every room has only a finite number of cool doodads at any given time. the room will be cleaned eventually, it just might take a little longer. not to mention that the extra time will be spent discussing cool doodads and will thus be time well spent.
you bring up a good point that my original comment blindly assumed the cleaner would be a mortal. if they are immortal and thus able to spend an infinite amount of time on each doodad, then we might be in some real trouble here. depending on how interesting the doodads are, there’s a chance the room will be occupied forever. the only solution i can think of would be to lure the cleaner out with increasingly cooler doodads, but this may be easier said than done.
Cleaning crews are mostly one person unless you’re dealing with some large corporate facility. One ADHD person distracted by one interesting item in the space they’re cleaning and the whole thing goes down.
That sounds like a disaster. All it will take is finding a single cool looking doodad and the entire cleaning crew will be occupied for hours
Yea, but that’d be worth it. We’d have found a cool doodad.
Makes me wonder what this doodad might be. Guess I should start googling cool doodads instead of finishing my status report…

You found that cool doodad they put somewhere they wouldn’t forget months ago.

That’s assuming you can only spend a finite amount of time on each cool doodad and can’t switch between them.
