When coffee doesn't wake you up...

As if friday mornings are not miserable enough, some of them have booby traps attached. Now, there is this thing in my mind about electric buttons and switches. Whenever I see one, it somehow appeals to my mind to tinker with it. The more innocent it looks, the greater the attraction to put it's functionality to the test. So, this morning, I was at

Some experience. :) But I agree with you on buttons and devices
being irresistible. Every day on my way to/from work, I am tempted
to pull the bright red to-stop-train-pull-chain.

oh yeah, i do remember that one. I've often wondered why all such "use with caution" things are mostly marked red. rather than a dangerous colour, red attracts attention and one can never seem to get it out of their mind, until you've actually done it.

Hehe, I remember TV remotes having a "do nothing button". Kept on pressing it all the time.

simple motto, "If its meant to be pressed, press it". gets as addictive as bubble wraps! :)

Err, it seems more like if it's not going to electrocute you, press it :-p

Funny experience, and quite a close shave!

*LOOOOOOL*!!!! omg, brilliant! XD I understand you so well, buttons whose function is unclear are sooo tempting! But what a coincidence. *lol* Do you think you'll ever press a random button again, or are you traumatized for life? ;)

[mona1610]

it is absolutely tempting! like bubble wraps and scribbling doodles. the whole thing seems quite funny in retrospect... but i was a scared cat back then. mostly becoz everything happened so fast i barely had time to comprehend! the very nature of random buttons calls for pressing them.. so I guess it's not the last time surely! ;)

Phew! I can imagine how you must have felt :-)some experience it was....lol

[mona1610]

it all happened to quickly for me to realize what was happening.. i can't even imagine how long the jokes would run if I'd opened my mouth to confess and then the fire drill was announced! :P

[ts_m]

he he he well, thats true...you wouldn't have survived that ::wink:: lol

Hilarious. I would have been in a panic mode. Seriously. Your post made me laugh!

thankfully my super confused brain also absorbs shocks a little slower. :)
