My garbage is speaking to me

So what do you expect to see when you look in your waste pail? I know I wasn't expecting to see this when I tossed Q-tip in my bathroom garbage. My wife had warned me before she left for work that she'd captured a spider but in my sleepy stupor I didn't catch on that this was what she meant. I think I'm going to make leaving notes in the garbage can a habit from here on. I'll leave paper plates with "I love you" written thereon, or perhaps napkins with "Don't forget the dry cleaning."
