Lesson one - turn the light on

Sometimes I pull such a boneheaded move I have to tell on my self.

This happened about a year and a half ago and has since become a bit of a running joke around my house.

My girlfriend moved in over a year ago, but before that, we went out one night and decided to stay at her house. When we got there, I went into the bathroom and I didn't turn the light on because there was enough light from the other room to see what I was doing [ or so I thought ].
All I had planned on doing was get a dab of toothpaste on my tongue, swish some water around with it and instant fresh breath for later. [ winkwinknudgenudge ]

Well, there was a tube lying on the counter, it had a red strip on the tube and I knew she used Colgate toothpaste, so I just assumed it was the right stuff



So, I squeeze a dab out and suddenly I get this awful taste. I mean nasty, greasy horrible flavor. I think WTF is that. I come out of the bathroom spitting and sputtering, with the tube in my hand and finally got a look at what I'd grabbed.

Turns out what was lying there was this and I couldn't tell because I didn't turn the light on.




Took her a good 5 minutes to wind down from hysterical laughter to fits of snorts, giggles and chuckles.

Lesson One - turn the light on.


Here endeth the lesson.

At least your girlfriend has a sense of humor. That will take you a long way in a relationship.

Good lesson. I will take it to heart.

Yeah....she has the same reaction every time she sees me naked.

This sounds like something I would do.

Another lesson to be had here: I will never put ointments on the same counter as the toothpaste. It will live somewhere else. I hate turning the lights on early in the AM unless there's a dimmer so I consider myself in the at-risk group for a mouthful of ointment.

Ah yes. Overconfidence in a darkened bathroom has lead me to many nasty mishaps.
