One example of where you will find me,
Is many locations inside of one building.

When I'm new I'm remarkably plain,
But after first use, I'm never the same,
People clean me a lot, but I'm never like new,
The changes come off, but leave residue.

You will have seen me in your early years,
I'm definitely a tool for the eyes, not the ears,
But there is a sound that I can make,
To cause the strongest man to quake.

I feel I should give more of a clue,
But I don't want to make it too easy for you.

I may have bored you, or enthralled,
But can you tell me what I'm called?

doehead Aug 31, 2011	Although this was a good riddle, I knew the answer immediately. Not to burst the writers bubble, but I have seen this before in a magazine. And a to GiMi & AS

Chobuck Aug 31, 2011	My first thought was of a shiny waxed floor and the sound of rubber soled shoes squeaking across it.

MagicPurple Aug 31, 2011	I said eraser. We have dry erase boards, but that's a really good teaser.
