What is a word that describes those few seconds before you realize the soap dispenser is not automatic?

Question

It could be a made up word. It could analogize something from sports, or politics, or religion. I suppose this word could also apply to the same situation at the faucet and the paper towel machine. I don't have an answer, but I'm sure we've all experienced the wasted time hovering under the soap machine, only to realize you have to push or yank that sucker.
