Who Gives A Shit: Snooping

Let me set the scene: you're at your friends house for dinner. At some point during the night, you slip away to the bathroom. As you're standing at the sink washing your hands post pee, you catch your reflection in the mirror of the medicine cabinet. THE MEDICINE CABINET!? WTF IS IN THAT THING???
