Gadgets with FACES #185 & #186 and Static non-powered objects with FACES #39: Aaron’s fantastic collection
A stunning FIVE separate real-world face spottings from reader “Aaron” who has awkwardly (for us) combined GADGET and NON-POWERED face imagery into one single huge email.
Fortunately, Aaron’s attention detail and sharp eye-for-a-face made compiling this update a pleasure, even though some of the images were in zip files and some weren’t and they were all different shapes and sizes. He also didn’t just nick all these photos off some other face blog and send them in expecting us to be all like “Wow, thanks”.
“Here are several things with faces I’ve found. First there’s a handle on the side of a dehumidifier. There’s an identical face/handle on the other side.”
“Next there’s a mysterious box labeled ‘TTC DRY DROP’ that I walk past every morning on the way to the bus station. Some sort of fire hydrant? I’ve included a behind photograph as well.”
“Then there’s this APC power supply/battery, a heater, and a metal plate that covers one of those things that prevents bathtub overflow. I admit that these three are not very good” – Aaron.

Gary, that photo of my daughter’s toilet seat was WAY better than all that (sorry, “Aaron”).

I have to disagree with you on your last point Aaron, the bathtub one is great! looks like some cartoon/game character, can’t remember what though..

Looks like Salad Fingers to me…

I also have a pile of batteries I’ve been meaning to photograph poorly….

Bathtub overflow sad! Bathtub overflow cry tiny metal tears.

I also want to see Prison Hardman’s daughter’s toilet seat.

That radiator looks like it has a good face on it. Turn it around, give us a look!

So what’s preventing his bathtub from overflowing??

There may be an inlet at the bottom of the cover.
Much better than your classic overflow grille. I once had a wasp climb out of the overflow pipe in my old bath. It was like a scene from a horror movie, I could hear it buzzing in the pipe before it emerged.

What did you do? Try and drown it immediately?
Hit it with a bottle of shampoo?
Run screaming from the bathroom like a girl?
Ducked under the water and hid from it?
Last option would probably have been my choice, but obviously, you have to come up for air at some point. Best solution for this would be (obviously) to breath through the plughole using the overflow as a snorkel – but with the wasp having come from the overflow, that would’ve been right out of the question, unless you fancy a lungful of wasps?

My wife was in the bath. She called me in ‘cos she could hear this weird noise in the overflow. I was about to suggest that it was someone outside doing a bit of DIY when this wasp emerged. It was a big fucker, too. You wouldn’t have thought something that big could have squeezed out of that overflow but it managed alright.
I caught it in a pint glass and released it out of the window. Then I went downstairs for a stiff whiskey, not forgetting to give the all-clear to the missus who had bolted out of the bathroom (in a time Usain Bolt wouldn’t have sniffed at) and was hiding under the duvet.

How fast can Usain Bolt get out of your bathroom then?
(Or even, how fast can Usain Bolt get out of your bathroom now?)

Bathrooms are normally too small for Usain Bolt to get up a decent head of speed. Small, terrified women are much better at rapidly escaping bathrooms in my experience

I can get out of a bathroom faster than a wasp. I just don’t want to.
Plus, I’ve just been on holiday and saw a few faces in fire hydrants. Despite having a camera on my person, I didn’t take any pictures for you cunts.

Actually, I can’t quite believe none of us has asked for a more detailed description of Paul’s wife.
In the bath.
With the soap.

I find small terrified women are pretty much tops at rapidly escaping from anywhere.
I’ve just installed an “airlock” type security door in my cellar though, so it’s all good.
