So, in the psych ward, they take away your phone. Which means goodbye TikTok, YouTube, and every form of entertainment that keeps me sane. Naturally, I had to make my own fun.

this guy on my unit. I dared him to strip down to his boxers, go into the bathroom, and wrap himself head to toe in as much toilet paper as he could get his hands on. The mission come out, walk around the ward, and scream “I AM A MUMMY!”

The man actually did it. He bursts out, TP covering everything but his eyes skipping around the hall while nurses are frantically trying to catch him. I swear at least two people thought they were hallucinating.

I was dying laughing until I realized I might’ve actually screwed him over. Now the staff is probably going to assume he’s “declining in mental structure” or having some sort of psychotic episode, when really he was just committing to the bit.

I just wanted some entertainment. Instead, I might’ve sabotaged someone’s progress report. My bad.

TL;DR No phone in the psych ward, so I dared a guy to turn himself into a toilet paper mummy and parade around. He did it. Nurses now think he’s unwell.
