Curious Observations: The Mysterious Spray Bottle Rituals at Bus Shelters
In recent days, my partner and I have noticed some peculiar behavior at our local bus shelters. On two separate occasions, we witnessed individuals seemingly engaged in a strange ritual with spray bottles and discarded items.
The scene typically unfolds as one of these individuals arrives equipped with a spray bottle, which they appear to use to disperse a substance—likely a disinfectant—around the shelter area. After this sanitizing act, they rummage through a nearby trash bin, extracting several shopping bags filled with various belongings. Once they have collected their finds, they nonchalantly walk away.
What added to the intrigue of our most recent encounter was a man who, after retrieving a few items, accidentally left behind a plastic wallet containing papers. He momentarily walked away but returned just a minute later to retrieve it, suggesting that he was mindful of his belongings despite his actions.
Initially, we speculated that these individuals might be homeless, but their attire told a different story. Both appeared reasonably well-dressed, accessorized with AirPods, which adds an additional layer of mystery to their intentions.
This raises a fascinating question: What is the purpose behind these unusual activities? Have any of you experienced similar sightings in your own neighborhoods? It would be interesting to gather insights and perspectives on what could be happening at these public spaces. Your thoughts could shed light on this enigmatic behavior!
