Sink Technology Innovations
My dorm room my freshman year of college had a sink and mirror in it. This was nice because my roommate and I could brush our teeth and shave in the room if we wanted (any time spent not wearing shower shoes is time well spent).
One day I decided I looked scruffy enough and decided to shave.
I got out my shaving stuff, put on some shaving cream, turned on the hot water and started. After one stroke with the blade I ‘cleaned’ it. I did this again. And again.
Without realizing it, I was tapping the blade on the stopper in the sink.
I realized that soon enough when water starting filling up.
Uh oh.
I had completely closed the stopper (one of those metal ones that push up or down, simple enough).
I tried to get my fingers between the stopper and the metal around it to pry it up. No dice. I got out a penny – not thin enough. Eventually I dug out my Swiss Army knife (I really have no idea why I thought I would need this, but it turns out I did use it. Once. Definitely worth it.). I was able to get the blade in to pry open the stopper.
That’s when I noticed, between the cold and hot water taps was the metal part that you simply push or pull to open or close the stopper.
It’s not that I had never used a sink like this before, it’s just that I’m a moron.
And if you need further proof – I did the SAME EXACT THING about a month later.
(The second time I did that I told my English class about it and my professor told me that’s not the sort of thing I should tell people. I told her, in my head, ‘yeah? well you’re ugly.’)
