Dumping my Bluetooth headset

This Tuesday morning, I found myself at the hospital to get some testing done on my 8 week old daughter. She had been sick all weekend and she did not have any of the typical symptoms. The testing took 3 hours, so to pass the time I went to seek out a snack. The cafe had individual bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes . Since it was still breakfast time, I decided to be healthy and buy the cinnamon swirl flavor instead of chocolate. On my way out, I discovered some trash in my sweatshirt pocket. I reached in and threw the trash along with my Bluetooth headset away. I should of known something was up, because just as I was about to exit the cafe, an alarm went off. The alarm triggered the doors to automaticly close. I was thinking, "Shouldn't we evacuate the building?" But everyone was just sitting around like normal. The cashier pushed the door open for me and said that I could go ahead back upstairs. Once back upstairs I found a staff person blocking my way back. Once we got the all clear, I returned to my wife and daughter. This is when I realized that my headset was missing. So, I made my way back to the cafe and pulled out my phone to see if I could sync to my headset. Sure enough I was able to pick up the signal. Now came the fun of digging through the trash to find it. Thanks to the help of my wife we were able to retrieve the headset. It's a good thing I did get the headset back, because it just happened to be the day our local law inforcement had their hands free crackdown day. They issued over 600 tickets for driving while holding the phone. Oh and my daughter tests came back normal and she seems to be healthy.
