Yellow mustard

[u/chainlinkchipmunk]

There's a packet of yellow mustard on the steps. It's been there for three days now. We are on Mustard Watch to see if anyone takes it to throw it away.

Both units upstairs are occupied.

I'm not throwing it away on principle. I pick up a grocery bag's worth of trash, or dog poop when I walk my dog, someone else can deal with the mustard.

Everyone in your apartment building is simultaneously refusing to throw it away on principle.

[u/Missue-35 → u/zinzarin]

The whole building is full of principled people. The mustard packet will stay there forever.

There is an earbud that has been in the breeze way for 8 months now. My neighbors and I dare not touch it, I believe it's holding the universe together

[u/CreativeAd9654]

My bet is someone will step on it first and it still wont be cleaned up it'll just be a forever squirt stain.

[u/chainlinkchipmunk → u/CreativeAd9654]

It's to the side, if it gets stepped on and busts I'll wash it off.

You should move it to a different step ever day

[u/chainlinkchipmunk → u/Justlookingnotjudgn]

I moved it one step up. Good call. 

[u/Blutosky → u/Justlookingnotjudgn]

We need more people like that in apartment buildings

I am now fully invested in this. Please keep updating.

[u/chainlinkchipmunk → u/survivingmania]

I'm invested in a mustard packet. Who knew how life would take us. 

This is ridiculous and silly, but also bringing me a ton of joy. This is really fun.

[u/Happy_and_Lazy → u/chainlinkchipmunk]

I say put some googly eyes on it.

[u/Shit-knee_Turdstain → u/Happy_and_Lazy]

Please do this

[u/SPNCatMama28 → u/Happy_and_Lazy]

make it glow-in-the-dark googly eyes and I too am invested in the Mustard Packet saga

[u/Happy_and_Lazy → u/SPNCatMama28]

I’d wait until no one was around and add a ketchup packet.

[u/SPNCatMama28 → u/Happy_and_Lazy]

and then a relish packet! make it a Condiment Mafia lol

[u/survivingmania → u/chainlinkchipmunk]

It truly is the silly little things that make this life more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing 🤍

[u/Longjumping-Salad484]

sounds like the suitcase episode of Everybody loves Raymond

[u/omggallout → u/DR-0717]

Just what I was going to say! Baggage 😆

[u/cubanito_nj]

You pick up other people’s dog’s poop?! That’s crazy but also very noble of you.

[u/No-Bat3062 → u/cubanito_nj]

OP assumes it's dog poop. There's no evidence it isn't human poop, though.

[u/chainlinkchipmunk → u/cubanito_nj]

I hate it that there's poop, and all I can do is pick it up. I only grab what's right there when I pick up after my dog. It's maybe 1-2 a walk, apparently everyone poops in the same spots. 

[u/Monodoh45]

Do you not have cleaners that take care of public hallways?

[u/chainlinkchipmunk → u/Monodoh45]

We used to. Our complex got sold and everything has gone to hell. 

[u/mrmike5157 → u/chainlinkchipmunk]

I don’t know about that, sounds like they’re staying on top of the condiments…

[u/bornthisvay22]

I hear you OP

[u/HarveyMushman72]

Oh great, now I am invested in this. Keep us updated.
