“Make sure it’s going the right direction,” the ceiling fan guy said.
“Huh? It’s a ceiling fan,” I thought to myself. Confused, but not wanting to seem dumb, I kindly nodded to acknowledge the advice. It was then that I think he realized that I didn’t know what he was talking about.
I know because he politely asked, “You don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?” So much for the ‘dumb’ thing.
“Uh, coming, dear!”, I yelled to my imaginary spouse on another aisle. Embarrassed, I quickly left the store and went home to do what any smart, yet confused person would…
I Googled it. Don’t judge. I found that most ceiling fans spin in two directions to move air differently. (Insert confused Scooby-Doo ‘RUH?’ sound here – kinda like the one I made.)
