper towels? Why are they carrying paper towels to the stall with them? The dispenser is clear on the other end of the room.

Well, I got it. They have a man-bird working there. Or maybe a bird-man. You know, a mutant half-man, half-bird. He's nesting, it's the only thing that fits all the facts. The idiot is trying to build a nest to attract a mate and the idiot is doing it in the damn men's room. You'd think the smell alone would make him realize it's a bad idea.

Anyway, I am planning to call the show, Monster-Quest. I think if they come up and set up the motion detection cameras they can probably get some footage of the nest building in action. Maybe even some infra-red stuff. Cool!!!
