A Reddit user recently came across a strange sight in their apartment complex. Somebody, at some point in time, gathered a bunch of packets of sauce from Taco Bell and placed one in front of each door in the hallways of the user's apartment. Mystified, the user decided to snap a picture and share it with the Mildly Interesting community.

In regular internet fashion, the post sparked debates and conversations, ranging from if somebody would want to find a sauce packet at their doorstep, to what kind of person would leave the packets on the ground like that in the first place.

The picture seems innocuous at a glance. It shows a carpeted hallway with a few doors leading to different units. But when you look closely enough, you can see the sauce packets on the ground, one in front of each of the four doors pictured. There's also a fifth sauce packet in the middle of the hallway, far away from any of the doors.

The post has received a lot of positive attention in the days since it was first uploaded. It's gained over 24 thousand upvotes, and a few awards to boot. Hundreds of people couldn't help but share their thoughts in the comment section of the post.
