Moulting Woman Smears Hair On Bathroom Wall Like An Animal Marking Its Territory

Running spread fingers through her wet hair during her weekly hair wash, university student and part time backstage volunteer, Selina Tellidis, has once again decided to smear her moulting hair on the wall of her shared bathroom.

Despite sharing a bathroom with three other people, Tellidis says she can’t help it and doesn’t even realise she’s doing it half the time.

“There’s just something inside urging me to leave the hair there, you know?”

“One minute I am looking at this clump of wet hair I’ve just pulled out of my head, and the next it’s on the wall”

When looking at the wall of the shared bathroom, which sits outside and is clearly a non-regulation add-on, it’s hard to believe the hair smearing is random. Dark brown hair clumps sit in every corner of the shower, with tentacles trailing out either side to form a grotesque frame around each wall.

According to one ethologist, Tellidis’s hair smearing is a subconscious remnant of our animal ancestry and she’s merely displaying a simple territorial act.

“Ms. Tellidis is actually just marking her territory. Where some animals might urinate or secrete some other bodily fluid, Ms. Tellidis is pulling out her hair and leaving that – this explains the boundary-like appearance of the hair placement”, said Professor Posay, the University of Queensland’s leading ethologist.

Whether it is the outcome of Tellidis’s territorial act, or simply because showering in a bathroom covered in hair is disgusting, the other hygiene seeking humans in the share house are steering clear of the hair-ridden non-regulation bathroom.

More to come.
