Very near miss this morning - anyone had similar?!

[Grabbner]

I’m not sure how I’ve avoided this hazard so far!

Shocking eyesight, so blindly reached for the toothpaste. Fortunately for me, Deep Heat may be in a tube very like a toothpaste tube, and it may be white like toothpaste, but it smells to buggery!

Most exciting thing that’s (nearly) happened to me this week :)

Any other near misses?

Oh no bananaskins how was the cat? Jux - have done that before, too! Picking up 'chocolate' flakes from the worktop and popping them in my mouth - eew - no, cat food!!!

Brushed my teeth with Savlon, right to the end. Was staying at my mum and dad's. Dad used Sensodyne and I thought, " I knew it was disgusting, but don't remember it being this bad". Then had a "eww, Savlon" moment a la Harry Hill afterwards.

Putting eye drops in for an eye infection just before bed one night, and discovered, too late, that dd had left a bottle of nail glue on the bathroom side next to the eye drops.
Had to drive one eyed to a&e to have my eye flushed, and had a fetching eye patch for a few days.
Dd still feels guilty about it, and it was about 5 years ago. might go remind her of the day she nearly blinded me and then mention I fancy a cup of tea

Just remembered a few that my dim witted ex did during the 4 years we were together. He put nasal spray in his ears thinking it was ear drops. He tipped dried rice into the cat's litter tray. And the one which I thought was really stupid,poured my expensive mouthwash all over his hands,thinking it was handcream!

snog OMG that has made me laugh so much! Your mum using Pritt Stick for lipstick!

And another one. I used anti-fungal canesten cream that was for athlete's foot for thrush 'down there'. I'd used it twice when my Dd asked why I'd left a tube of athlete's foot cream on the toilet windowsill. The penny dropped. That's what happens when I pick up things in shops without putting my glasses on. It even had a picture of a foot on the bloody tube! No long term damage was done,thankfully.

Well I once mistook the deep heat for canesten! Smarter a bit - should have put my lenses in first but it made my sister laugh!

[Timmytoo]

I put exfoliating face wash all over my body instead of moisturizer. Last night DP squirted oral thrush treatment up his nose instead of nasal spray 🤣🤣🤣

@MrsSnitchnose I don't remember to be honest - I followed it up with a good mouthful of water and then cough syrup. I won't make the same mistake again though!

Went to descale the kettle last week - we have a lovely glass kettle but very hard water, so need to do it once a fortnight.

Picked up the 5 litre jug of white vinegar. Only it went gloop.

Turned out we have a 5l jug of concentrated hand sanitiser in the kitchen too! DH apparently got it cheap with a Toolstation order a year ago.

Took hours to rinse the kettle well enough that it didn't taste horrible...

[LookToTreblesGoingTreblesGone]

My mother grabbed the hair spray and gave her hair a good spraying. Too late she realised it was Mr Sheen. It took a lot of washing out!

[QuestionableMouse]

I was once taking some paracetamol while giving the cat some treats. Chucked the dreamies in my mouth and offered the tablets to the cat.

They don't taste as bad as you'd think. 🤢

I also was heading up yo bed one night. Clean white bedding on. Had my phone in one hand and my very big 1L travel mug in the other. Absently chucked my phone on the bed... Nope. Travel mug full of blackcurrant squash. Luckily it only leaked a tiny bit and didn't stain but for a second I wanted to cry.

Oh and last summer at work I grabbed what I thought was a roll on deo. Got to work and felt really clammy and sticky so went to put some more on. Realised just a bit too late id picked up roll on sun block instead.
