    Episode Two: Who Pooped In The Bin?

    This week on Rumor Busters, we have TWO anonymous workplace submissions... and somehow, both left us with a lot of questions. 😂 🚽 Who Pooped in the Bin? A mysterious housekeeping note leads an entire workplace to the horrifying realization that someone has been using the feminine waste bin for something it was DEFINITELY not intended for. 🛒 “Ma’am, I Don’t Want Your Husband” An in store shopper finds herself being watched, followed, and confronted by a customer’s wife who is convinced she keeps intentionally running into her husband... when really, she’s just trying to do her damn job. 😭 PLUS, we get completely sidetracked talking about: 😂 Workplace pranks 📼 Things that make us feel painfully nostalgic 👀 A couple of Reddit comments we absolutely had to discuss 🎙️ And, naturally, whatever other rabbit holes we somehow ended up in Two workplace stories. Questionable bathroom behavior. An unnecessarily jealous wife. Pranks. Nostalgia. Reddit. Episode Two is a little bit of everything, and a whole lot of WTF. 🎧 Rumor Busters: Where you have rumors... and we have microphones.
