Like I do regularly, I walked into the bathroom with my telescope in my hand to peek out the back window. The sky looked like it’s brightening up, so I wanted to see if the clouds were thinning. I don’t like to look out the window in this room because the neighbor’s window is right there. I don’t know if they even know that I am visually impaired, and I would rather not seem like a nosy person.

As I was turning away from the window, my elbow bumped the curtain or something. I don’t really know what happened, but I watched in slow motion, and my hand opened, and the monocular flew out of my hand. It was a perfect shot straight into the toilet. It didn’t hit the seat or anything. Of course, it was more like a perfect shot in basketball, so it splashed right into the middle of the shitter.

Needless to say, the telescope went directly into the trash. There’s no way in hell that was going anywhere near my face, and especially not near my eyes. Who knows what could have gotten into it? It’s not just the piss and shit that could have contaminated it. I was truthfully more concerned about the cleaners that could have been in there or whatnot.

This is one of those times when I am so genuinely thankful that I have found a fairly cheap monocular that I like. They work well enough for me, and they’re only about $25 or so to buy, so it’s not a big deal if I lose or break one. Sure, a more expensive one would be better, but it’s nice not to have to think too much about the cost of replacing these. The one I dropped in the toilet was an older one that I just left upstairs anyways.

It takes skill to accidentally toss something into the toilet and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m proud to have that skill!
