/Personal_Mythology Booger Wall

So, there I am, in the restroom at work taking a whiz. My wandering eyes (wandering directly in front of me, thank you) fall on, of all things, a booger stuck to the wall. This is unreal to me. What twisted, tortured mind, in my theoretically professional workplace, would actually stick a booger to the restroom wall?

Actually, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, because there is a precedent. When I was at E&Y we had a similar bathroom wall booger-sticking incident. You'd go to take a whiz, and there before you would be someone's booger stuck to the wall, as if that's what it's there for. One of the more outraged guys on the team decided to take action and put up a post-it note sign saying essentially, "please Mr. Crazy Booger-sticker, don't stick your boogers to the wall. You are frightening those of us who are nearly civilized." As a response, the booger-sticker, with a well-developed sense of irony, stuck a booger to the sign. We are surely doomed.
