There's a ghost in your house that's trying to tell you "rectangle", but it's illiterate.
Try to figure out what "rectangle" means.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Nah, just means that the mirror can't render the Unicode character that the ghost has sent.
It was the poop emoji
or the eggplant emoji. its placed after a shower.
There are coatings /sprays for this
Would make for a great practical joke.
You can also just rub some shaving cream on it and wipe it off.
Or soap
Or rain-x anti-fog or similar coating to achieve the same.
Or a secret room behind the mirror at a warmer temperature
Oh high neighbors! No, no, I'm not shaving the car again! This is so it doesn't fog!
This reminds me of something I heard on the radio a million years ago:

Here's Click and Clack from the Car Talk radio show
Putting this show on is so bittersweet. I miss this from my upbringing and these two guys were so great; I was genuinely sad when I heard one of them had passed
I'll try to get the timestamp for the relevant part, but the title of the episode hopefully gives a hint and it's worth listening to it in the entirety anyways
Edit: alright, the timestamp is 31:50!
Edit 2: I forgot to include who it is

Maybe somebody's stashing delicious freshly baked goods back there?
It's a two-way mirror and there's a camera on the other side recording you 24/7.
Isn’t a two-way mirror just a window? I think you meant “one way mirror.”
No. English is just hella stupid. 🤣
A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror...
How many ways is a normal mirror, then? Do we call it a "no way mirror"?
wouldn't a one-way mirror only be used "one way" and a two-way mirror be used in "two ways"?
While a no-way mirror is a mirror owned by a vampire.

jokes on them, I'm already pornhub famous.
Nice butthole!
Uninsulated heat leak behind.
There is probably a hole cut into the wall there.
If you want an innocent explanation, then it's entirely possible that there used to be a medicine-cabinet-style mirror there. It looks like it's about that size and would fit in that location. Those medicine cabinets are recessed into the wall and so they require a hole to be cut in the wall. When they installed the large mirror, they didn't think it was worth it to repair the hole, since they were covering it up with a mirror.
If the hotel is fairly old, it might have had something like that in the past.
But since there is no way of knowing that for sure, if I was in that room, I'd assume there's a camera behind there, too.
Some hotels just put a hydrophilic coating on their mirrors. https://fsicti.com/markets/architectural-building/bathroom-mirror-shower-door/

that’s the two-way section
These are such a good idea. It works by having a heater behind the mirror which prevents the condensation.
