YOU CAN'T HIDE YOUR PRYING EYES

Heather M. asks: “Is it wrong to snoop in the medicine cabinets of others?”

Ask Red says: Of course it is but that doesn’t stop many of us from cracking open the forbidden door. Statistics show that four out of 10 people you invite to a party will stick their noses in your business. Most will peek and close the door quickly out of guilt. Others take a mental inventory of the meds and creams you’re on to use as gossip fodder later. We are naturally curious creatures but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy. The outcome can yield horrible results. Think Brad Pitt in “Se7en.”: “What’s in the box? What’s in the f*&^ing box?” Or, bear in mind that medicine cabinets can be booby trapped. There are stories of some people filling these depositories with marbles or other goodies meant to surprised the unsuspecting. Happy prying.

Night Shift says: Not only is it wrong it’s pointless.  Everybody expects you to snoop inside the medicine cabinet so only the really innocuous stuff is in there.  The real prizes are in the bottom drawer near the back. That’s where you’ll find the Viagra, herpes medicine and anti-depressants.

Editor's note: If you snoop let's us know what was the most interesting thing you found in someone's medicine cabinet. Post a comment here.
