Topic: Shampoo brought me in the hospital and kept me from confessing to my now ex workmate

Posted under Off Topic

This topic has been locked.

While I get along well with all my work mates, I don't communicate much with any of them and I usually prefer to spend my lunch time alone (which at my workplace is totally socially acceptable).
Lately though I have spent my lunch times with a certain workmate (Let's call him A).
A has huge muscles and a handsome face, he cosplays as Wolverine and oh boy he wouldn't shy back from a biceps comparison. He too was one of those guys who rarely started up a conversation and yet we got along better and better.
Sadly, today was his last day at work. From now on he will work in our new sub company which is all the way over in Germany.

Anyways, yesterday when we were eating lunch at McDonalds I told him today I'd invite him for a nice restaurant as parting gift. He happily agreed.
I planned on telling him that I had a crush on him because... well I do have a crush on him, my gaydar reacted and he went out of his way to talk to me.
While I a not eager to have a long distance relationship from the get go, I thought we could get an even closer bond, maybe some... cuddling time or whatever and in the worst case he'd just leave. After all once I complete my MSC I might decide to go over to Germany as well (We need some experienced and trusted (semi) seniors to go there).

Since I wanted to look my best today I used the blonde enhancing shampoo my Russian BFF got me. It's Russian all over with no piece in English or German at all. She totally swears on it and I too use it sometimes and liked the effect. Normally I just use the medical 5.5 ph liquid soap I buy in big batches.

Anyways, I used lots and lots of it on my head and the foam (lather?) was very thick and full of undissolved yellow shampoo.
There was so much foam that a huge piece of it dropped from my hair when I bent over a little, that it fell off!
It fell on my nose and guess what, I inhaled deeply just at that moment. My whole nose was burning horribly and I spent 15 minutes letting water rinse through my nose, yet the burning didn't get better, it got much, much worse and some blood was dripping from my nose.

I managed to drive to the hospital.
They determined that the shampoo was caustic on it's own yet I have a heavy contact allergy against some of the natural plant/oil ingredients of it and both problems aggravated each other very, very badly.

Now I will stay in the hospital for three days while I am not allowed to breath through my nose (which is pointless anyways because my smelling stopped working).

I will probably never see my coworker again and I ruined my sense of smell (hopefully not permanently).

I cried a little bit and was very sad but I am all better now. Luckily I have my laptop with me so I can do some work.

You need to stop accidentally almost killing yourself.

I'm sure this is definitely something that happened. For real.

Protip: just because the bottle says tear free does not make it a good idea to try and snort it.

For OP:
Is "A" the same buddy that you had that little oil-bath episode with?

How the hell was he supposed to know that he had a contact allergy to the shampoo? 90% of the stupid stuff you've done is deliberately stupid.

Also, that sounds like something out of a goddamn horror movie.

Get well soon.

Those were all stupid as shit, but this wasn't.

Not to mention, NONE of those were as stupid as drunk driving.

Let's not forget cheating on his boyfriend with his room mate.

True very true... but i'm only saying at this point its just becoming natural selection and I am waiting for him to for example... get his legs blown off buy a homemade meth lab accident or something...

If natural selection were truly in effect, the guy who decided to operate a metal box flying down the asphalt at 60 mph while intoxicated would be a prime candidate.

Natural selection works by attrition, not specifically.

I know. In a modern society, there's measures to ensure broad safety and survival, essentially eliminating the idea of natural selection. Only things like new diseases, and acts of utter and supreme idiocy are the exceptions.

Yeah, but he maybe right sometimes I look back on all the stuff in my life and wonder which is more shocking.

1. that I'm not adopted
2. the fact that I'm still alive

I'm detecting a little resentment and venom.. Anyway, at least clarinetist doesn't post up something stupid he does to himself every month. The more I dig through the OPs post and comment histories, the less I believe this story. His info should explain all you need to know.

Yep you're right, he practically posts everything he does every day, not each month.

Correct. I hate people who drive drunk. It's not a damn joke.

Just a bit off topic of the OP, I agree with you wholeheartedly; however, I feel one should not be judged over a single action. A little forgiveness goes a long way.

I wouldn't forgive someone who was drunk and caused an accident which lead to someone i know being killed.

Nope.

Agreed.

Life's too short to hate. As someone who needs forgiveness constantly, I know how much the sting of irreparable animosity can hurt. But reguardless- and this is to antagonist primarily since he started this- if you can't forgive clarinetist for one incident of uneventful DUI, for the sake of everyone at least ignore his post instead of needlessly bitching.

You didn't lol. A few people were (bluntly) a dick to you out of nowhere, and I didn't want to stand for it so I excaserbated the problem by replying. Not your fault.
