I wasted the better part of a minute today, waving my hand in front of a paper towel dispenser, until a woman came out and looked at me funny. She went to the next towel dispenser, and mechanically manipulated a handle, which caused paper towels to emerge from the slot.
A few days ago, I stood for fully 5 seconds in front of a shop door, waiting for it to open. Needless to say, it wasn't that kind of door.
I'm getting spoiled, people!
I cracked my nose and had to cancel a flight to New York City a few years ago for something similar and much more stupid! It was 5:00AM, and I didn't have much sleep, and I ran smack into a glass door that I thought would open but was one of the panels that didn't! Sheesh! I was sleep-deprived and not paying attention. The doctor said that he thought it was ok, but I swear it's a little crooked now and it has a weird ache. Can we get arthritis in our nose? ...tracie
ReplyDelete...Mmm...no, I don't think so!
ReplyDeleteStill, it's OK to laugh at ourselves now and again!
These days you just sort of expect everything to be automated.
ReplyDeleteAutomatic hand-towels? That is a new one on me.
ReplyDeleteMy best party trick is trying to push on a door that is clearing signed "pull". Then looking through the glass and doing the "are you closed" sign, you know, with the fingers across the throat. Then one of the kind partons, who isn't laughing makes a pulling action. Geez, now that is public humiliation on a grand scale. LOL
LOL, too funny...have you seen the automatic toilets yet?..
ReplyDeleteDam near scared the POOP out of me! lol
