A truly great invention to appear in the last decade or so is the swimsuit dryer. I know, creative name, right? But you know what I'm talking about - the little square machine. You lift the lid and throw your suit in the basket, it shakes and rattles and rolls and ten seconds or so later, your suit is relatively dry. All good, right?
You'd think. But you'd be wrong.
I actually go swimming tonight. I've got a long run tomorrow, so I figure I'll take a nice, easy swim and rest my legs for the run tomorrow. I finish, go shower up, and head to the "spinner." Only one guy in front of me. No problem, he's already spinning his suit, I'll be up in seconds.
Nope. Still spinning.
And spinning.
And spinning.
No joke. You know how you have to hold down the lid to make it work? This guy was practically taking a nap laying on the thing!
About two minutes later, his suit was probably on fire from the friction, he finally stops the spinner and pulls out his suit.
Thank the lord.
And then he shoves another suit from his other hand into the machine and starts all over again.
Oh for the love of Pete!
Nothing like a nice relaxing swim...
