It happened this morning...again I ask why me?
I am getting ready to check out of my hotel. I have all my stuff packed and of course being the girl I am I have more bags then one would think ones needs for a two night stay in a hotel.
Computer bag slung over one shoulder, purse over the other, shopping bag in hand and trolley suitcase in tow. I head for the elevator. I push the button and wait. The doors open and there is a man and a woman already on the elevator. I proceed inside and the door closes. I push the handle down on my suitcase and from my bag comes a very loud humming noise.
My heart sinks....and I immediately realize I have not taken the batteries out of my toys. My bag is vibrating and now causing the plastic wheel on my bag to click against the marble floor of the elevator. I nonchalantly try to slide my foot under my bag but that just caused the toys in my bag rattle against one another and made the sound echo even louder in the space of the tiny elevator.
I stood frozen pretending not to hear the noise. It was a long ride down from the 26th floor. I think the elevator was now in slow motion. I could no longer ignore it any more. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my cell phone hoping to pass it off as my phone. I reached in my other pocket pulled out my other cell phone. There was no disguising this noise...I was mortified.
Finally the elevator stops and I quickly exit....I move off to the side to rectify my little problem and the gentleman behind me smiles at me and says "Sounds like more then a cell phone in your bag". At that point all I could do was laugh.
So how is your Friday going?
