Ashley Mayer's nightmare arrived on girlfriend sex videoTuesday, when one of her AirPods fell onto the New York City subway tracks.
Mayer requested help from the the subway system's operator, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), to retrieve her wireless earbud.
"I had asked to have [the AirPod] rescued yesterday but it was going to take two hours and I had to be present," Mayer tweeted.

A day after dropping her AirPod on the track, Mayer took matters into her own hands. While another person might have jumped down into the tracks to snatch up their fallen AirPod, Mayer knew it wasn't worth risking her life.

Her broom-tape instrument didn't look elegant, but it worked! Mayer deserves props for diving into action. Though we're not sure we'd want to put any AirPods back into our ears if they sat on the nasty New York City subway tracks for two whole days. Let's hope the decontamination was extensive.
