Me - The weirdest thing happened today after you left for work. I went to do my regular tidying and there was this...pile of whitish/pale orange stuff in the tub. I touched it and it was like a thick liquid, kind of. Where my finger had been it left a peak and it was big gross puddle. I looked at the vent above the shower and everything and I can't -imagine- what it could have been! I even ran the tub thinking that it would rinse it out but it didn't. The water didn't even rinse away the peak that my finger had made. I had to scrub and scrub to get rid of it. Do you have ANY idea what it could have been?
Him -...no?
Me - What! You have Extreme Guilt Face like the dog! What did you do to my shower?!
Him - I didn't do anything.
Me - What the hell, then? Why do you have Guilt Face?!
Him - You don't want to know.
Me - (in a frenzy of curiousity and irritation) Honest to God, dude, what was it, you're driving me crazy!
Him - Okay, you asked for it...
Me - YES! I did! What was it?
Him - *sighing* Well, you know that certain entities do leave behind a residue of sorts...
Me - After all that you're telling me that it was ECTOPLASM?!
Him - *nods seriously* Seems likely.

It sounds to me like a slime mold, although I've only ever seen them growing on damp wood. Do you have a wooden shelf it could have appeared on and then plopped into the tub and Paul was just too clueless to notice?
Nope, no shelf at all in the tub. We have only a narrow, plastic towel bar in the shower that holds our 4 bathing necessities. There is no other shelf or anything else in there. There is a light fixture directly over the tub(which, really doesn't seem that wise does it) but if liquid is coming out of that I'm gonna be disturbed. Good guess, though! Way better than anything that I came up with so far!
I can't believe you touched it.
GROSS!!!!!!! What on earth? I would never sleep until I knew what the heck that was! Could it just be dried up shampoo or hair goop or something? Had Paul already showered in there that morning?

Might have been something that crawled up out of the drain and was waiting there to (OOPS!) better stop or you'll never want to shower again!
We had both already showered that day, but I compared the goo to our shampoo, conditioner etc and it was not the same. Plus we had new full bottles of said products and a pile this big would have emptied 1/4 of the bottle.
I'm fairly concerned in general as to what it was...but I'm stymied so I can't go nuts about it.
EWW!
What does it smell like??
Wow I am so stumped...especially since you showered. I think you better removed the vent above the shower and the light bulb and investigate. Could be something leaking from the suite upstairs? An also I am with J....what does it smell like? It sounds almost like some sort of turpentine or something.

#1) I did a little test and the vent above the shower is not actually above it, its a foot or so away and there's no way anything could have fallen from it into the middle of the shower. The light is directly above the shower though so I guess I should check that out.
#2) There is no suite above us, we are on the second/top floor.
#3) I did not specifically bend down to smell it, but as I was cleaning it up I noticed no smell at all.
