Aerodynamic Anomaly

(Warning: This post has to do with feminin hygene products)

I was feel particularly self-descructive on Sunday, so after church I headed on over to the nearest Dunkin Donuts. After some careful consideration ("What do I want to feel bad about eating later...hmmm...") I ordered Eric a breakfast sandwich, and myself a vanilla donut.

It's not a a very busy store, but the drive-thru is crazy busy. There is other customer actually in the store, and he was sitting, reading a paper, and lazily enjoying his coffee. All the employees are concentrating on the drive-thru, and there is one girl empployee left to handle the front of the store by herself.

The employee says that my food is just about up, and I go to the counter to pay, as I am pulling singles out, I accidentally flip a packaged tampon into the air - like a little missile. And it flips right into a box of donuts the she had been boxing up.

I AM STUNNED.

But, I figure, when she comes back, she will see it, be like "WTF?" and throw it away and start another. No harm no foul and I don't have to embarrassingly admit to what I have just accidentally done.

But then she comes back, closes the box, puts it in a bag, and says "Here you go sir!" and the man with the coffee gets up and takes the bag and walks out. And I am SHOCKED AND TOTALLY EMBARRASSED.

And in the back of my head, I could hear myself saying "You should have said something!"

Instead though, I grabbed my food when it came up and ran out of there as fast as I could, lest the man come back all angry and looking for blood. If he did though, he would have a nice absorant tampon to help him on his journey.
