My T was getting new carpets and put out feelers whether clients would mind taking their shoes off ( which I was OK with) , so when he got the carpet he points out a plastic lined box which I thought was to put your shoes in ( which I did ) but it was a dispenser which puts polythene covers on your shoes when you put your foot in it. Nifty , but then I was experiencing a primal fear that it was going to chop my foot off ! Another time the whole side of the road had a power failure and the lights went out and it was nearly pitch black. My T didn't react to this at all and I was like " Um , the lights have just gone out ?! "
