How to Operate the Shower Curtain by Ian Frazier - Article Example

For example, he mentions that a few empty shampoo bottles fall in the tub that has been accumulated over time. The reader expects him to request to throw them away; on the contrary, he instructs them to put them back in order. Similarly, the instructions regarding mending the shower curtain and calling for help when none of his techniques work is hilarious. Thus Frazier points to an everyday incident that rather proves to be quirky and troublesome in an amusing way.

Journal Writing This article reminds me of something really annoying, particularly when one is in a rush. Purses, wallets, handbags and all other types of bags sometimes become a nuisance, if anything goes wrong with the straps, zippers, or safety locks. Even the inside pockets of bags and purses are either so tiny or so huge that our belongings get either stuck or lost, respectively. Looking for a bunch of keys, or a receipt/ token/ ticket/ cash can become a hassled task. Fumbling for our belongings in the bags/ purses that we carry every day is rather an annoying thing; but when looked at in retrospection, we might laugh at such incidents.

Once I had to return a scarf to the sales girl in which I had found a defect. I was sure that the receipt of that scarf was tucked safely in one of the pockets of my handbag. Once I spoke with the salesgirl about my problem, she asked for the payment receipt in order to proceed with the ‘Return Policy’ of the shop. It all started when I started looking for the receipt. I literally had to empty the contents of my handbag over the payment counter and was getting so embarrassed in front of the salesgirl and the cashier.

I finally found it in a corner and was so relieved! Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I always take a very long time while buying purses or handbags because the memory of that particular incident makes me feel fidgety.
