DH has been cleansing his face ... with anti-bacterial bathroom wipes.

DH is a rufty tufty ex rugby player, whose morning ablutions extend no further than Shit. Shower. Shave. But he does rub a dab of gel into his hair on occasion.

Recently I noticed my v. expensive Elizabeth Arden moisturiser was disappearing at an alarming rate. After enquries it turns out DH had been blithely rubbing it into his hair, assuming it was hair gel. His defense was that I had been leaving my pot of moisturiser too near to the pot of hair gel on the bathroom shelf and it was confusing

My pot of moisturiser is in an elegant white/silver glass jar. His hair gel is in a white/black plastic tub FFS.

hanging sometimes that just means the poster has left the site

Limited wasn't lye used for washing clothes or am I mixing it up with something else?
DH has done pretty much the same with saline and solution before now, daily disposables have been a godsend!

That fat ball thread is hilarious. I've never heard of a fat ball - but have now. By the way - why are there about 25 messages in it that say "message deleted by posters request" what were they saying?!

limited That's the problem I encountered when fumbling half asleep through my wash bag - both bottles looked and felt identical

MrsGideon I used to use a nail glue that was in an almost identical bottle to eye drops. Luckily I never mixed them up.

I did mix up some Superdrug own brand saline with their contact lens solution.

They were in identical bottles with the colours - cream and black - on the labels reversed.

It fucking hurt like hell when I rinsed my lenses in solution rather than saline and put them in.

Who in their right minds would design that packaging for a product aimed at people with bad eyesight - as I emailed their customer services dept when I could see straight?

They don't do it any more.

I think you should relentlessly take the piss and send him text messages for the rest of the day.......

Just to prove that the lack of a penis and the presence of ovaries does not reduce The Stupid - I once bought a new facial moisturiser which was on offer in Boots and applied it liberally after a shower "Oooh this smells of chocolate..yummy" The next morning my face looked filthy and it transpired the facial moisturiser was in fact a gradual tanner.

I am normally extremely pale (with a tinge of blue) - so the filthy faced look with horrific tide marks on my neck was not good. I had a really important meeting at Head Office that day too. DH actually tried to spit on a tissue and rub my face with it...

I bought some anti bacterial toilet wipes,left them on the cistern and found the packet empty about two days later. Jokingly said to dp "God we've gone through those quick-finally getting the hang of cleaning up after ds showering the seat in pee" he went white as a sheet and said " OH toilet wipes, for cleaning the toilet hardman i think i might need to go doctors tomorrow"
Im not ashamed to say I laughed like a drain listening to our doctor explain that unless his arse was blistered he hadn't done himself any lasting damage.

That's brilliant! My dad spent a few days wiping his arse with toilet bleach wipes before he complained to my mum about feeling a bit 'raw' and she figured out what he'd done. They're hopeless!

This is hilarious. Sorry to be laughing at your DHs poor red face but really. Dont anti bac wipes come in a larger flatter pack to face wipes as well?
What a chump!!!

It is the knd of thing my DH would do too.

Like this no dogs one but saying

Not for use on
YOUR FACE

or

YOUR ARSE

or

YOUR COCK AND BALLS

I did once put Earex ear drops in my eye Christ how it stung - I convinced myself I was going to go blind

In my defense it was very early on a Monday morning!

I use a smear of Huile Prodigieuse Or on my shoulders, arms and shins in the evening when I have a tan. It looks and smells lovely.

DH, who has dry skin, decided to rub it liberally all over his face one morning and left for work before I saw him.

He spent the entire day being ridiculed for wearing glitter make up. He tried to wash it off but it's stubborn stuff.

He had the cheek to blame me for not warning him. Why did he think I used a smidge and never on my face?

I think on the sticker you should draw a picture of a big sad face in a red circle with a red line through it.

Also draw another sticker with red circle with an arse drawn in it and a red line through it.

And then do a cock and balls one.

etc

My dad told me that when he got teenage spots he washed his face in lye.

For anyone unfamiliar with that, it stripped the spots off and the skin.

His face recovered and luckily he wasn't blinded.

If he'd have been alive today he'd have been 98.

Hilarious

I'm genuinely baffled as to why these men don't read the label. Is it an extension of the "not asking directions" thing? Or do their brains reduce everything down to a very simplistic level, so wipes in packet = face wipes, spray can = deodorant, etc, without noticing the words on it?

Argh I actually want to experiment/find out the answer! psychology student

My BF has been using my expensive face wipes to wipe his bum. Lovely.

He too also kept using my moisturiser until his face turned and unnatural shade of orange, it too was gradual tan. I tell him to use cocoa butter and he will NOT believe that it doesn't have fake tan in it (you know, because the bottle is brown). He thinks I'm trying to trick him.

Was giggling lots about this OP

^My DH used to cycle to work and used lip salve before he went to avoid chapped lips.
One day he picked up a lipstick and applied it liberally to his lips.
Nobody at work told him for ages - when he went and looked in the mirror he had a big red clown smile^

I am crying with laughter!

that has brightened my day

Hilarious

A cream like HC45 is probably needed to make his face better. He doesn't need to say what he's been doing to his poor bloody face (although I'd love to see the pharmacist's reaction..), just that it's really irritated, if asked.

Now, I'm off to read fat balls..
