I just had a very odd experience. I just arrived back at my apartment here on campus. It’s the middle of the day on Friday, so all my roommates are still in class. So I’m alone here in the apartment. There was a rapping at the door. I check the peephole and opened the door to two men. They greeted me saying they were the exterminators coming in for a bi-monthly spray. Hesitant, I still allowed them in. The one had a canister on his back with a wand. I waited in the living room for them to leave. They were only here for a short time, less than 60 seconds I’d guess. The one with the wand went into the bathrooms and shut the door behind him. The “front man” peeped under the sink. Then they left.
Now I’m rethinking the logistics of this. First of all, bi-monthly means twice a month. It’s October and I’ve never seen these men before. Why is this toxic spray beginning now? I’m worried to go into my own bathroom now. The doors are shut, holding in this toxic spray. I’m not sure what they sprayed for or what required this.
Currently, I’m berating myself over not asking more questions. Apparently, I’m not quick on my feet. I should have asked what they were spraying, who authorized the spray, their names, the ramifications of this spray, the possible side effects to this spray, etc. Since class yesterday and our extensive discussion of DDT, I’m uber aware of pesticides and other items we use daily that we have no clue what it might be doing to us.
What about Off spray that we use when we camp? What about the gases we use to grill? My mind is reeling with the things we use on a daily basis and give no second thought to.
Now to answer the question: What the hell is in my bathroom?
