This isn't so much as a "problem" as it is a really dumb quirk of mine, and I want to know if anyone else has this issue or what your thoughts on it are.
At the place where I work, we don't have an employee restroom, we have to use the same one as the customers, which doesn't really bother me, because the men's bathroom isn't actually "public", there's only a single stall, and there's even a lock on the door.
The bathroom is arranged as a U, with the sink at one end, and the toilet at the other end, and the door comes in from the side of the sink, so there is a little wall blocking line of sight to the toilet.
Now, if you walk in, and look around the door, there is a mirror on the wall that lets you see to the toilet without actually having to step all the way into the room, just peer your head inside, which I like, because walking in on someone on the toilet because they didn't realize there was a lock on the door is embarrassing for both parties.
Now here's the issue.
I've developed this routine that I do whenever I go to the restroom. I walk up to the door, listen for 1 second for any obvious noises, then knock 3 times, wait 2 seconds for a reply, then peer in the door at the window....
And then I leap into the restroom, and face the toilet to make sure that there isn't a vampire sitting there that I couldn't see through the mirror.
I am not making this up.
For the record, I don't believe that vampires exist, I don't believe in any other creatures that could be invisible through a mirror, and I don't think that a vampire would be using the toilet if they did exist, either.
I have literally no idea as to why I do this, and I want to know if anyone has this, or if I'm just totally paranoid or something.
I've never heard of a problem like this before.
