I know I should have known better. Last night I made a stupid mistake.

I was  washing out the stove. I'm sure it hadn't been cleaned out in a good twenty plus years.

I bought a can of cleaner at Kroger a few days back. I guickly scanned over the directions   and skiped over the warnings.

It did a nice job. The oven is all clean now. But I didn't wear any gloves or anything. Son of a bitch does that stuff hurt. The shit stung and left tiny little burn marks on my hands and arm, my hands are dry and chapped now.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a few really gnarley looking scars when it heals.

Holy fuck! They put those warnings there for a reason.  I should have paid more attention. I didn't really notice the burns that much until I washed my hands when I has finished, the cold water probably made thing worse.

The people at work are gonna think I was cutting myslef of something when they see all the band-aids on my arm.

So, please don't be a knucle-head like me, pay attention to all the warnings on the products you buy. Unless you want gnarly little burns on your arms.

Thanks for Reading,
