¿Question #227281?
Woelf: At work, in the office bathroom, the very last sheet of Kleenex (tissue) has been sitting in its box, untouched, for nearly two weeks at this point. No one wants to use the last piece. What's your prediction for when it will finally get used?

Woelf: [Originally asked June 22nd] It may have been touched by the first person to realize it was the last piece, but it has not been touched since then because it's partially folded in a specific position that has not changed at all during the stated timeframe. There is not currently a spare box to replace it, which is certainly a factor. // [UPDATE - July 8th] It's still there! The tissue has shifted position slightly, likely because the box got picked up and moved while the bathroom was being cleaned. [UPDATE - July 27] Over a month and a half at this point, and still no changes! How long could it possibly last? [FINAL UPDATE! August 8th] It's finally over! After sitting for nearly two full months, the last tissue has been removed, and a new box has taken its place! There was a near-miss two weeks ago when a coworker who usually works offsite was in the office for the day; the position of the tissue within the box changed, so he must have tried to take it only to put it back after realizing it was the last one.
TomTi89: I'll do it. Send me a GeekMail about where you work, and I'll pretend to be the new guy for a day. Won't use the tissue, but will dispose of it for you.

RealGuest: It's definitely not untouched unless it is a clear container
Fribian: No wonder the toilet paper vanishes so quickly.
BOBBYCAN: I bet a lot of people have touched it, to see that it's the only one in the box. So I predict it is never used, is thrown away instead, so a new box can be opened.
