Now the other day i bought a couple of cans of that deoderant that makes one irresistible to all women, but when i came to use it, blowed if i could get the top off, so i gave it a bit of brute force and the plastic lid broke off in my hand.
I was unable to put it back on as it had split, so i got the other can out to have a look, then realised you are meant to twist the top round to get it to spray. :oops:

Has anyone else done anything as silly as that or is it just me. :)

Forgot to say, the spray certainly seems to do what they say. :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear OH,
I can almost join your club. The other morning, I bathed in semi darkness using the rays of the street light and then used deodorant. (At least I thought I had). When I thought it felt a bit sticky, I put the light on and discovered I used the hair spray can instead.
Next time I'll just put the light on and burn a few extra watts.

The problem is there is too much design in the world.
There you are struggling to put your pants on in the dark until you realise some other numpty has moved the label to the side - why did they do that?

Some years ago a friend of mine (female) was preparing to go to the doctor for what is politely known as an 'internal' examination. She completed her bathing preparations by spraying the relevant area with what she believed to be 'down there' deoderant... it turned out to be her teenaged daughter's glitter hairspray.

Good morning all, well i'm so pleased it's not just me, your replies have made me laugh. :)

Giulia, i think that your friends mishap with the glitter would have been politely known by the Doctor as, Chistmas coming early. :lol: :lol: :wink:

I thought Chantal would have had a whole list of mishaps for us. :twisted: :wink:

Moi? No, not me but it has put me in mind of my boss. We'd been having a meeting and were in the middle of lunch when he announced that he was wearing his wife's knickers. Twelve people just stopped with forks halfway to mouths and gawped at him before falling about laughing. He claims that it was dark when he got dressed and he thought they were his. I can't imagine what kind of knickers she wears :shock: As it's happened several times I am beginning to worry. :lol: :lol:

Johnboy - had to laugh. Bet you had nice sparkling white piles which glowed in the dark, but "No", I don't think we want to know what happened to the toothbrush !

I have had the other experience: piles cream used as toothpaste:-(

Also: cream for warming up and heating running injuries (menthol based ): applied when dark as I thought it was Savlon to a piece of skin rubbed raw by running shorts: ohh the pain.:-) :-(
