Life's Lessons...Learned the hard way.

[weiv0004]

Well, I just attempted my first "automatic" dishwashing ...um...wash. Unfortunately, I was unaware that there were certain soaps to use by hand and others to use in a machine. After throwing a generous portion of Palmolive in the machine and setting it to go, I went off to eat. Upon returning I found HUGE mounds of soap suds all over the kitchen floor. Boo. Anyone else have examples of "Life's Lessons...learned the hard way?"

I got one. if you're going fast on a road bike, don't just switch from paved trail to grass...

Pics?

ROFL @ the OP...of course you didn't bother to read the bottles? Just looked at the bottle my wife has in the kitchen. At the bottom of the back label:
"Do not use in automatic dishwashers."

What to do now

My life lesson is while on vacation try and not wash all your clothing you've brough with you in a strange washing machine. It just might stop working in the middle of washing them, leaving you with nothing but water soaked clothing.

This one time I slept with a married woman because she said her husband was "into it", boy was she wrong.

Oh well, live and learn.

3 sheets of double-ply is not enough when you got the runs...

Haha my grandpa did this a few months ago when he moved into a new condo (never had a dishwasher before). He's 80 years old though...

always check before you assume your friend has TP, before dropping an atom bomb in his crapper.

LOL, sorry no pics. Loaned my camera to a friend studying abroad in Australia. Thanks for the tip Bootprint! Also, yes it would have helped if I had read the back of the package, or even considered the name for a minute "PALMolive" as in "cleaning dishes with your PALMS-palmolive" Unfortunately I bought a 3 pak. Any suggestions on what to do with way too much dish soap I can't use?

haha. since I am using a computer on campus, the resolution is fixed at 800*600; when that site loads all I see was the wrench on the left.

Geese, I could go on forever about lessons I learned the hard way. Darn thick head of mine

 

[andylawcc]

oh, here's mine.

for first time drivers, realize the limit of your brake, especially if your car don't have ABS. I got into 2 accidents for that.

Yes, but I guarantee that noone here can top my list!
I'm educated, and I have an IQ in excess if 165, but I still feel compelled to "Try it this way instead"!

They say you learn from your mistakes: Well, I am surely one of the smartest people on earth!
(PS: I never repeat the same mistakes, thankfully.)

Well, give us some highlights or I'll call shens.

I did that to my mom's kitchen when I was 13. Good thing the house was concrete, and the floors were tile.

Along those lines, when you first learn to ride a bike, and are going down a dirt driveway on your brand spanking new BMX, remember that the LEFT brake is the front, and the RIGHT brake is the rear, and using the front going down a hill will make you flip onto your face.

haha, my grandpa did the soap thing 3 years in a row when celebrating the holidays at our house. we no longer allow him in the kitchen, which i am sure he is fine with. hmmm, makes me think how i can get out of kitchen duties......

I was downstair one time working on letting one fly when I made a terrible miscalculation. I went tearing up the stairs past my wife:

"Hey Hone..."
"FSCK OFF!!!11teh"

Bwahahahaha PWNED! :laugh:

Well, if you haven't bought dish detergent yet, save yourself another lesson - get dishwasher detergent WITH enzymes. A handful of products have enzymes and they clean much, much better. Yet people get stuck in a rut and won't switch to the far superior product.

My life lesson learned the hard way: if your wife/girlfriend wants to go on a break, it's over for good. Don't try to make anything out of that failed relationship even if you don't yet see any of the failure.
