Things you learned the hard way not to do again

[ItsJustAName]

Okay, so I was out and about and needed the loo and popped in to a public toiler. Only when finished did I realise there was no loo roll.

Never fear, I knew I had fresh handypack of hankies in my handbag.

I used one.



Olbas oil infused hankies do not leave you with a pleasant sensation when used as loo roll lol.

Rub eyes after chopping chillies - ow. And yet I do it almost every time {idiot}

[Curlybrunette]

Lol justaname

Have a to dull the pain

[thenightsky]

Biting into a mince pie straight out of the microwave. A red-hot current shot straight up my nose, leaving a trail of burnt flesh as it went

[giraffesisonadiet]

scrape a mercedes with my car, I wont do that again

[CBear6]

Stick my finger in a light socket on a dare (in my defence I was 8).

Try to open a bottle of tequila using a kitchen knife because the lid was faulty and wouldn't unscrew (older than 8 but still young and stupid).

Not to hold the baby up in the air and jiggle him just after a feed as posset in the face may offend.

Not to eat meat from a street vendor in a foreign country.

[darksideofthemooncup]

poke toast out of the toaster with a knife. Store mandolin blades in drawer and rummage around in said drawer without looking. Slice potatoes on now infamous Mandolin without using the guard...it is amazing I have any fingers left

[ColdHeartedBitch]

shut car door on hand. Very very tired with new baby brain. thankfully not too much damage done.

[sharbie]

oh yes i shut my thumb in car door once (didn't hurt) and had to frantically signal to the driver not to drive off with it attached to the car.eeek.

[outnumbered2to1]

oh i also did the car door on hand one - only i did it twice in the same week.....

[Isetta]

Stick cotton buds down my ear.. it felt so good when I had a slight infection which itched like bugger, the resultant abcess was the most painful thing Ive ever known and I'm still a bit deaf on that side..

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

Ooh, NEVER EVER worm your horses, and then put the empty oral syringe into your coat pocket. Dont then forget that it's there, add a packet of sweets to said pocket, and wonder why the sweets taste funny!
Horse wormer is VERY unpleasant when taken by humans! It takes months to get your stomach back to normal!

[outnumbered2to1]

and the winner is Saggy bloody hell

[giraffesisonadiet]

did you have to go to a&e and tell them you had swallowed horse worming tablets?!!

[armani]

Lol at saggy :)

[UlrikaGarlic]

My mum learnt not to put an Aspirin in the fish tank when the fish doesnt look well

I learned to be very careful when I was a student nurse on night duty and my job was to go round with a bottle trolley on a mens ward, removing any full urine bottles and putting out fresh ones for the night...unfortunately caught the wheel and toppled the full trolley over and flooded the end of the ward with urine!

[VodkawithRosie]

go outside in the dark in bare feet to grab the washing in.....the thought of those huge slugs squishing between my toesis still enough to make me retch.

[BooyFuckingHoo]

[Lauzifer]

Don't use Original Source mint shaving gel on your ladygarden .....

Unless you're into that kind of thing

[hardhatdonned]

[BaggedandTagged]

Jump on a moving treadmill.

[Stac2011]

dont use normal hair removing cream on your lady garden, felt like it was on fire. Then went into a bath to make sure it was washed off properly and made it burn more. Dh had to waft a magazine at it to cool it down

Also tried microwave wax and it got welded to the hair had to snip with scissors and flick it off. Painful!!
