Have any of you done anything this stupid?
« on: November 26, 2008, 08:31:01 PM »
I am such an idiot.  I just got one of those spray air fresheners (airwick) that automatically spray the freshener every few minutes (9, 18 or 30 minutes). It said specifically on the instructions NOT to point it at your face and that it has a delay of 15 seconds before it does it's first "test spray".  I put the spray can in and I didn't think I had it in there right so what did I do, held it right up to my face.  What did it do?!?  It sprayed right in my face.  Yes it burns your eyes and doesn't taste very good.   :moron:

What flavour was it?

"Fresh Waters", it doesn't taste anything like what you would think it would.

Ok.  I'll fess-up.  I took a blow torch to a piece of large paving gravel one time.  I'm lucky to have a face at all.

I used to baby sit a friends daughter for 8 hours a day. Her airwik must have nailed me in the head at least twice a day. She's Asian and has a different idea of "out of the way" than me. (6'2)

still hate those things

I put it in our bathroom in the corner where our bathtub is.  I don't know why I bought it.  I always have to try gadgety things out only to find out that they don't work as well as I had hoped.

I do that. Bought one of those shower sprayers where you hit the button each time and never have to clean. Meh, you still have to clean the shower but it's much easier. LOL

Going back to stupid. I used Pledge extra shine on my apartments hard wood floors. I had to walk like a duck for a week when in socks.

Like a month ago, I was walking through a parking lot into someone's apartment.  I had been just *slight* drinking.  I tripped over the speed bump.  I broke my flip flop and skinned my knee. I fell down hard.  No one saw me, but then as soon as I got to the apartment I said "Did you see me fall down?!?!?" 


LOL!

Yes but I have a guardian angel so I never really harmed myself too badly.  I heard a long time ago that God looks after drunks and fools so since I'm not a drunk...

Then he should have looked after me during the "Airwick Incident" as obviously I too am a fool.   :p

I can tell you God doesn't seem to look after fool cats.  Monty burned off a bunch of hair the other day standing in front of a candle.  It stunk.

A long time ago I walked into the office from making rounds at the court house and sat in the rolley office chair and leaned waaaaaay back with my hands behind my head relaxing.  Phone rings and I sit up and answer it and hear this wierd "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and all of a sudden my back is really... burny and my eyes are watering like crazy.

That was when I switched to a closed top holster for the police issue strength pepper spray/mace can. :(

OK so there was this girl I never should have brought home but how could I resist?

She was a fiery redheaded (styled like Jane Jetson) brown eyed girl in tight discout jeans who can the cutest cow t-shirt on.

Anyway BIG mistake. She had her way with me and tossed me aside. Come to think of it, not so dumb after all.

No air freshener accidents, but I tried to clean the little boys' toilet and the floor around it with bleach.

Bleach + ammonia from urine = very, very nasty fumes.

I knew that bleach plus ammonia was a bad combo, I just wasn't thinking of urine making ammonia.  Very stupid.  :thatsright:
