I thought I'd lighten the mood and share a reasonably funny story that happened today :P
I was cleaning a sink at work, and was using the scourer, when suddenly I accidentally flicked it upwards, and some of the water landed on my lips!
I was like: AHHHHHH GERMS! Then even worse, I saw I had grabbed the toilet scourer by accident instead of the kitchen one, so I washed my mouth out with water and rubbed sanitiser all over my lips (it burnt) and then remembered I only used the "toilet" scourer to clean the sinks in there anyways >.<
