The thread wasn’t strange but the behavior described was. Secret Shitter? Towel Shitter? Or something. Apparently a group of friends had a strange problem. Someone in their group, when the group would meet at someone’s house. (a book club maybe) Anyway one women in the group would use the bathroom and then wipe her ass with a towel and then neatly fold the towel and put it back in whatever storage there was in the bathroom. ---

Oh, god, that thread was awesome! I think it was actually a thread asking for advice, because this was all at the poster’s mother’s house and the mother didn’t know what the hell to do about the fact that one of her bridge club ladies wiped her ass on the guest towels (the guest towels!) and then just folded it back like it was! ---

The series of missing co-worker threads. It started out normally, but sad, then it slowly came out that the co-worker was nuts. I wonder what she’s up to now. The GQ thread where the poster argued that Superman really could turn back time by flying around the earth fast enough.
