Water bottles

[pwDave]

was cleaning up the floor under the plymouth the other day, using mineral spirts to get the trans fluid and oil out of the concrete, then soak it up with oil dri. set the water bottle with about half full of mineral sprirts on the trunk lid and finished sweeping up. five days later working on the front of the car, need a wrench, get up to go to the tool box and walk by the rear of the car, snatch up the half bottle of water sitting there and take a big swig, DAMN!!!! worst tasting water EVER!! called the poison control center and they said I would live, contrary to my best efferts. burping mineral spirts is something no one should have to do. the moral of the story is not to use water bottles to store clear chemicals in. lucky this time, from now on, nothing but water in a water bottle. Dave.

Glad your ok. Yeah that can be a bad thing to do.

Working with my father in law years ago, rebuilding VW engines we would prime the fuel pump and use a PBR can to catch the fuel. Plenty of PBR cans around in the garage. Well he picked up one of the catch cans off the work bench and took a good two or three gulps!

I've swallowed gasoline once and you belch up gas fumes for the rest of the day! I think milk is a neutralizer or you'll throw it up, one or the other. Just don't smoke for awhile! Lol

Yeah did that also, siphoned gas one time took a big hit on the hose and gas was near the top of hose, swallowed a good shot ..burped gas fumes for the whole day.. my girl at the time would get no where near me .. didn't smoke for a couple days either.. up side it was 94 octane

The neibors grandson ran out of gas last fall while working on his truck and without asking decided to just barrow some of his gampas gas. Dumped 5 gals off weed killer in the gas tank. Killed that Chevys entire fuel system.

I knew this one jerkoff that used to spit his chewing tobacco spit in a beer bottle. A group of us were out to dinner and "Steve" left his bottle on the table when he got up to take a piss. Another guy grabbed what he thought was his OWN beer and downed a big swig of it. When the others saw the look on his face, the group was stone cold silent....

On the eve of High School graduation, I was out all night with buddies going to the various parties. I ran out of gas about 8 miles from home. It was around 5:00 AM and the sun was about to come up.I ran and walked but finally got home and found a gas can. I rode a bike back to my car and dumped what I thought was GAS into the tank. It was NOT gasoline, but KEROSENE that my Dad had to kill weeds. 3 gallons of kerosene! The car smoked and tried to start but would not stay running. I realized it was not gas only after trying to start the car and then smelling the empty can. I went to the closest gas station and filled the 3 gallon can twice.The diluted mix of gas and kerosene did allow the car to run but it was pretty smokey until I ran the tank down again!

That is not uncommon. And the -truth- is that is not as bad as drinking gas for the body. (BTW just how many gulps does it take to know what you are drinking?)

Was driving my Dakota pickup one day. Reached into an elastic pouch on the front of the seat for a little canister of Binaca Breath Spray. Two squirts of the breath spray into my mouth and I thought I was gonna die. Had to pull over and got out of the truck coughing and gagging. I guess I shouldn't have kept the breath spray in the same place as the Auto Air Freshener "New Car Smell". My breath smelled like a new Buick for the rest of the day.

Worse one I remember was about 35 years ago. I always set my cup of coke on the bench. Well one cup was kinda hidden by junk for months. Took a sip and it was flat looked in the cup and there was green mold floating on top of the coke. Yeah, grabbed the wrong cup.

HA! You beat me to it!

I was gonna ask - what's worse, gas or some else's dip spit? I'll have the gas.

I was filling up my car yesterday and an old, stray dog slowly walked over to some spilled fuel and lapped it up. Suddenly, he began barking and running around in circles. People standing at the pumps didn't know what to think. Then, the dog dropped to the ground and remained totally motionless. Was he dead? No, he just ran out of gas.

I once had a neighbor that designed and made his own furniture from hardwood trees on his large farm. He was working late one night in his shop and took several big gulps from his favorite coffee mug. Unfortunately, the mug was filled with shellac. Did it kill him? Yes, but it was a beautiful finish.

I have a few stories about myself and other people picking up chew spitters and doing the same thing. I think I would rather drink mineral spirits PW, at least its pure.
No worries, you proved you are human.

I learned REAL early to mark my beer container.

It's now an almost uncontrollable habit-

For a can, I twist the "pull tab" to the 2:00 position immediately after opening.
Not fool proof, but greatly lessens the chances. What are the odds that 2 members of the group do the same thing? Occasionally one or two fellow drinkers will remove their tab entirely. Not me.

For bottles, I use my thumbnail to rip a small triangle out of the top dead center of the label.
That one IS almost fool proof.

On a related note, I once dated a girl who would pick up and drink from which ever beer was the most full.
Every single time. You really had to guard you own around her.

It would seem at least for the time being that I have survived myself again, the poison control person called back the next day to check on me, was in way better shape than the day before, feel good again, another day and will be back to normal, BTW poop that smells like mineral sprirts is an odd odor. all is well now. Dave.

Well, here we are again, seems like I'm getting to know the people at the poison control center on a first name basis, had to call again night before last, wyfe was working on the hen house applying a little seven dust to the bedding to control mites and other little vermin that bother the hens. wyfe was tipping the bag dusting when the bag ripped and dumped the whole thing out on the floor(cloud of dust) then getting a broom to sweep it up and put it back in the bag. from this point on it's pretty much down hill, she got very sick shortly and started throwing up, and then dry heaved for a couple of hours while sitting on the throne pooping her brains out, bad bad bad. when to the hospital and they kept her over night after giving the antidote for the poison, close call, after reading up on that stuff it's pretty stout stuff, it WILL kill you if you get to much. apparenly breathing it is the worst way to ingest it. all is well now but it was pretty rough night before last. no balance, brain kinda shuts off and doesn't think right, plus the nausea and diarreia, makes for a misrable 24 hrs, and thats with the antidote!! maybe we'll get this out of our system won't have to go thru it again, I hope. when someone tells you that sevin dust won't hurt you, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, it WILL kill you. lesson learned, the hard way, Dave.

Chickens like to scratch in their bedding. Can not see it as being good for them either.
