I thought I may share this today to help cheer-up anyone who is have a bad day. Out at camp the water is shut off in the winter to save the lines from freezing.Because of this, when we go there in the winter a small portable toilet is used. I then bring the tank home and empty it here.I have gotten a bit lazy with getting things done lately and forgot to empty the tank after the last trip.So today I had the day off and decided to empty the tank that has been sitting in the garage full, for about four weeks!The problem is though, the tank was VERY full from the trip and had pressurized from the warm temps we have had in the past few days.I brought the tank into the bathroom and without thinking about it opened the tank vent.You can probably guess what happened next as my face was only 18-24 inches from the vent when I opened it.I remember the sound vividly, then the realization of what had just sprayed me in the face!Oh, and then there was the smell!Oh god that smell, that was now in my beard!It took two showers and washing my face several times to get rid of that wonderful smell!So remember you might be having a bad day, but someone else could be have a truely “crappy day”!I think I am going to take another shower now!-Rick
oh SNAP!
I think I threw up a little reading your post.
Sorry about your "shitty" day.
On Sunday, my <4 year old Samsung fridge gave out. Cap-put! My wife & I spent a few hours calling friends/family to see if they had room in their fridge/freezers. To make matters worse, I have about 100lbs of frozen raw food for the dog that I buy every 6-7 weeks.
The appliance repair guy for Samsung told me that it's not worth fixing ($400 -500 cost) and can't guarantee if it'll give out next week, next month, or next year. He also said that new fridges have an average 4 to 6 year life span. WTF!
The facts were confirmed by my neighbour that owns an appliance repair shop. They sure don't make them the way they used to. They both said to stay away from Samsung, LG, & Bosch as they see them everyday. Also not to buy fridges with high-tech gadgets (LCD screens, water/ice dispensors, etc = more crap to break). Advice was to buy simple, domestic brands. Why, because repairs are cheaper and they'll break down anyways.
Well that's $1200 I didn't want to spend on a stupid fridge.
I remember when I was a kid, my friend and I were installing a car radio in his dashboard. Picture this: My friend is upside down with his head on the hump of the floor board with his legs over the back of the front seat (bench seat in those days) He was in that position so that he could see up under the dashboard while he was soldering some wires, when a drop of hot solder fell up his nose! I can still first hear the sizzle from the hot solder up his wet nose, then his screams while he tried to crawl out of that impossible position. We still laugh about that one, I more than he.
To paraphrase a well known saying - Don’t put off until tommorow what you did yesterday.
oh dear….you probably didn’t want that to happen.
my day started off crappy, we’re all full of colds at chez gords. I woke up at 5 with my ribs screaming like someone had taken an iron bar to them….
thinking about how grumpy my little ones have been, I wondered if its actually a chest infection, a trip to the doctors confirmed its just a bad cold but better safe than sorry.
Anyway, work was quiet so the boss said to stay home and try and heal up a little, this was good as I intercepted the delivery of my latest “review sample ” a convoy l2 from fasttech, got the kids in bed and built it up with a 3a driver and xp-g2….
I have a new top thrower 8)
crappy day turned to good day. :bigsmile:
My wife just reminded me that I have had many poop related “issues”. Like the time at work when a courtesy flush went wrong.Or when I closed down a TacoBell bathroom.I really could just go on and on!
I only had to read through the 2nd sentence to figure out the ending :)!!
Sorry that it’s been this way for you, and hope that things get better (can’t get worse, right )

Wow. I have heard of people getting their nose coterized before but that’s an interesting tecknique.
I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that since my wife had to have the fancy Samsung fridge. At least it has a bunch of leds lighting it No lcd and don’t use the ice/water thing, maybe I’m safe……
Hope everything goes better for you, if you got sprayed in the eyes it might be a good idea to get antibiotic eye drops, Several years ago I was driving after it rained and rolled down the window to adjust the side mirror and the car next to me landed in a pot hole and splashed me completely, the dirty water got in my eyes and the next day I had a very severe Eye infection, had to take Cipro Eye drops and strong antibiotics to fight off the infection that was making one side of my face feel weird.
Oh, and sorry about the poop.
that in a million years.http://budgetlightforum.com/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Roving/oups.png……made my day all the better though. Makes it could be worse have new meaning for sure……Hope tomorrow is better and how could it not be ?
I tell you what, Rick, that beard would have been the first thing to come off! I've not experienced getting hit in the face but many years ago when I did construction I had a port-o-potty splash back on me and that was it for the day. Pulled up my pants and raced home to the shower. I can't imagine getting that in the face. Yuck!!!
Lets see… My day started crappy & stayed that way…
1. I drove 90 miles into the middle of nowhere taking stones to a oil rig. Wasn’t it my good fortune… DOT ( Dept of Transportation ) Officers were there inspecting trucks. After reenacting a prison shower rape scene with me & my rig. They tell me the truck can’t go up on site. So I drive 90 miles back & dump the stones where I started.
2. Next load, the guys in front of me pissed off the loader and he loaded me 2 tons , 4000 pounds heavy. I go back to ask him to remove some weight. He says he can’t get to it. I spent the next hour tripping the gate & shoveling stone to make the truck legal.My hands are all skinned up.
3. The piece de resistance… I go drop the second load. Been drinking too much coffee, go to answer mother nature…. IN the middle of process my boss calls. I answer the phone talk at him a few seconds and realize I am pissing down the leg of my jeans.
I am now at home drinking a beer & not moving. I have learned on days like this, the less I move the safer I am.
Pictures or it didn’t happen. Now go back there with a video camera and re-create the event for us… J)
A friend of mine had is soldering iron sitting on a bench, forgot it was there, and sat on it. Hey Bob, do you smell something burning? Beans and weenies were smokin’!
And i can tell you that soldering in the nude is not too wise…
when i was a kid i was using a small propane torch to light off firecrackers that the wicks burned up but no bang… shut the torch off, set it down to do something, then picked the torch up by the nozzle… burnt the $#!7 out of the web i guess youd call it between my thumb and pointer on my right hand. can still see the scars some 18-20 years later… lesson learned. always pick torch up by canister
i cant imagine your pain. i have a weak stomach for bodily waste and puke… i would have lost my lunch
OK Texaspyro, I just checked the spare tank in the garage and guess what?It’s also full!So I’ll make a deal with you.Meet me at the cabin in WVa this weekend and we can do your little reinactment.I’ll hold the camera! :Sp
Thanks for the laugh, and +1 to JohnnyMac's suggestion of the razor.
