A local pharmacy in Texas was forced to temporarily close after employees reported an alarming situation inside: “bodily fluid everywhere.” The store had taped a hastily handwritten note to the door—apparently written on receipt paper—that read, “Closed for now. Give us time, please. There’s bodily fluid everywhere.” A photo of the unsettling sign was later shared on r/SignsWithAStory, where more than 6,000 users followed the pharmacy’s unusual ordeal and dozens weighed in with their reactions.
“I kinda want to know what happened, ngl,” one commenter remarked, earning nearly a thousand upvotes from others who were just as curious. What exactly was happening inside that local pharmacy? Pretty_Resident6206, the user who posted the photo, offered only one comment: a response to another person’s disturbing story about something their wife experienced while working as a pharmacy technician. In short, it involved an angry elderly man who allegedly sabotaged the bathroom for other customers—then left behind a trail of human waste.
Reddit Quickly Feared the Worst About What Had Happened at the Pharmacy
As unpleasant as such an incident may sound, many commenters suggested that something similar was likely happening at the Texas pharmacy. “The answer is almost always diarrhea or vomit,” one user wrote. “Someone’s leakin’,” another agreed. Others echoed the sentiment, saying these situations are often caused by a customer who is ill, acting inconsiderately, or struggling with mental health or age-related issues.
“The fact that they felt the need to put up a sign means it was bad enough to have happened more than once,” a third person pointed out. A fourth commenter added that pharmacies aren’t the only businesses where employees have to deal with cleaning up bodily fluids left behind by customers. “I worked in retail. I’ve seen all sorts of bodily fluids in places they absolutely had no business being,” they recalled.
Several others pointed out other issues commonly seen at pharmacies, including businesses being understaffed to properly handle accidents such as bodily fluid spills, or customers avoiding the stores after such disasters. Unfortunately, in the case of this particular Texas pharmacy, without OP’s insight, no one will ever know for sure.
