So the place where I work apparently isn't washing their mop heads. I constantly find myself having to replace the water in the bucket/wringer because the mops are so filthy they turn clear water brown in just one dip. Even if the water is clean, the mops aren't, and I hate having to clean the floors with them.

I've brought this up a couple of times. One manager said we are supposed to wash the mop heads, but as there's no way to really wash the mop heads (there's a hose in the back to fill the buckets and that's about it), I believe she may be bluffing to save face. Another person told me our standard protocol is to use the mop heads repeatedly until they're worn out, after which we toss them and order new ones. There's occasionally a small voice in my head telling me I should take all the heads off the mops, bring them home to wash them, and return them nice and clean first thing in the morning. But I know I can't do that.

Is this as big of a deal as I feel like it is, or is it ultimately a big nothingburger? I am diagnosed with OCD and I'm wondering if it's just that. Still, my gut feeling about the situation is hard to ignore.

It was on Fanfiction.net until fairly recently. I went to go check it out again and I couldn't find it. I don't remember the title, but I recall some of the plot beats.

Blue, who has dialogue in this, is jealous of Steve for stealing her limelight or something and smothers him in his sleep with a pillow. The text mentions he wakes up at some point during this, but is too weak from oxygen deprivation to push Blue off him.

After Steve dies, Blue tells the rest of the household the following morning and plays dumb as to why he is no longer with them. Blue feels conflicted about her murder of Steve, but becomes possessed, I think, with possibly a demonic entity. Blue dubs this new entity "Red" and it eventually envelops her entire psyche, essentially "smothering" the Blue everyone knows and loves and who struggles to resurface throughout the rest of the story. Blue, under Red's control, makes quick work of terrorizing the rest of the Blue's Clues House.

The story ends with Blue in prison, being visited by Magenta, who has hooked up with Periwinkle and is pregnant with their first child. (I have no idea regarding that, either.)

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure this was intended to be a serious fic. I'm not saying it's on par with any real literary works, but it had too many chapters, in my opinion, to be a simple troll effort.
