The entire sequence must originate from one tiny relatable problem: a businessman cannot activate an automatic hand dryer.

MAIN CHARACTER: An impeccably dressed businessman who becomes increasingly determined to dry his hands while maintaining complete professional dignity.

0–3 seconds: The businessman washes his hands and places them under an automatic hand dryer. Nothing happens. He tries again. Nothing. Another businessman casually steps beside him. The dryer immediately activates perfectly for the other person. The other businessman dries his hands and leaves. Our businessman stares at the dryer. His pride is now involved.

3–6 seconds: He tries different hand positions. One hand. Two hands. Higher. Lower. Closer. Farther. He becomes increasingly creative while trying to remain professional. His movements begin resembling absurd martial arts. The dryer still refuses to activate.

6–9 seconds: Suddenly the dryer activates. WHOOSH. The businessman smiles. But the airflow hits his necktie instead of his hands. The tie flies upward and slaps him directly in the face. He stumbles. The dryer stops.

9–12 seconds: He lunges back underneath. The dryer starts. Then stops. Starts. Stops. Every tiny movement changes the sensor. The businessman begins chasing the airflow, twisting, crouching, leaning, stretching, balancing awkwardly, doing increasingly ridiculous action-movie maneuvers while trying to keep the dryer running.

12–14 seconds: He finally discovers the perfect position. One foot braced against the wall. Body twisted. Arms extended. The dryer runs continuously. Victory. He smiles proudly.

14–15 seconds: He removes his hands. Looks down. His hands are still completely soaking wet. Reveal clearly that the dryer was blowing on his suit jacket the entire time. He stares at his wet hands.
