Argh. I just had a bottle of scalding hot, soapy water explode in my face. I had the water bottle sitting by my desk unused for a couple weeks and decided to go de-mold it. There is a boiling-hot water dispenser beside the lunch room sink. So I thought, dish soap plus boiling water = dead mold quick. In goes the soap. In goes the steaming stream of water. I snapped the lid on and shook it a few times. I hadn't considered the air within would have heated up so quickly...probably the shaking & sudsing did it, cuz when I popped the lid open--aimed directly at my eyes for good measure--it kerblooyed soap and scalding droplets all over my face. Since I had an audience of at least one person, I toned down my response from "AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" to a more temperate, "STUPID!! STUPID!! STUPID!!" I'm glad that other guy was there, so he could ask if I was sure I was alright, and hand me a paper towel to wipe the foam and drips off my eyes before opening them. "Quite the science experiment, eh?" he said, once it was clear my eyes didn't look like Qui Chang's master's. Now I just get to wonder if I'll sport a nifty rosacea pattern on my forehead for the next couple days. :P
Well, at least your face'll be germ-free for a bit.
Yeah man, as well as all cabinet doors on the East side of the lunchroom, except for the nuclear shadow of my head.
