Have you ever had your pump lying next to you and grabbed it thinking it was the TV remote or visa verse??

I have grabbed it thinking it was my cell phone before. Kind of hard to talk to something that has a tubing coming out of it and you can't figure out why it won't come up to your ear.

Yup! Just a few days ago I wanted to adjust the volume on my Shuffle and instead began to reach for my pump. LOL!

Have you ever been in a restaurant, and their cash register keeps making a "chime" that sounds exactly like your pump, and every time it happens, you jump and reach for your pump to see what's wrong?

OMG YES!!!!
Sometimes in some stores too,,,, there is a similar sound to my pumps "beep"!
I wear an Omni Pod so it is a 2 piece check each time! LOL

My wife has a pump and I'm deaf in one ear, so I can't locate sounds in space. When we are near each other and I hear an alarm I always ask her, "was that yours or mine"?

Twice in college I was in a Hooters and the cash register had the exact same beep as my Minimed! It got me every time. Thankfully, it's not a place I find myself frequently. :)
