At Taiwan’s Keelung Museum, a well-meaning volunteer spotted a dusty mirror and thought, “Time to shine!” One enthusiastic wipe later, poof—$0 in damages, infinite existential crisis.

The museum apologized; the artist sighed; the volunteer now patrols with a magnifying glass and a philosophy degree.
