Oops
I thought I broke the faucet at the dentists. The hygenist was scraping away at my teeth with the knitting needle thingy and encouraging me to spit in the sink every so often. Scrape, scrape. Spit. Scrape, scrape. Spit. She caught me staring disturbedly into the sink and said "You can hit the button to run the water to wash out the sink. I have to get some toothpaste out of the other room, I'll be right back."
Eager to rinse out the sink I pressed the button and held down on it as I watched bits of my gums wooshing down the drain. When I let go, the water didn't stop. It kept running. I pressed it again thinking I had to click it off. It kept running. Press, press, press. I was getting nervous. I broke the dentitst's faucet! I looked around nervously as the water continued to run. What would I say? How do I tell her I broke it? Should I just pretend I don't notice? I was nervously tapping on the faucet, tap tap tap, as the hygenist returned. "Oh that. It takes awhile to shut off, it always worries people." Oh.
