Going to the Optometrist: A Make Out Session?

Manhattan, N.Y., May 16, 2009- He sat in the cushioned chair in the office while the woman slid closer to him. As she leaned in, he jumped in his chair thinking, “You can’t make out with me; I’m married for crying out loud!”

Kate Kiliganan had driven her husband, Scott, to their optometrist, Iris Optometrist, in Montreal two weeks ago to get his eyes checked after having reoccurring headaches. He didn’t have glasses, so Kate wanted to check if that was the problem. When they arrived Scott disappeared into the room with the woman doctor.

He never experienced an eye exam, so he wasn’t sure what to expect. As the woman grabbed her scope, she rolled her chair closer to peer into his eyes, and he threw himself back in his seat.

At this moment he thought the doctor was going to lean in for a smooch session, but then realized she was just doing her job and needed to move in closer. Scott tried to pretend he had simply had a back spasm. The very second the doctor completed the tests he bolted out of the door, grabbed Kate’s hand and headed straight toward the car.

After rushing to the parking lot in complete silence as his wife dragged behind him, they sped away. Kate, with a concerned look, stared at her husband’s red face and panicked expression.

“What the hell happened? Why are you acting so weird?” asked Kate.

Scott told his wife the story and how embarrassed he was that he actually thought this doctor was going to try and make out with him. Kate began to laugh hysterically at her husband’s ridiculous first experience at the eye doctor.
