How to spend a shitful afternoon

So I’m doing a dropoff at the airport this afternoon, and the best MO I have for doing this is to chuck everyone off at the departure line, then zip around to the McDonalds in the carpark and avail myself of a coffee until those doing the seeing-off bit are ready to be picked up.  Beats $30 for short term parking fees.

 

I’m propped up in Maccas with a nice coffee, and I go to put my canalphones in so I can watch some iPhone videa while waiting.

 

SCRUNCH.

 

Hmm, that doesn’t seem right.

 

Withdraw right earbud to discover the silicone tip has decided to hop off the end of the speaker assembly and is now wedged in my ear canal.  Fantastic.  Bloody wonderful.  Ripper.  No way in hell that’s coming out with fingers, and the crap service station next door doesn’t sell tweezers or a small first aid kit with a pair in it.  Excelsior.

 

So muggins here gets to sit there for half an hour, *then* drive 50km back home, all with a lump of scrunched up silicone putting pressure on my ear canal and the flange around my eardrum.
