Some things are that way for a reason

So, I'm at a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game tonight. In the third period (ASIDE: when a game has 4 parts, they're quarters, when it has 2, they're halves. When it has 9, they're innings. What the heck are they when it has 3????), after a (large) beer, it was definitely time for a potty run.

I go into the (very cool) bathroom, do my business, then come out and go to wash my hands. There's a whole long counter with probably 10 sinks; 8 of the 10 have water splashed all around them. Water on the counter of a sink is one of my pet peeves (not sure why), so I head for one of the two sinks on the end that has no water.

I hold my hands under the touchless faucet.....and nothing happens. I shift my hand position. Still nothing. I wave my hands frantically....nope. Nuttin'.

So I go to the OTHER sink that has so splashing around it. Same deal.

So, admitting defeat, I go to a watery sink, wash my hands while standing a foot away from the counter so my pants don't get wet (thereby getting even MORE water on the counter), dry, and leave.

But at least I know now why those sinks were the only ones without water on the counters!
