Things you learned not to do...the hard way!

Oh! Oh! Oh! I've got one!
 
Do NOT rub your eye after eating hot wings.  Even if you've washed your hands REALLY GOOD, wait until after your next shower.

This could be long! []

I've learned, the hard way:

* Not to put bubble bath into a jacuzzi tub.

* Not to put oxy product on hats and then put into dishwasher.


* To be completely "present" when boiling eggs because when the water boils out the eggs will explode all over the kitchen, lol. []

 
tell us more about the first two.....also I know what you mean about the eggs[8D]

Do not rub your eyes after handling tea tree oil.  Especially if you're driving.
 
Do not attempt to break up a dog fight by prying open a dog's jaws with your bare hands. 
 
Do not walk on a deck that is made of rotten wood.
 
When dealing with superglue, have acetone near by.  (Calling hubby at work and asking him to come home early and pick some up on the way home is uncool.)
 
 

i got two more:
 
-do not attempt to pick up the glass of beer you dropped at a foam party. the foam is NOT thick enough to keep the glass intact.. duh!!
 
-don't put superglue on cotton balls.. that stuff gets HOT and then sticks to your fingers...[8|]

when you can't feel your feet - do not walk bare-foot thru the kitchen where your DH "has cleaned-up all the broken glass" from the plate he dropped

Don't buy a calendar from Australia just because it's really cool. They put Sunday on the wrong end of the week (which can cause missed appointments)

Funny you should mention that calendar.  Even though I know it's wrong, I've always thought of Monday as the first day of the week and Saturday and Sunday the last two.  A few years ago I found a calendar that was actually printed that way so I bought it. It had  "Mon/Tue/Wed/Th/Fri" in one block , a big space and then "Sat/Sun" together.  I though since it was printed the way I think of the week, it would be really easy to use but by Feb. it was driving me nuts.  I had to toss it and get a regular one.

Welcome to my world!  I work on the broadcast week/broadcast month, which runs Monday-Sunday and the month ENDS the last full broadcast week of the month.  June "ended" June 24, July will end July 29th....or the last full BROADCAST week of the month.  It can get a bit confusing at times.
 
Always remind your son NOT to pee without first washing his hands VERY carefully after he's applied muscle rub to your screaming muscles on a trip.  The ensueing screams from the bathroom can wake up the entire rest area.
 
Always remind same son that when he's been outside shoveling out his car in the winter and comes inside with EVERY body part screaming from the cold that it is NOT a good idea to hold certain body parts over a steaming cup of coffee to warm them up since cold hands tend to loose grip more easily and a penis is NOT a good thing to drop into a hot cup of coffee.  Still trying to figure out why the heck he did THAT!
 
Do not attempt to drive after just ONE drink when it's the first one that you've had in several months.
 
Do not attempt to put the canning jars in boxes when you need to lift one box to access the others IF you are barefoot and IF you don't hang on to the bottom of said box before lifting it since the glue sometimes does let go.  Ouch.

Oh god, THIS is why I started this thread!! Oh Glenda!! LOLOLOLOL
That second one almost made me squirt iced tea out my nose!!

I guess maybe I should explain a bit....the canning JARS come in boxes.  Once the product I've put up is gone, I return the jars to their original boxes.  I keep all the boxes in my furnace room and a stack of various empties right inside the door.  Since no one else seems capable of putting the jars IN the boxes, I was doing that one day.  I had jelly jars, short jelly jars, regular pints, wide mouth pints, regular quarts, wide mouth quarts AND 1/2 gallon jars.  So, I was moving boxes to get the the next proper jar size box (because I want them in the RIGHT box so when i go to can I've got the right lids and the right rings without six zillion trips down the stairs.  I lifted one box and the stupid glue let go.....the box was filled with empty jars and about five of them broke, but every last one hit my foot at the same instant!  Yeouch.
 
When FIL was hospitalized many years ago, I sent DH up to be with him.  They lived in NH we were in MS.  The morning DH was to fly back, FIL passed away so the boys and I drove the 1700 miles with only one overnite stop. Or rather, I drove and they navigated.  After the heavy traffic and all those miles my shoulders were screaming and DH applied muscle rub for me then went into the bathroom to take care of HIS business.  He should have gone to the bathroom FIRST!
 
As for the SECOND incident, well, lets just say he was no longer living at home when THAT happened.  The steam felt GOOD on his frozen hands so he thot it would feel even better on his frozen penis.  Dumb spit!
 
The sad thing is, I could write a book without taking the first bit of "literary license"!  Don't think that my kids would ever speak to me again.....but, hey, I could use as a cover the photo of same son sucking on his toe in his little yellow plastic bathtub displaying "the goods" to the world at large![]

- Do not try to hasten the process of plucking and shaping one's eyebrows by using a shaver to get the fine hairs above your nose.

- Do not assume that landlords will hold to or even remember verbal addendums made to lease agreements and not put in writing.

Don`t buy a gas grill and take it home if they will assemble it for you for free.
 
Hubby wanted a manly gas grill. We already have a George Foreman outdoor gas grill and a charcoal grill. They would put it together for us for free. But it would not fit in our SUV put together.  So Hubby says how hard can it be if they will do it for free. Well Hubby doesn`t like instructions I do. A do and a don`t don`t work good together and I didn`t want 9 pieces left over not knowing where they should go. So I put it together by myself. 6 hours later the manly grill is together. Did I say it was 100 degrees outside today. It was.
 
Don`t ever get mad and throw your car keys to hide them in a light socket with no bulb in the socket and it is turned on. I did this with my first not so good hubby.
 
Also I heard that you can spray perfume on a light bulb and it will smell nice. Make sure the bulb is not hot when you spray. Unless you like to pick up glass.

Well, this came up in the "Don't look at me like that" thread so I think I'd better add it here.

Do not put a very funny joke on the wall above the toilet tank unless you want your bathroom sprayed with pee. Apparently many guys can't pee and laugh at the same time![]

Learned a new one tonight not to ever do again...

Don't walk the dog and try to write a text message at the same time you may end up limping all the way back home.
