Writes Bri in St. Paul, Minnesota: “I work at a University help desk that employs mostly students. Since their shifts are short, they have a habit of leaving all kinds of random things at the desk, much to the chagrin of many of my co-workers” — and the devilish glee of others.

Nah, that’s not my hair band either. I prefer Motley Crue.

Looks like more of a head band to me.

(attempt 2) Insert picture of mustached London Dapper Dan impaled on a piece of wood with a snarky note scribbled underneath: “and THIS is my chap stick.”

So that’s what happened to Bootsy’s Rubber Band!

I’ve always pictured help-desk geeks as bespectacled and pimple-faced folks with poor social skills.
Now I have to add chapped lips to the image in my mind’s eye.

For Pete’s Sake, people.
Just throw the stuff away. There’s no reason to leave it sitting around gathering PA notes and dust.

Well, if McGyver gets trapped in there, he could fashion a fairly lethal one-shot chap-stick catapult.

Is that Whitesnake?
I’m in St. Paul–it’s a bit extra fun to see PAN from your own city/locale!

Indians commonly call headbands “Hair Bands” according to my Indian colleague…

My question is why do they keep their first aid kit in a Tupperware container? Did one of the students leave THAT behind after lunch?

Scene: bespectacled, pimple-faced geek frantically searching through desk drawers
Geek: “Where did that hair band get to? I know I put it in here after the neighbors complained about the noise they were making. Why can’t they just rehearse without the amps?”
Geek Friend: “Dude, you left that down at the help desk. They’ve been there all week putting chap stick on their lips and eating everyones lunch out of the office fridge.”
Geek: ” For Fuck Sakes. I’d better call Sandra and ask her to put them in my drawer in the fridge. I don’t want to get another note from elaine.”
Geek 2: “Yeah dude. Bad Hair Band You.”

Funny chapstick story: Friend C was walking with her friend A. She asked if he had chapstick she could borrow/use. He reached in his pocket for one and handed it to her. After she used it and handed it back, he said, “Mine is in one pocket, that one is the one I give to everybody who asks me if i have chapstick they can borrow.”

In case anyone cares, the “hair band” in question is CRIMSON GLORY…I still rock it out on occasion.

Bonus WTF? – blow that pic up and you will see said hair band is wearing metallic half face masks. I guess the masses of teased and sprayed hair were not quite enough – they went for the a post-modern Phantom of the Opera look as well.

People who work eight-hour shifts are also capable of leaving random shit behind.
