To still be chuckling over this over four hours later?

[DooinMeCleanin]

I heard DH scream from the bathroom this morning, so I want in ready to get the spider for him. There was no spider. He started attempting to talk to me with his mouth held open....

DH: Er ab oo oot d oof paste?
me: Huh?
Dh: Oofpaste?
me:
Dh:
me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dh: I wanted to try that new toothpaste.
me: That's face scrub

He was not amused. I have been giggling to myself all morning.

I once nearly cleaned my teeth with my mum's Canesten (dark room) but thankfully didn't.

My friend's dad rinsed his eyes with mouthwash instead of Optrex. What gets me is that he did both of them. Apparently it was "refreshing".

Sparklegeek - we call that "assembly giggles" because we used to get them in assembly at school, oddly enough, and would be punished for making a noise. My sides used to hurt from the effort of not giggling out loud sometimes!

I am amazed so many people just use random tubes without checking the name on them first.

BUT - I did get caught out at the optician's once. I was there for a fitting of new contact lenses (my excuse, I was blind without them) and when I took the new lenses out of their glass phials, I rinsed them, as I always did, before putting one into my eye. What I didn't realise is that the optician hadn't left me with a bottle of nice saline wash, oh no - it was bloody peroxide disinfecting solution! Took him a while to prise my eyelid open to get the frigging lens out - the pain! Further in my defence, I had only ever used a multipurpose lens fluid prior to this, soaking and rinsing - didn't even know about the peroxide storage solutions so assumed I was ok. Luckily my eye wasn't permanently damaged but it was very sore for a couple of days.

Dooin - try a tube of wasabi. [even more evil]

My ds recently shouted from the bathroom at teeth brushing time "mummy can i use the new toothpaste" i hd no idea what he meant so went to investigate and he was starting to take the lid off a tube of deep heat - dp had used it the night before and had forgot to take it out the bathroom - could have been nasty!!

Yesterday i sprayed sure in my hair instead of hairspray, to be fair i didnt have my specs on and both are in green tins!!

TalcandTurnips - my Nan's blue eyebrows are still talked about now & she is in her mid-eighties bless her, she usually tells us she's glad that she gave us a laugh :) I can still remember the reactions of all of us sat around that table & every time we stopped guffawing enough to be able to catch up with the bingo (!), we'd look up & collapse all over again.

Assembly giggles is a good term, church giggles equally as bad...thank God those situations don't happen too often when you're an adult, I remember being just useless at suppressing laughter as a teen. Now I'd probably just wet myself

Assembly giggles is a very good term. May I offer funeral giggles as an add-on? Got them very badly at my Gran's second husband's funeral. My sister gave me a lift, only a bloody tyre burst on the motorway. Thankfully we made it to the hard shoulder, but both of us were wearing smart clothes and the car was a ruddy Citroen that had weird suspension that apparently you needed a special jack for. And the jack wasn't in the car, of course. Several lorry and van drivers stopped to help the maidens in distress, none of whom had the right jack for a car, oddly enough. (I think their chivalry was the result of seeing young women stranded wearing high heels and in my case a mini skirt - part of my only black suit at the time.)

Eventually a fellow Citroen driver stopped and we got sorted. But it made us about an hour late. We were horrified and desperately legging it to the Church hoping we'd arrive before everyone came out. As we got to the doorstep, the ruddy doors opened and there was the coffin and the pall bearers. We kind of slipped round the side to make it look like we'd been there a while. Throughout the rest of the day, every time my Gran commented on the service - which she did a lot, being a devout Catholic - we had to pretend we'd caught that bit. My sister would look at me, and I'd look at her, and we'd be desperately trying to hold the giggles in...

(My Gran's husband was very old and had been very ill so his death was relief, to him and to my Gran, who had struggled to nurse him at home.)

Then, to make it even worse, we had to follow the hearse on the motorway to the graveyard where his first wife was buried. It went at the usual decorous pace down the main road but as soon as we reached the slip road, the driver really put his foot down - must have been doing 90. Which meant we nearly lost the funeral car, and neither of us had a clue how to get to the graveyard without it. Cue even more hysterical laughter as we tried to catch up and work out what excuses we could make THIS time.

Laughing at all these

I used to work with exchange students. There was one unfortunate incident where a Japanese student picked up what he thought was a tube of conditioner as it looked the same sort of tube that shampoo typically comes in in Japan.

Unfortunately it was hair remover cream as he discovered to his cost when after having left it on for a little while to do it's conditioning he rinsed his hair and instead of being all conditioned and glossy it started to come out in handfuls ...

Probably not one of the best starts you could have to an exchange visit!

My sister once ate a spoonful of what she thought was chocolate mousse in the fridge. It was actually solidified gravy!

I once took a sip of what I thought was orange squash, turned out my toddler sister had weed in a glass and left it on the table boak

A friend of mine once escorted me home from a party and I decided he was too drunk to drive home so let him spend the night in the spare room.Unbeknown to me, he wore contact lenses. Took them out in the bathroom, looked around in a drunken haze for something suitable to put them in, and selected the tops of two bottles. When he got up in the morning he found out?the hard way, via bloodshot burning eyeballs?that he'd used the top of a bottle of cologne and some shampoo!
