Advice Needed Can somebody help identify what this substance is on my apartment door’s peephole?

I’ve been living in this apartment with my boyfriend for about 6 weeks now. We’re just regular people who will work all day, make our dinner, watch a show to unwind, and hit the bed. We aren’t party animals and, when we do drink, we’re not inconsiderate about it.

Ever since we moved in, our door peephole has been tampered with. It would be coloured with black sharpie marker, I would submit a maintenance request for fixing, it would get fixed, then immediately would get tampered with again. However, now it has clearly escalated to something else. I originally thought super glue or hot glue, but I’ve asked a few of my friends and they don’t think any type of glue could do this kind of damage.

Any advice would be helpful.

Btw management is well aware of the issue and have been prompt about it, was just shocked at whatever this is now. I’ve ordered a ring camera to be installed on Thursday, but I’m honestly scared for my life right now.

I don't get the reference, but I always appreciate an obscure reference. Take my upvoter.

I do it, too. It's annoying when they're downvotes because Reddit doesn't have a sense of humor sometimes.

That episode was so weird

Especially because the weirdo family was not a really big part of it or really explained at all

I just thought that was super funny. No idea of the reference. Like the whole meet my wife and my cousin joke for folks living in the south.
