My office had a Chinese New Year/ Lunar New Year celebration during the fourth week of January. By tradition, lots of mandarin oranges were handed out along with snacks.
Brought two back to my desk and ate them. Later on, a coworker dropped by and handed over one orange to everyone sitting at their desks, mine included. Thought of reserving it for tomorrow or some other day, and placed it inside my desk drawer...
...and totally forgot about it. You could see where this is going.
Fast forward to today. Celebrated a team member's farewell luncheon, brought back some can drinks to store. Opened the drawer only to stare at a moldy orange with white spots, and some liquid seeping out from the bottom.
And God knows when that thing has been tranforming, because it has turned entirely GREEN, yet strangely there was no (noticeable) smell, so I must have been inhaling those mold spores for a month! Gave the drawer lots of scrubbing with soap afterwards.
TL;DR: Forgot to eat an orange kept inside a drawer and it became green (pun intended) from mold.
