0001146: Human traders have OCD: Must wash constantly, taking forever to leave
Human traders in the depot are taking an extremely long time to pack up thier things and leave. This is due to the depot getting a little bloodsoaked in goblin related combat. The traders start to pack up thier stuff, get a bit of blood spatter on them from the depot and items, then feel they must crawl all the way to the river to wash before coming back to pack up a little more.

Confirming that this exists and is hilarious, I had an entire caravan follow one swordsman through my entire fort as he traveled to an underground river to wash.

This is an endless loop, sadly.

Due to how blood goes EVERYWHERE, the traders get covered in blood on their way to a depot. They then head to my well, tracking the blood all over the fortress to clean. On the way back they step into their own bloodtrails, getting bloody again. They then go back to the well to clean up, then get bloody again, then clean again...

Eventually they all go melancholy/berserk.
