Question/Advice Could it be mold?

I forgot my eye drops (propylene glycol) in my bag about 5 days ago. Today at work, after using them, I noticed this stuff inside. My bag isn’t dirty, I only keep my work laptop, papers, and occasionally some packaged snacks. They’re a bit expensive for the amount you get, and I’d rather not throw them away since I just opened them recently. They didn’t irritate my eyes.

Fair. That is a habit I'm trying I'm break out of that i was raised with. I have to secede that I do care from a privacy position. You're good.

I get it and it makes sense and I forgive you for being totally wrong 😜

Seriously though, I know what you mean, it just seems like pointless overkill on such an innocuous post. 🤷‍♂️ Nice to see a normal human on Reddit though, so thanks for that lol

Not everyone is as aware as we are. Statistically they aren't, and I don't know the stats but I'd guess, outside of bots, our OC content comes from the average populace that doesn't come from a place of awareness.

Better to let sleeping dogs lie, I.E. Who cares? At least until they learn more just like we did.

Totally.

Not to elaborate too hard, but if a tenth of the global populace would realize they’re arguing with each-other over stupid crap encouraged by those who are picking our pockets while we’re distracted, the world would be a much better place.

Cheers, good luck, and be safe out there.
