Attack of the toothbrush!

[fbhjr]

Practice yesterday had been very hot. Various things that went on there
really wore both my wife and me out.
So, we went to bed fairly early and both fell asleep right away.

A few hours later I woke up as there was a buzzing noise that sounded like
and alarm going off.
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz…
I checked the clock radio. Hours until the alarm was set. And, the sound
was not like its alarm.
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz…
I reached over to the air filter, which was in the direction of the sound.
Turned it off, buzzing kept going.
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz…
I got up and went over to the bathroom. It was much louder here. And, it
echoed in the small, tiled, room.
BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ!
I checked the sink. Not leaking, no pipes squeaking.
BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ!
I checked the toilet. Not leaking, no pipes squeaking.
BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ, BZZZ!
I checked the shower stall. VERY loud now.
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!
I checked the shower valve. No leak.
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!
I turned it on and off. No change.
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!
I stepped into the shower to look at the shower head.
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!
Something moved under my foot!
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!

It was my battery operated toothbrush. It had apparently fallen into the
shower stall and started up when it landed. The bottom of the shower acted
like a big amplifier and the shower stall and echo chamber.
I went back to bed.

What I still don’t understand: How could it fall and land on its switch?
The switch is in the middle, lower down than the bristles and takes a
pretty firm push from my thumb…

It was coming to get you. And clean your teeth with a vengeance.

But, I had brushed my teeth before bed. Really...

Exactly

It was clearly upset at your critical response to Pacific Rim Mechs, and trying to recreate some epic battle in the bathtub, only without water...and Kaiju (unless you count plaque as Kaiju...Wasn't Jin-jah-vitis one of those Gozilla monsters?)

Haha, wow! I'm glad you found the source of the BZZZ, although BZZZarre it's better than a big buzzing beetle or something equally creepy, hah!

I had a similar incident yrs. ago. Went camping with Andy (Mr.Poopyhead) and family. 2:00am, all you should hear is the sound of nature. Nope some frigg'n toy of Jakes started going off, I hunted it for 2hrs. Andy got up and helped. Jake woke up, and was O' that's Zod. and went and shut it off and handed it to me. Zod died that morning.
I hope you were able to go back to sleep for a bit.
