I tohught I was the only one that maintained a Kung-Fu Action Death Grip on their keys around sewer grates. I don’t even have to be near them, just see them. And God forbid I should walk over one.
Of course, when I was a kid I used to have nightmares about either being flushed or washing down the shower drain.
Paging Dr Freud!
Okay, just asking. Do try the pine cleaner, though. It takes care of the evil dumpster that is outside my back window.
One thing has always puzzled me, and that’s the consistency of that unique “Dumpster Juice” smell.
I mean, it seems like that sickly-sweet odor is mandatory for every dumpster, despite the varying contents of dumpsters. Restaurant dumpsters are packed with rotting food, warehouse dumpsters are full of cardboard boxes, construction site dumpsters are full of concrete debris, wood shavings, etc. Yet they all smell the SAME.
Makes one wonder if there’s a artificial “Dumpster Juice” odor that is sprayed in on occasion by those people who are responsible for dumpsters in the world.
Thanks for the suggestions regarding my car, Mercury and peri. I think I’m going to Lysol my steering wheel this afternoon.
I had to trash my cool janitor-style key ring. 
I now have one of those that looks like a ring of telephone cord. It’ll be easier to keep around my wrist, I suppose.
Man, I’d hate to have to use the computer after you.
OH PIFFLE, PEOPLE!! It’s just a little harmless dumpster juice.
Soap and water. Soap and water. Soap and water.
Sure, it’s a little disgusting and a little stomach churning. It’s NOTHING like pulling a bloated drowning victim out of a river after he’s been in there a week though.
Come on. It’s leftover hamburger juice and sodapop crud and basic organo-liquid. It ain’t like it’s all ebola infested or something. Get a grip.
(oh, and stay the HELL away fom my keyboard - I don’t want that sticky, oogie, smelly crap on MY stuff … 
)
I have cleaned many fish in my days. One thing is for sure, don’t go nosing around dumpsters that sit out in the hot sun if they are near fish cleaning stations (yet another thread to explore).
All I can say is - lemon. Use a fresh lemon to get the smell off your hands, cut that lemon in half and squeeze the juice out in your hands. I figure if that works to get dead fish guts smell off your hands, it should work for pretty much anything.
Lisa-go-Blind you don’t bite your fingernails do you? 
Eeeeeuuuwwwwwww!!!
(trys to think of something clever but brain stuck in …)
Eeeeeuuuwwwwwwwww!!!
Serious question, though, IS it a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder to wash your hands 17 times with 13 different washing substances if you actually DID have to put your hand into ucky orange lumps of dumpster juice? (how about if you only Read about having to put a hand in that stuff???)
Waaaay back in High School, I was the part-time cleaner at a music store where I was cheerfully named by the store’s manager as “our toilet boy” to anyone who even looked to be in my age group. One night there was a horrible back-up that caused the sewers to back up flooding the store’s dozen tiny, unventilated music teaching studios. Guess who got the job of pulling up the carpet and pad from those studios, and having to sling that smelly, germ-infested, heavy, wet, crap over my strong young shoulders to haul it upstairs and out of the basement???
Yup … taaaaa daaaaa … toilet boy® to the rescue … all day Saturday and most of Sunday, so the studios could be used on Monday … the showers after That were showers to remember!!! Ma? Didn’t we have a Wire brush somewhere?
**CCWATER **… "bite your nails … " Eeeeuuuuwwww!!!
TVGuy, if I were pulling a bloated drowning victim out of a river after he’s been in there a week, this would be a very different thread.
ccwaterback, part of my deep-cleansing ritual was to trim my already short fingernails almost down to the quick. No fingernail biting, no. I’m proud to say that four days later, I’m able to touch my food before eating it (I had shish kabobs tonight).
That’s pretty bad, Wyatt. My sympathies go out to you.
You could try taking your car to a full service car wash place where they clean the inside of the car too. That was a revolting experience for you, sorry you had to go through that.:eek:
