Ye Gods! They left you in there??
Great write up Virg.

Re psyche test...hmmmm.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean no one is after you.

Uncle Virg, you must go after that person who left you there !!

Wow I really needed a laugh today and I got it. You have the best stories.

I don't know Meg. But I had lots of opportunities to pass the damn thing. I bet in one of those cycle throughs I heard it and clicked correctly. In a way they gave me lots of chances at it.

:lol::lol: I've never been put in a box for one of those:D Now you have me imagining a coffin like devide that they put you in... maybe I've also just got vampires on the brain. Either way, they forgot about you, but at least you passed. Now you just have to wonder, did they take pity on the guy they left in the box;)

Sorry V! I just couldn't help myself

Oh thank you people. Glad you enjoyed it.

And yes Sophia I can hear you.

Figures... you just can't find good help these days LOL. Sorry you were put through that but it made a great story! Virgil... can you hear me? Virgil????.......

I read that a few days ago and yes, I did find it amusing. Really mean though!

Good your hart is still OK.

I know I used to hate those tests. Since they were given in a tractor-trailer outside the factory, all I could hear at time was the wind going by. I clicked at random. You didn't do anything that anyone else wouldn't have done. An amusing little story there, old friend!

They LEFT you? I think I would have felt exactly the same way-"OMG, I've failed!" The incipient paranoia and panic would have set in, big time!

You handled it very gracefully, I think. And I'm sure your wife must be wrong about your hearing.

Thank you all for your comments.

especially the part about hallucinating...

Those booths are quite claustrophobic. When I was in Jr. High I had some hearing problems, my Mom took me to the Dr. for some tests and they put me in one of those booths, except this booth had way more stuff then the regular booths. And this booth had a window. I was sitting there for what seemed like a long time before the test started. I remember looking at all the wires and stuff then looking up and seeing my mom cracking up. I was like "huh?" Apparently I was singing and talking to myself and My mom and the nurse could hear everything I was saying.

If your employer requires you to take an
annual physical, I hope it (he, she) gives you free comprehensive health insurance.
I heard that nobody can get health insurance if he has a "pre-existing condition." What would that be -- life?

Incidentally, speaking of hearing, why are
TV commercials so much louder than the
programs!

They left you in there?

This is truly funny and your wrote it up well. I would start to have an anxiety attack. These tests sound strange...first being couped up and then having to deal with a clicker. My mother would surely fail the clicking part and she is very deaf. She drives me bonkers since she wears these very expensive hearing aids but I swore to her she is wearing them wrong. She doen't have them behind that little bit of fleshy cartilege on the ear. If you push that in on your normal ears you can't hear as well. She insists they are in correctly, so I have given up....it's either that or she is always needing a new battery...those things eat up batteries. Anyway, if I were you Virgil, I would try to get used to lower volumes because it is proven that that can cause hearing loss. Hearing loss is a real problem. I hope I don't get it. I think I actually have very keen hearing.

Haha- this just made my day Virg. But in a darkroom listening for small sounds? I would have freaked out (and it does sound like some form of torture)- can't believe they forgot you in there though D:

Absolutely faaarrrnnny.

I fell off the chair laughing Virg.
