I found out a life lesson

I found out today that when you're cooking on a gas grill....you're supposed to turn the lighter on first, then the gas. I turned on the gas, and spent to long trying to start the lighter. When it finally started, the air around the grill was full of gas. So when the lighter got near the grill...I lost all the hair on my knuckles and top of my hand. Scared the crap out of me.

So, for theads sake, what life lessons have you guys had to learn the hard way?

do not throw Jumping Jacks into dry grass.

Fortunately, there was a hose nearby. I still marred my grandparents' lawn with a big ugly black spot, though... Sad

Do not pour rubbing alcohol into a goblet and light it while the whipped husband of a violent pyrophobe can see you. He'll ban you from his game shop.(I wasn't even in the game shop at the time!)

Don't make Republican comments on a message board owned by a Democrat. He will ban you without a warning.

Speaking of, feel free to violently flame another user in an IRC channel, but don't even think of changing your name. Violently flaming a user is perfectly acceptable, but deciding you don't like your old nickname is a bannable offense.

Don't put orange-scented rubbing alcohol into a humidifier. It will screw you up.

If you absolutely must fill a balloon with aerosol deodorant, be careful how much you squeeze out and light at a time, lest you find your lap occupied by a 3-foot wide fireball and set off a loud enough explosion that your little sister runs down two flights of stairs to ask "What was that!?" while your older brother laughs like a maniac.(Actually, I'm the laughing older brother in this one.)

Going down hill on a rainy bike just after it had rain, is not a smart idea.

Don't reach over a toaster/hotplate to get things xD

check your bike brakes regularly, and compensate for rainy days.
i was in the city on a rainy day, and the street had an 15% slope, in the rain, that makes it worse, in the city, that makes it trams and cars and buses to dodge.

never play with steak knives. i was slicing lemons on the branch when i grabbed one and stabbed it with the knife.
for some reason i thought: 'why would a lemon bleed red blood?'
to my dismay, i had sliced my finger.

'Warning, High Voltage' is exactly that.

you cannot slow down a car in neutral slowly rolling down a hill with your body.

pretty red and blue jellyfish are NOT.

always, ALWAYS wash your hands before you eat. i smacked a fly a few weeks ago thinking i shooed it away, hours later, when i was about to eat some finger food, to my horror, i had actually swatted it and it was goo all over my palm.

you CANNOT make expired food better by covering it up with spices and cooking it with perfectly good ingredients.

do not swing and do backflips or hang upside down from branches less than 15cm in diameter. in my year 12 at highschool, there was a 'sturdy' branch in the school courtyard and i was hanging off it chatting to friends, and it seemed sturdy. so i did a flip while hanging on, and it held. then i tried again, and broke the branch right off the gum tree and landed on the stone engraved concrete underneath with this long huge branch on top of me. wasnt my brightest day.

thats all that i can think of for now, and also, most of these happened to me within the last 4 years.

I work in a pizza place, so I have to wash my hands after every fly I squish with my hands.

Also, there was a point this year when gnats would congregate in the sauce. That was gross.

Humm.... surprisingly, airsoft and BB guns are not as painful as I'd expected them to be. Also, cool-melt hot glue is surprisingly safe.

Speaking of hot glue: do not try to dig a lump of hot glue off of a surface with an X-acto knife.

Also, Hot glue is a lot more resistant to X-acto blades than the skin of your thumb.

Milk should not smell fruity. If it does, it usually also has chunks in it.
