Bizarre Bathroom Blunders
Watch this postWe have all done it, we are running late and rushing to get out of the house and off to where we need to be, and in our haste we grab the wrong aerosol and spray our armpits with hairspray, or fly killer, know what I mean? It was about 12 years ago and I was juggling a late life degree course with a bit of part time care work to eke out the student grant and my pension. I had been writing up an assignment since 7am and now it was time to get myself ready for the tea time shift in the community, making meals, cups of tea and ensuring that everyone was fed and comfortable. It was a very fast paced and demanding shift, dashing between clients homes in the early evening rush hour. I'm dyslexic and often mix up cans and bottles, relying more on the colour or shape of a container to tell me what the contents are, rather its label. So, after splashing my face and brushing my teeth I decided to freshen myself up with a few squirts of deodorant, I grabbed what I though was my 'intimate' deodorant and gave myself a good spray. Suddenly, I realised something wasn't right. Enlightenment was instantaneous... I had sprayed myself with oven cleaner! Quick as a flash I leapt into the shower with the water on full power and on the coolest setting. After a few minutes I felt it was safe to hop out and get ready for work. I had been shopping the day before and when putting things away I had mixed up the cans, silly me. However, there was an unexpected bonus, I didn't have to wax down there for about 6 months.
