I have a screened-in porch. It got pretty dirty over the winter so last night I washed down the walls, door, and floor. Swiping the rag in an upward direction as I washed the door, I jammed the rusty hook of the door’s hook-and-eye fastener into the palm of my hand.
So now I’m fresh back from the doctor’s office where I got a tetanus shot.
See?? See what cleaning gets you, Jodi?? Pain and a $20 co-pay! This is why you should never do it. When you clean stuff, God punishes you.
That’s what Merry Maids are for!
Ouch! Sounds very puncture-y. Good to hear you got da shot.
ouch!!!
this is why i have a roomba and scooba. i love roo and scooby.
I’m with you about the whole cleaning thing. And I wish you had told me that before I started posting in the Slob reform SDMB edition.
But are you sure you’re supposed to poke the hook into your hand to clean it? I don’t remember that in any instruction book. 
Seriously, I’m sorry you were hurt. That just adds insult to injury. Or did my post do that? 
In any event, get better soon.
That works for me.
Thats why you use a high pressure washer on anything outdoors
This is why I have a husband. I make HIM do it. 
And I bet he has more interesting attachments.
!!! Ow!
I broke my engagement ring’s center diamond while doing laundry. You’d THINK that would mean no more laundry, wouldn’t you? Apparently, my husband thinks it’s a fair trade-off to replace diamonds while I continue to do the laundry.
You broke your diamond doing laundry? You are doing it much more energetically than I am.
Once I had an asthma attack while cleaning out the cats’ litterpans. Now the litterpan-cleaning chore is always done by my husband.
I tried faking an asthma attack while doing laundry, but hubby didn’t fall for it. Ah, well, it was worth a shot.
Extremely hard water eh!
You did bring it in to be tested for cubic zirconia-ness, right?
Want a good reason not to clean up? Try finding your Mom’s love-cuffs under the sofa when you’re vacuuming the living room.
My first response was ew, ew, ewwwww!
But my second thought was, how did you know that’s what it was. . . . maybe it was used for . . . er, something else?
Well, they were handcuffs wrapped in leopard-print fuzzy fabric. The only place I’d ever seen such a thing was at a novelty store next to gummi boobs and penis pasta, so… ew.
Ouchies! Best wishes to a speedy recovery.
Be careful. Now your door has a taste for bbbllloooooddddd. :eek:
Bwahahaha.
Ha! No, I whacked my ring on the dryer when I was putting stuff into it.
LOL!
Nah, it had a flaw that caused it to shear when it was whacked. The jewellery store replaced it free. Hooray for warranty!
i figured roo and scooby were lower maintence.
