Reminds me of the time I noticed the sink was full of water so I plunged my hand in to unplug it, turns out it was full of bleach. Delicious burning bleach.
Some jackass at work did that with a sink full of industrial strength drain clog remover. Shit is like pure lye with a pH of like 13 and change. He had a chem burn from the tips of his fingers to his elbow that must have hurt far beyond excruciating.
I had to develop a safety protocol to handle something like that and prevent it from happening again. My solution was to not use 1000x the amount of drain cleaner necessary and to leave a fucking note near the sink if you decide to fill it with horrific volumes of chemicals. I also developed a power point slide show about not sticking your hands in random, unidentified clear fluids in an industrial facility, because it could be water or it could be some caustic terror that will tear the flesh from your bones. It had pictures and everything.
you should have made it like those drivers ed films where they show people dying horribly in car accidents to get the viewer's attention

Yeah, in my defense, I don't expect the toilet sink to ever be filled with bleach, the kitchen and utility room sink? Sure, but the toilet sink is where a man goes to wash the feces of his hands so he may enjoy a fine sandwich.
Yeah, your own home is a different thing. I tried explaining that to the gentlemen who worked at the site. In a plant however, assume everything is a vat of toxic chemicals that will melt you. Because sometimes it is.
Not that it's identical to the above incident, but when I was high schoo, I worked at a McDonald's and a kid slipped next to the deep fryer and tried to grab something to retain his balance and ended up elbow deep in the deep fry oil.
Like Knob says if it burns your throat, then on te way back up it will pour even more of its poisony goodness into your blood stream.
So digesting it is a better idea?
ever noticed that when you throw up your gastric acid burns your throat?
aduh
I've thrown up a couple of times due to food poisoning or digestive problems. I've never had a raw throat because of it. Hell, even afterwards I could light up a smoke and puff away.
Your throat made of marmalade or something?
oh ok you smoke so your throat is perpetually irritated and fucked so you can't tell the difference

I have a safety sign generator program to make my own signage. My favorite is the crushed hand going through a gear with big bold type that says "Don't Put Your Hand In Machinery, It Will Really Hurt". I like to hang those up.
I also made one with a man on fire running out a door that said "Glass Pouring In Progress So Don't Walk Through: WARNING - IT'S REALLY HOT". Some people don't enjoy my sense of humor.

O boy it happened a quite a few times (throat burning) when I have to stay awake overnight. I will be sitting there typing and suddenly there was this nasty sweet(as in taste) burning sensation in my throat.
My sister didn't drink peroxide...however she washed her contact with it and then jammed it in her eye.
The screaming was the stuff that haunts your dreams.
Fuck that would hurt.
God, I was cringing just reading that.
I never messed with cleaners, but the last time I had my eyes dilated, for some reason, it made my eyes extraordinarily, monumentally dry. I was a dumb son of a bitch, and when I went to take out my contacts, I didn't wet my eyes first, so I basically scraped off a top layer of…eye. My eyes were in some serious pain, the entire night. It didn't matter if I kept them open or shut, nor how much saline I put in there. I think I must not have slept for more than about 5 minutes at a time.

Yea, her eyesight is shit without the contacts and it was early in the morning. This was just before they started labeling the saline solution and peroxide with different color caps for contact rinses.
She hit the floor screaming bloody murder.
My old man and I bolt for the door thinking she's dying in there, but since it was the bathroom and she had just showered...she was feeling slightly exposed.
To hear her tell it she was having a hard time picking if she should let us help or block the door. Eventually, between trying to claw her eye out and screaming for us not to kick the door down, she got a towel on her.

I've seen stuff on documentaries about bad restaurants that used stuff like that to clean toilets. Splash it all over the toilet bowl, don't bother to rinse it down. Lady sits down to poop. Stands back up sans thighs.
man I thought everyone knew not to puke if you swallow something toxic
I guess it's not common knowledge
either way glad you're not gonna die h5 bro
Funny how it went from "Throw that shit up!" to "Hold on a second that might be a bad idea".
Oh how the times have changed.
No, whether or not you should induce vomiting is dependent on the chemical you swallowed. Check the bottle.
Yeah, but the general rule of thumb has changed. Most chemicals now say to not induce vomiting..there are very few that suggest you do. This is in contrast to the trend seen a few decades ago. Basically it's just a better understanding of how the body reacts to poison. Throwing up doesn't really help remove the poison like it was once thought to. You are correct in that you should read the bottle to make sure whether or not to take an expectorant.
Rinder on

Did his pubes turn yeller?
god, i can imagine that would hurt worse than getting stitches on your cornea
with a mechanical pencil

This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Fuck that would hurt.
God, I was cringing just reading that.
you aren't supposed to drink all purpose cleaner?
because I just chug that shit like nobody's business
I didn't think it would be you though taters
I mean it is a pretty lame joke

i did it like 2 weeks ago
the fucking agony
i stumble into the bathroom at 3am, getting ready for work
i didnt pay attention to what bottle i grabbed to wet the contacts in my eyes (i sleep with my contacts in)
i am immediantly awakened by the searing pain in my eyeball

Stupid remix.
I don't think I knew that, or would have thought of that.
But this is not a problem I have ever heard of actually happening.
Funny how it went from "Throw that shit up!" to "Hold on a second that might be a bad idea".
Oh how the times have changed.
and all I gotta say is
bwahahahahahaha
But in all fucking seriousness, this has to be the funniest thing I've read in a very, very long time.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
This is a gross understatement.
I had hard contacts and made the mistake of sleeping with them on. Once I went to remove them, a lesion would form on my cornea due to lack of oxygen.
It's really painful.
Luckily your eye is the one organ on the body that can heal the quickest.
