Default The plastic bag dilemma

I'm not crazy.

A few weeks ago I woke up in the morning and was about to hop in the shower and before I jump in I notice a plastic bag sitting in my tub.

I thought it was weird but thought maybe somehow it got in there without me knowing so I didn't think much of it.

Fast forward to tonight. I get home like an hour ago about to hop in the shower and again there's a plastic bag in the tub. I've never seen this bag in my life and am trying to remember for the life of me what the other bag looked like but because I didn't think much of it at the time I didn't really pay attention.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I live alone, no pets, the doors were locked and no forced entry and why would someone break in, not take anything just to leave a bag in the tub?

There is some writing on the bag so hopefully someone can help me with who uses this bag. I really only shop at NoFrills/wal-mart and it's not from there.

The bag says "quikmate-ez" and "Hilex" in fine print and is a semi clear smallish bag.

Isn't it obvious? Quikmate-ez Hilex is Aramaic for "Thou Shalt Recycle". This is a message from God telling you to give up your worldly possessions and devote your life to the recycling of plastic bags. Take the bags to your local community recycling centre and pray. Only then will His true message become clear.

Sometimes the city flushes them through your water line to clear out gunk. If it is clean, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ace's thought would be mine. Do you rent? Is your landlord doing some work that you don't know about? Has he had a contractor in? Does a buddy with a mind to pranks have a key? Anyone have a key? I'd be tempted to think that someone's playing with you a bit.

A quick google search shows that Hilex is likely Hilex Poly, a Japanese company that makes plastic bags, and that "quikmate-ez" is a type of bag that they make.

you could just have some sort of ghost or spirit in your place.
poltergeist, or however you spell it.

have you had a recent breakup? maybe a vengeful ex had a spell or hex put on you.

Makes me think of the reddit post where a guy thought his landlord was leaving notes in his apartment, turns out to be carbon monoxide poisoning. https://np.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/..._in_apartment/

I own, and my friends don't have a key and my doors were locked when I got home and all windows locked.

Only explanation is your house is haunted. Good luck sleeping ever again.

What have you bought recently that would have had any kind of bags with it. I'd go through that list.

One time we accidently had an extra cat in our house. Both us and out neighbours have black cats and somehow both were in our house for a few days.

do you have a significant other that could be doing something weird sexually with a plastic bag?

you could set up a hidden camera if this continues to happen; nothing says "caught you" like a surveillance video.

My fiance sometimes uses a plastic bag so her hair doesn't get wet in the shower.

Do you have someone that would want to keep their hair dry while showering stay at your place?
