I think it’s funny how easily we get use to technology and changes. Yet, when something goes “old school” we are stumped. Case in point. Last night I was in a bathroom at Target. Just got done washing my hands. Went and started waving them at the paper towel dispenser. After a minute;of doing my stellar dance moves,I change tactics and go the violent route. Start smacking it with my elbow. After, that doesn’t work I decide it’s empty. Just my luck. So, as I start to walk to the other one. A little girl;probably about 7, asks me if I want help. Which was sweet of her. But in my head I’m thinking, “I’m not some senile old lady kid!” So, I tell her it’s empty. I’m sure it came out condescending. So, I walk over to the other one and start having the same problem. By this point I’m thinking how hard is it to keep paper towels stocked? Next thing I know the little girl is like “Here you go”. I look over and she’s at the original “empty” dispenser. Turning some knob I didn’t see and Lord and behold she’s cranking out paper towels. All I can think is, “Mother fucking Target. Can’t have one of the fancy paper towel dispensers. No, you had to go back to the Stone Age and make me look like a dumbass in front of a 7 year old!” I thanked the kid. But I was silently thinking… bet you couldn’t figure out how to use a rotary phone Miss smarty pants!
