I work at a small factory where there are 8 of us in the office and about 15 or so floor workers. I have been on a breakfast smoothie fad for sometime and carry my smoothie to office. The typical day is like I reach office, have some coffee and then my smoothie. Today was no different. Or so I thought.
Now, some of you may know that when you add protein powder to your smoothie and blend it more than normal, it will turn into a thick lump. Its called a protein fluff. Another fad that I am into is using super-foods. I recently got a bag of dried goji berries. And I added them to the mix. I did not know that goji berries will start turning the taste bitter by the hour. And you can see it in the color.
Today was a typical day. I reached office, had my coffee and started sipping on some yummy smoothie. Suddenly, I am called into a conference call, which was not scheduled. The company I work for, designs and manufactures machines for companies like 3M. This was a call from 3M regarding the machine I was designing for them. This is a new product that 3M is planning to launch in the near future. So, I run my ass into the conference, grabbing my files. What I didn't realize was that I had left my smoothie on my table and not in the refrigerator.
The conference call extends well into and after lunch hours, so we leave for lunch straight from the conference call. When I return from lunch, I see that the color changed from pink-ish red to a dark red. Like the one in the picture. Still, being the fool I am, I let it sit and continue with work. I work about 9-10 hours daily. So, after a few hours, at about 5pm I feel like having the delicious goodness. So, I take a sip. And almost puke up due to the horrid taste of the watery juice and I realize that my smoothie had become a fluff. I cannot throw it down the sink, else it would just stay there. And I get an Eureka moment. I think its a good idea to flush it down the toilet.
I open up the bottle and give it a shake to force the fluff into the toilet. Now, this is where FU happens. Ever try throwing a good ol' lump into the toilet bowl? The fluff mixed with toilet water spatters. Imagine a dark brown colored sputtering around the toilet flush tank and the edges of the toilet. I start to panic. If I left there without cleaning, the next person, who today would have been my boss, would think I had a big bad dump and soiled the toilet and whatnot. If my boss didn't use the toilet, then the person who cleans the toilet in the morning (he is also one of the floor workers) will go upto my boss and complain. And my boss will figure out it was me, since there were only two of us at closing. While I am deciding which path was less evil, my boss knocks on the door. I ask him to give me a minute, as I furiously wipe the toilet tank and the edge of the toilet. Throw everything in the bowl and flush.
As soon as I open the door, the smell of a bad smoothie escape the restroom and as I try to rush back to my desk, I meet my boss waiting to use the toilet. He is caught my the smell of smoothie, the sight of the soiled floor and the smoothie bottle in my hand. I am pretty sure he said "What the fuck were you doing in there..."
What makes this much much worse is that this is my first job and I have been at this place for less than 3 months. Now, I am scared if I become the "weird office guy".
TL;DR: Left a smoothie on my table for way too long. It went bad pretty fast. Tried to flush it down the toilet and soiled the restroom instead. Tried cleaning furiously; boss met me at the door with my smoothie bottle and the soiled restroom in the background.
