Mishaps with the dental cleaner

Tweet

Hello fellow mylotters. I just got a new dental toy, a water pik. Looks easy enough to use, and very common sense. I glanced over the instructions. I plugged the thing in. I washed out the reservoir and filled with water. I put the pic in my mouth and turned it on. Nothing. Thought it was broke. Ah, silly me, forgot that I had turned off the light switch because I used the hair dryer yesterday. So I flip the switch. Forgetting to put the pic in my mouth. Water all over my clothes that I just set in the bathroom before I showered. Turned it off, then put the pic in my mouth and turned it back on. Opened my mouth to see where my teeth were at so I could aim the thing between the teeth. Water all over the mirror this time. One of my cats, Bootsie, is sitting by the 3/4 way closed door, peering at me with a perplexed look on his face. I continue cleaning my teeth. Forgot to spit, water filled my mouth and began dripping on the floor while I'm trying to find the gap in between my teeth. Still not learning one of the first lessons, I open my mouth to find the gaps. Realize my mistake as water bounces off my teeth onto the floor, the sink and the mirror. I take the pic out of my mouth without turning off the thing. More water everywhere. Bootsie still watching intently, apparently enjoying the show. Once more water fills my mouth and I spit, forgetting to turn the thing off. Water on the walls, mirror and floor. Turned the thing off, and grabbed the dental floss to clean my teeth. Fellow mylotters, have you ever had an experience quite like this, with some tool you have never used before?
