Toot

Written by Owen Tyme on 2025-01-21 at 22:20

@Chrishallbeck Reminds me of being oh, about three or four years old and picking up a hose with a garden sprayer on the end, not knowing what it was.

I pointed it right in my face and pressed the handle. Got the fright of my life, because it sprayed water in my face!

I was silent through the whole thing, because I was too scared to scream.

Oh, and this was in a grocery store, in the produce section. Seems like stores have automated misters now, instead of those hoses.
