I went to the dentist with my husband the other day. They put us in a little room, took xrays, then left us. In a tiny room. For an hour. Can you say bored?
Oh, to add to the fun, there was no chair for me to sit on! So there I was. Standing there bored. I had already read all the pamphlets. Played with the electric toothbrushes on display. And checked Facebook on my phone several times. Apparently, I don’t do bored well. lol
Then the paper towel dispenser caught my attention.
The paper towel is hanging out because I was trying to see how long I could it. For the record, you have to tug on the paper towel before it will dispense more.
So then I decided to see how close I had to walk to the paper towel dispenser before it would dispense. I was bored, remember? lol
I walked by, getting closer each time. Which was not easy, since the sink is right there next to the dispenser.
All this time, my husband was sitting in the cushy (ha!) dentist chair. Watching his crazy, bored out of her mind, wife.
After about 4 passes by the paper towel dispenser with my shoulder, I came to the conclusion that my shoulder was too short to set off the automatic dispenser. Short person problem #4,357
As I was telling that to my husband, with the dispenser behind my shoulder, it decide that I was indeed tall enough. And dispensed a paper towel onto my shoulder.
I, however, was not expecting it. So I jumped a mile. And jumped away from the dispenser. I may, or may not, have screamed a little. And had a funny, scared face.
Now my husbands boredom was relieved as he laughed his head off at me! I’m sure he wishes he had a video of it!
The moral of this story? Don’t leave me in little room with a paper towel dispenser. Unless you want a good laugh!
thanks so much for participating in the linkup! Love your post, sometimes I look at “new” technology and think, “Is this really better?”
