Eek I reek of Lynx. Tell me your crap mishaps to cheer me up.

[CaraDuneRedux]

DPuppy got hold of a can of teen DS's Lynx and punctured it with her little puppy pirhana teeth. I went to pick it up (as DPup cowered in a corner), and got liberally sprayed. We both reek of Lynx (which I fucking hate at the best of times).

Tell me your morning mishaps so I know I'm not the only one!

A similar one.

In my youth, I was getting ready to go out clubbing with friends. I grabbed a sample bottle of perfume I was given earlier in the day whilst out shopping and liberally doused myself. I realised that it was aftershave. I didn't have time to sort it out so I just had to go with it.

Later on that night, I was chatting with a guy and he told me I smelt like his Dad.

I'm cringing for you!

Ha ha! When I travelled by tube I used to dread Valentine's Day as the whole tube reeked of it!

In a hurry, freshly showered and trying to get dressed, I grabbed what I thought was a can of spray deodorant and gave both armpits a liberal spritzing. It was dry shampoo, the volumising kind - I ended up with a surprisingly persistent, crackly, flakey white coating on both armpits.

I sprayed my hair with furniture polish instead of hairspray before an important interview. Some how still got the job!

In a blind panic after spilling red wine on a white top I scrubbed it with BLACK shoe polish instead on vanish... in my defense the polish bottle was white too.

Needless to say, the top was never pure white again

These are cheering me up

Took DPup out to the beach - fresh air and sea water. She still smells of Lynx.

I dusted the whole house with ant spray .. instead of furniture polish.

Same colour can , didn't have my glasses on...

Once ran out of shower gel except my DS’s Lynx Africa shower gel. Both me and DD then complained of smelling like teenage boy!

Sprayed myself in the eye with antiperspirant once because the nozzle was the wrong way round It was really painful as it totally dried my eye out

A couple of years ago we puppy sat over at sis and bro in laws house for the weekend. One lunch I made a big deal of my 9 year old covering their white table with mats so she didn't spill her soup. As I was walking from kitchen to dining room I tripped and tomato soup went everywhere. My dsisinlaw home was mainly vintage, repainted furniture, cath kidston curtains, cream carpets. I sat on the floor and cried! We managed to hire a rug doctor and I had to wash the curtains still hanging at the window as we couldn't get them down (I don't know why they seemed invincible). All the white seat pads were washed and walls were cleaned. Its amazing how far tom soup spreads. Anyway I didn't confess for weeks as I was so embarrassed. They were so so lovely about it and said they thought the carpets were lovely and clean, better than when they left them 🤣

I once arrived at the office with a blinding headache and went to swallow a soluble aspirin thinking it was a paracetamol. I had to hide under my desk while I coughed up foaming fizz. Absolutely mortifying and made me feel a hundred times worse!

There was a post on here years ago that still makes me laugh today when I think about it.

A poster and her friend had been trying to stop smoking, but one evening they cracked and sneaked to the shop and bought fags and a can of deodorant to cover the smell.

The poster described how they parked up and were smoking the fags ‘like pan pipes’.

Before driving home, her mate gave herself a liberal squirt of deodorant - except it wasn’t, it was shaving foam and she ended up with it in her hair, all over her clothes and dripping off her chin. The poster described how she laughed so hard no sound would come out

If that poster is still on here, thank you. You’ve made a complete stranger randomly laugh to herself at odd occasions for about ten years

@LumaNorth thats absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I love laughing so much you can't breathe 🤣
