Leaving Things In Bathrooms

As I posted earlier, I usually make myself a big latté every morning. You don't buy coffee. You rent it. Caffeine, being a diuretic, forces me to make a couple of trips to the restroom at my office. This morning I noticed a pair of glasses sitting next to the washbasin. These weren't sunglasses, they were spectacles. The kind you need in order to see.

"I'm sure somebody will come back soon for these," I thought to myself and left them alone.

About an hour later I had to make a return trip to the restroom (it was a big latté). The glasses were still there! How does this happen? I mean, I can understand if they were sunglasses, or a cell phone, or even a baby. But somewhere in my building there is a guy walking around wondering why he can't see.

I'll go back later this afternoon to see if they have been retrieved.

Afternoon Update: The glasses are gone. One less blind man to worry about on the freeway.
