I Was Attacked by the Paper Towel Dispenser

Y'all.

I was attacked by the automatic paper towel dispenser in the break room.

I cut my finger so badly that I've been told I probably should have gone to get stitches.

So here is what happened.

I was making my oatmeal this morning on the counter in front of the automatic paper towel dispenser. One of my movements apparently triggered the dispenser to dispense a paper towel, but because I didn't do it on purpose, the noise startled me.

In my state of startledness (um...not a word, but we're going to just go with it), my hands jolted up away from my body slamming into the dispenser causing the front panel to pop off, ripping a huge gash of skin from my finger AND fingernail while doing so!

I don't understand how these weird freak accidents keep happening to me at work. I'm sure we all remember the staple incident.

They are going to make me start wearing a helmet around here, and at this point I really can't say that's a bad idea.

So in hindsight, I'm not sure if the paper towel dispenser attacked me or if I attacked the paper towel dispenser.

Either way, I think it is safe to say that the paper towel dispenser won the battle.
