My Near Death Experience

Post by HemlockGrey »

So today when I went to take a swig of mouthwash, I nearly downed a cap full of industrial strength glass cleaner.

The two bottles and the two liquids look exactly alike. Even the labels look alike.

Holy shit.

What was the glass cleaner doing so close to the mouthwash?

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

I actually took in like a drop before realizing it wasn't mouthwash. I dumped it, spit it out, washed my mouth vigoriously.

Why exactly where two identical bottles located in sufficient close proximity to allow this to happen?

Good thing you didn't swallow any, you might not die but kiss your stomach good by and say hello to taking a crap 15 minutes after you eat for the rest of your life.

After much consideration, I have decided that keeping the Listerine under the bathroom sink is smart, whilst keeping industrial strength glass cleaner under the bathroom sink is a fucking stupid idea.

Hemlock man, I am glad that I won't be seeing you anytime soon.

EDIT: I am a part time funeral director.
