What the...?

This blog is dedicated to Carley. Here's the blog you wanted me to write. :-)

Ok, WOMEN you'll feel my pain. Have you ever gone to a public restroom and everything is automatic. Now..you would think this is wonderful, you don't have to touch any germ infested knobs. I HATE them!! Why you ask...because they NEVER work. Imagine me going to the ladies room, finding the cleanest stall (that's very important), and before I can do anything the stupid toilet flushes THREE times!! Now, I hate being anywhere near a toilet when it flushes. I actually hold my breath, because once I heard a doctor on Oprah (so you know it's true) that germs fly up 8 feet. So..needless to say I flush and run. So, here I am TOTALLY grossed out, but I still have to go to the restroom. Anywho, I do what was needed and GUESS WHAT the sensor decides not to work anymore. So, now I'm waving my hands in front of it and spinning in circles to get that stupid thing to flush. Then reality sets in...I'm going to have to push the germ infested button beside the sensor. AND YOU KNOW everybody who has touch it hasn't had a chance wash their hands yet. So, I grab a piece of toilet paper to push the button and run!!

Now, we're at the automatic sinks. These are the sinks that split water. So, after waving my hands again it finally splits a few drops at me, then I look for the automatic hand soap. Now, anybody who was watching me had to get a giggle because I was waving my hands in front of the sensor, NOTHING..right when I would give up, THEN it would decide to split soap. This went on for a good four missed soap splits before I finally caught it. Now, back to the automatic water. It took a while but finally I could leave the modern day nightmare.

Moral of this story..always flush and run, AND keep anti-bacteria soap in your purse, in case of a modern day meltdown. :-)
