36C (of course I had to look).

the regular one that the kids use, or a staff one?

Staff, I'm afraid.

You accidently went into the men's room?

there's some quickie action going on there i think--or someone spilled something on themselves.

It was padded. She probably got a bad case of the sweaty boobies. Or someone used the bathroom to change and dropped it. Someone else found it and hung it up so its rightful owner could claim it.

It is a sign from the Lord.

Or the band was cutting into her.

Spilled, I'd guess.

The bigger one's boobs, the more likely one is to splash stuff onto them.

If it were mine, and if it were say red wine on a mint-green bra (though wait, it's a school, how likely is it to be red wine?) I might pop it off for a quick wash.

Pips, can you explain why it's relevant that the window only opens an inch? I mean, it's an interesting detail, but are there hypothetical plot implications I'm missing?

Do teachers know about the fire drills in advance? If not, I'd guess that someone was dealing with something like a spill or broken hook or something, and had to rush out on account of the drill (since I assume most teachers/staff have some immediate function to perform during an emergency or drill).

Or... Someone brings a change of clothes with them for some reason and doesn't notice that the bra has fallen out of their bag. Someone else finds it and hangs it on the hook.

though wait, it's a school, how likely is it to be red wine?
Obviously, you have never worked in a high school. I would be surprised that it wasn't something stronger.

What taz said is probably the closest to reality. I often work out right after work and sometimes I change in the bathrooms at work. So I'm putting on a sports bra and removing a fancy one. It's possible someone was doing just that and dropped the bra, or just hung it on the hook and forgot it in her haste. It may not have anything to do with the drill.

Underpants Poltergeists. Stop complicating things with your fancy complicated theories taz.

heh. The underpants poltergeists must be cousins to the sock vampires (parasitic forms that allow one half of a pair of socks to live while feeding on the other) or the warewolves, who slyly, secretly steal away all the small dessert spoons until you find yourself inexplicably left with only one.

tangerine: Well, see, there was a recent pigeon fiasco in the ladies room, where, apparently, when the window used to open more, one got in and made quite the mess, alla Hitchcock. Since then, the window has been neutered to one inch. So I guess the window was on my mind... a naughty nearby neuron (unless the pigeon brought the bra?)

Our third floor staff ladies room, by the by, has undergone many the change lately, including new soap and wave-of-the-hand towel dispensers and new aluminum stall doors. None of which deals with the main problems of flood and pestilence (I've got Passover on the brain).

I also failed to mention that yesterday was the beginning of our spring break.

Someone say underpants ghosts?
