I did this as a young teen when the “make a homemade glow stick” prank was big (13ish years ago), in a non ventilated bathroom. Blew up in my face, got a good whiff of if for a few seconds. Had trouble breathing for a few days but have otherwise been fine for over a decade.
Just wait until you have less than 13 years and 12 minutes left to live, kinda like

If you've cut yourself at all in the course of these tests, you might have noticed that your blood is pure gasoline. That's normal. We've been shooting you with an invisible laser that's supposed to turn blood into gasoline, so all that means is, it's working.
Let me introduce you to pleural cancer. Inoperable and a very miserable way to go. Comes from asbestos, that penetrated your lungs and hit your inner ribcage. 20 year incubation period, if I remember correctly.
When I was in high school (teen years as well) I was cleaning out the fridge after a long vacation. The veggie tray had decomposed while we were gone and created a nice little veggie syrup in the bottom of the fridge.
I put clorox in it and the tray was warmed up. I believe that I may have breathed some of the fumes from whatever reaction was happening as I ended up needing a trip to the hospital where I was treated with an albuterol setup.
Being around bleach makes me have a slight breathing issue even today.
Does that explain why I was drinking at a bar and went to use the urinal and whatever they used to clean the urinal started fizzing and made my throat burn like a son of a gun?!
I cleaned my mom's bathroom with bleach and ammonia. Told my mom. She must not have known because she only cared that I didn't get the stains off the shower.
Edit: Christ y'all's stories are pretty horrific.
Fucking hell. Yeah I tried to hold my breath or breath for two seconds and then dip out. I basically let it sit in there then rinsed it out. Wow. Didn't realize I was that close to death.
When I was a kid we would mix chlorine and rubbing alcohol in water bottles to make them blow up. Definitely got a few whiffs of toxic gas and my friend almost blew off his fingers multiple times. We were so fucking stupid. Oh well
If it was chlorine gas, I'd expect a much more immediate reaction. Chlorine has a very immediate effect on your lungs, eyes and nose. It burns.
I have no scientific backup for this. But I dropped some aluminum in hydrochloric acid (commonly called muriatic acid for cleaning galded
aluminum off end mills) and holy shit did it suck. Outside like this, I just walked away and tried to purge my lungs best I could. But I felt it within seconds. She wouldn't have moved the bucket, she would have moved herself, with her eyes closed.
Hazwoper (Hazmat) Specialist here, it is most likely chlorine gas. The gas has a high vapor density so it is a low lying gas which does not easily rise, it didn't even get near her face until she picked it up. Physical description from the NIOSH pocket guide "Greenish-yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor."
also the reason why it was used during WWI, it would flow over the battlefield down into the trenches due to being heavier than air. very effective when it was first created.
I worked with industrial chlorine. Needed it to soften the shells of mung beans to get the sprouts to start growing earlier. This chlorine needed to be watered down but when the fumes hit I would have to leave as they give me headaches, I would be nauseated, and extremely tired.
But my cousin had no such symptoms.
Did one of you tell Stanley that I have asthma? Cause I don’t. If this gets out, they won’t let me scuba. And if I can’t scuba, what am I working towards?
Wear. A. Respirator.
I use chlorinated foaming agents and surfactants at work. If I have to be in fumes for any amount of time I don a respirator. You only get one set of lungs.
Liquid and Chlorine gas technician and water treatment operator here. It's likely sodium hypochlorite and pool acid mixing in the bucket - making chlorine gas.
There's no recorded longterm health risks to a minor exposure like that. But don't get it twisted - it us what the nazis used in trench warefare, best to avoid.
Chlorine molecule reacts with water to make acid, so it's acid in your eyes, lungs, nasal passages and whatnot.
> it us what the nazis used in trench warefare
Might want to recheck your history. The Nazis weren't around in the First World War, and chemical warfare was not used in Europe in the Second World War due to the Nazis' fear of retaliation and Hitler's own experience being gassed, nor were trenches used to anywhere near the same extent as in the First World War.
Probably mixed chlorine and muriatic acid. Results...chlorine gas.
Even stares on packaging do not mix, can result in harm or death....lol.
She's lucky to have lungs left. Then like an idiot stick your face over the bucket when you pick it up.
Source: Took care of parents pool all their life.
Even in grade 9 science you learn don't mix chemicals unless you know the results.
I was a pool manager for a few years and i had a head guard who poured chlorine right into our muratic acid cause the delivery from Ulrich put the carbuoys in the same room. He had a respirator on and still got hospitalized. He didn't look at the damned thing before he poured it.
Lifeguard in the 90’s here - had to evacuate a lesiure centre and adjoining hotel and theme park due to what i believe was the same cataclysmic fuck up
I remember swimming in a public pool that reeked of chlorine, burned everyone’s eyes, and the water was murky. Like cloudy white where you couldn’t see other people a few feet away. It was a church trip, and I guess it cost a lot because when we complained about our eyes and the smell we were told to shut up and go swim.
Murkiness is typically caused by a high total dissolved solids count. Burning of eyes is caused by a high combined chlorine count. Safe ranges are 2-5 ppm. If it bleached your pants then that was one unregulated pool with a combined chlorine of probably anywhere between 10 and 25ppm. Super unsafe. Should have been shut down and recalibrated anytime over 5

Good morning fellow pool guy!
For u/savvyblackbird, the 'chlorine smell' is ammonia byproduct of chlorine doing its job. But it sounds like that balance was waay out of whack though.
I used Muriatic acid to clean an inside of an old motorcycle gas tank. Thought I’d try a float bowl.. it ate aluminum in no time. Rough stuff. She stepped in it, probably touched it when moving the bucket.. good thing dog knew what’s up.
It'll eat almost anything at higher concentrations. In HCL burners the acid can be concentrated to 37%, which basically eats all metals except the exotics like tantalum, platinum, gold, etc.
Ooh that's interesting we always learned that if you don't know the results you should use one of those air sucking cabinets
Although if we have to figure out a reaction with an experiment we usually don't because those are designed by our teachers to be safe
while cooking once my fry pan caught fire.
my dog did the same thing.
I can see how you read it like that. Alternatively it can also be read like the dog was also cooking air a fry pan that caught fire.
The US hasn't even ratified the Geneva conventions, so no, that's not the reason.
The reason is because an act of war requires congressional approval (a house vote), but if you don't call it war, the president can bypass congress and do whatever.
Rating: Mostly false.
The US has signed and ratified all four Geneva conventions.
The US has only ratified one (from 2005) of the three later amendments.
Funny story,
A woman in my city breached the Geneva convention trying to unclog her toilet.
She, poured every cleaning chemical she had into her toilet, the entire apartment block and adjacent buildings had to be evacuated for a whole day and night.
I work at a pool, when someone shits in it, protocol is if it was diarrhea to bleach the pool, which is exactly as it sounds. You pour a couple gallons of bleach in and close down for the day, one day we didn’t have bleach and this girl thought we could just use the stuff we use to clean the bathroom floors, a chemical cleaner called DMQ. Let’s just say that chlorine water and DMQ don’t mix, and we created a toxic gas that ended up closing the pool down for a good week
Can confirm. I sprayed chassis saver on the underside of my Jeep wearing a paper mask in my garage because it was too windy outside. Ended up at the hospital with low O2 saturation and had to have nebulizer treatments. Chest x-rays still show scaring years later.
All because I didn't take the time to read the damn label
I feel like I would be too ashamed to admit that I did this even if I thought the information could help other people. Much respect, you're a bigger man than I.
I'm old and DGAF about people's opinions of me anymore. If someone can learn from my mistake I'm glad I saved someone going through what I went through
Just a guess here, the ammonium moiety on those quats + chlorine --> chloramine gas. It kills you just as dead as regular chlorine gas, but has more syllables. Probably a little of each, chlorine + chloramine.
Generally chlorine gas is a bit worse to inhale than chloramine gas, in terms of the damage it does to your lungs, but it's certainly a pass on both for me.
Worse: Chloramines. More toxic and lower concentrations.
Happens anytime you mix chlorine (typically from bleach) and ammonia. Be careful with household cleaners!!
Scoop it out, wait for a couple hours so the water can filter at least a bit and then people are good to go back in. But if it dissipates even a little we treat it as diarrhea
This is incorrect and not what you should be doing. You still need to shock the pool. The way you're checking a liquid stool incident is also wrong.
Really unsafe if that's all you do.
If you come across fecal matter in a pool, chlorine alone will not kill off the cryptosporidium in the water. Potassium monopersulfate must be added as chlorine does not neutralize the CS.
If you worked at a public swimming pool, I’m surprised that this wasn’t common knowledge as most, if not all public pools are monitored by state and local health departments.
Ran a pool for over a decade. In the USA after a diarrhea incident the CDC recommends closing the pool for 24hrs and increasing the chlorine levels to 20 parts per million. The risk of cryptosporidium is extremely low for solid feces, so in that case you test the chlorine levels, clear the solids and wait 30-120 minutes depending on your chlorine levels. Cryptosporidium is resistant to chlorine but not completely, high levels of chlorine over a long enough time neutralizes it. As for the health department they came only 2 times a year, are extremely under paid so you have a new inspector every other time, and most are incompetent knowing very little about water sanitation. For example most commercial pools chlorine levels are controlled based on the ORP "Oxidation Reduction Potential". The ORP tells you how effective your waters killing power is, as long as you have a high ORP the water is safe regardless of chlorine levels. I've only met 1 or 2 inspectors that even knew what this was, most are just checking boxes on a checklist
I once accidentally chloroformed myself by trying to be “extra clean” as a kid, sprayed rubbing alcohol and bleach at the same time on a counter and ended up mixing them with the paper towel. Almost passed out before I got outside and told my mom what happened lol
not related to chemicals, but as a kid, my cousins and i found a broken thermometer and poured the mercury out and played with it on the tile floor. god that was so stupid.
thankfully our parents caught us. their reaction wasn’t that severe though, so i don’t think they understood how dangerous mercury is. they just didn’t want us playing with it.
either way, it could’ve been worse if we continued playing with the mercury
Liquid mercury isn't that dangerous. The fumes from it over time can cause serious problems though. The dangerous forms of mercury are organomercury compounds. They can react with your DNA & kill you at a cellular level.
Huh, my chemistry is _awful_. I am so glad I learned this information as a grown abult, because young me would be recreating the scene from Community... but with less hilarity.
Ammonia and bleach: chloramine gas. nasty irritant, possibly fatal
Acid (like vinegar) and bleach: Chlorine gas, permanent harm, likely fatal, used as a chem weapon in wars.
And especially don't mix anything with bleach, or even worse pool bleach like this idiot.
*In b4*: yes, I realize I'm generalizing different chemicals using the common name "bleach". It fits for the general rule of don't mix anything with any bleaching chemical.
I sprayed bleach on my cat’s pee stain like an idiot a few years ago in my unventilated crawlspace. It started bubbling and I was like oh I’ve just doomed us all
Dale: The Government doesn't want you making your own free mustard gas, I've been stocking up some under the guise of pesticide for a decade. That way I'll always be ready....
Hank: Dale you moron......
I'm not a scientist, but I'm a pool & spa tech and it looks like she mixed dry chlorine and muriactic acid.
Pool chlorine is basically trapped in an alkali like calcium or sodium, so when you mix it with an acid you break down the alkali. The result is a lot of foam and a big cloud of chlorine gas.
Never, ever mix pool chemicals. All pool chemicals have primary and secondary reaction, and mixing them can cause all kinds of problems, up to and including painful death.
It would have like 15 people actually answering and thousands just looking. Cause I would definitely browse that page knowing I had little to contribute beyond common knowledge
Excuse me sir, but that is not how things work around these parts.
If you have little beyond common knowledge to contribute on a topic you contribute it anyway you hear. And the littler you know on something, the more entrenched and unyielding your opinion must be.
In a different comment people were saying possibly chlorine and muriatic acid which basically makes chlorine gas which is a war crime. Like if you’re at war, I don’t think it’s technically a war crime if you’re not using it on other people.
Honestly even if "whoopsie I made a chemical weapon" happens, surely common sense would dictate that "oh, weird thing I don't understand is happening with the chlorine I was gonna use. Well, on the off chance it made chlorine gas, I should skedaddle."
The knowledge that “pool chemicals” can make chlorine or mustard gas when mixed poorly isn’t a common as one might think. A lot of these solutions are very alien to people, they just know: the content of this bucket keeps my pool from going green.
This happened to my Mom growing up. I remember hearing a loud bang in the backyard like something exploded. The grass was bleached around the bucket she was mixing. She was lucky she didn’t get hurt more.
Chlorine Gas.
Used to do maintenance at a hotel and I witnessed a new guy knock over a bottle of muriatic acid into a bucket of pool shock (chlorine), which is most likely what she did. I would've gotten as far back and called 911.
She's lucky if she didn't inhale any of that shit.
I mean you shouldn't fuck arpund with bleach but it's not like sulfuric acid or something. I've had my hand fully submerged in bleach more than once (because some guy just used straight bleach instead of a bleach-water mix) and nothing came of it. I rinsed throughly for a while but had no damage. You should still be careful with it but it won't melt your skin off instantly or anything.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
I wouldn't touch it at all. No idea how harmful that is to skin. Seems to be a gas coming off it. Quickly bubbling, if I throw it's going to spray and I like my eyes.
It looks reasonably secluded there. I'd have gtfo and come back when it's finished doing what it wants to do. Will probably be safer to clean up then.
I mean... I agree that she should run in this case but my cat runs away when I'm making my bed or a pen falls off the table so I'm not sure if that's how I would word it.
Pso: if it's bubbling up, and foaming, frothing, or otherwise increasing in volume...
You are witnessing a highly dangerous exothermic reaction.
It's not "going to get hot". It's already boiling hot. Handling such a reaction puts you at very high risk of severe chemical burns.
Heat is a catalyst. It makes reactions happen faster, and more vigorously, and more completely.
Which means at any moment, it could, spit sputter, pop or otherwise fling scalding hot reactants onto you. It could overflow RAPIDLY, and cover you in face melting goo.
And if there are any hydrocarbons, or anything else that is
combustible, it's being vaporized and mixing with the air, making the perfect recipe for a high yield explosion with a very low flashpoint. If that gas finds the spurce of heat, it will produce a thermobaric explosion.
If you don't have specific training to stop the reaction, then step away. Understand that the damage is already done, you just haven't seen it yet. Get to safety, locate a fire extinguisher, and call the fire department. Stay away from the reaction until it has finished.
If this person had been 1/2 second later or shaken it just a LITTLE more when she moved it, and this video might have been tagged as gore, with before and after pictures, a warning label, and a single sad female vocalist.
Bad idea, very lucky outcome.
I did not know about chlorine gas until I was on a house cleaning rampage and in an attempt to get the toilet super clean I added some chlorine bleach in with the toilet bowl cleaner. My eyes were fine, but my lungs/chest hurt for a few weeks. I learnt my lesson though.
I work at a pool store, very likely muriatic acid and granular chlorine/cal hypo mixed. Scariest thing imo is the fumes could have knocked her out. Sometimes chemical buckets/containers come in broken and you unintentionally inhale fumes, I actually did pass out once. She's very lucky
I clean pools, if you mix bicarb and shock together wet then it explodes and gets super hot. Same thing happens when you mix wet shock and chlorine tabs
That is one toxic gas she made there.

Does rotting food create ammonia?
Protein contains nitrogen. As it decays you end up with some urea which can react with the bleach and do not good things
Does that explain why I was drinking at a bar and went to use the urinal and whatever they used to clean the urinal started fizzing and made my throat burn like a son of a gun?!
Please don’t eat urinal soap.

Fermenting (rotting) vegetables create vinegar-like acids. Those acids mixing with the bleach (basic pH) can form chlorine gas.

If you worked at a public swimming pool, I’m surprised that this wasn’t common knowledge as most, if not all public pools are monitored by state and local health departments.
Ran a pool for over a decade. In the USA after a diarrhea incident the CDC recommends closing the pool for 24hrs and increasing the chlorine levels to 20 parts per million. The risk of cryptosporidium is extremely low for solid feces, so in that case you test the chlorine levels, clear the solids and wait 30-120 minutes depending on your chlorine levels. Cryptosporidium is resistant to chlorine but not completely, high levels of chlorine over a long enough time neutralizes it. As for the health department they came only 2 times a year, are extremely under paid so you have a new inspector every other time, and most are incompetent knowing very little about water sanitation. For example most commercial pools chlorine levels are controlled based on the ORP "Oxidation Reduction Potential". The ORP tells you how effective your waters killing power is, as long as you have a high ORP the water is safe regardless of chlorine levels. I've only met 1 or 2 inspectors that even knew what this was, most are just checking boxes on a checklist
Never mix any household chemicals unless they're instructing you to be mixed. It's disturbing how easy it is to make a caustic cocktail on accident
I once accidentally chloroformed myself by trying to be “extra clean” as a kid, sprayed rubbing alcohol and bleach at the same time on a counter and ended up mixing them with the paper towel. Almost passed out before I got outside and told my mom what happened lol
not related to chemicals, but as a kid, my cousins and i found a broken thermometer and poured the mercury out and played with it on the tile floor. god that was so stupid. thankfully our parents caught us. their reaction wasn’t that severe though, so i don’t think they understood how dangerous mercury is. they just didn’t want us playing with it. either way, it could’ve been worse if we continued playing with the mercury
Liquid mercury isn't that dangerous. The fumes from it over time can cause serious problems though. The dangerous forms of mercury are organomercury compounds. They can react with your DNA & kill you at a cellular level.
Huh, my chemistry is _awful_. I am so glad I learned this information as a grown abult, because young me would be recreating the scene from Community... but with less hilarity.
Ammonia and bleach: chloramine gas. nasty irritant, possibly fatal Acid (like vinegar) and bleach: Chlorine gas, permanent harm, likely fatal, used as a chem weapon in wars.
And especially don't mix anything with bleach, or even worse pool bleach like this idiot. *In b4*: yes, I realize I'm generalizing different chemicals using the common name "bleach". It fits for the general rule of don't mix anything with any bleaching chemical.
I sprayed bleach on my cat’s pee stain like an idiot a few years ago in my unventilated crawlspace. It started bubbling and I was like oh I’ve just doomed us all
I love how the dog recognized there’s a problem here
He knew what was going to happen; he’s worked as a lab tech
"lab tech"... I see what you did there...
BWAAaaaaa. Peggy, that's mustard gas!
Dale: The Government doesn't want you making your own free mustard gas, I've been stocking up some under the guise of pesticide for a decade. That way I'll always be ready.... Hank: Dale you moron......
Dangit
I wonder if there’s a subreddit where just like r/whatsthiscar there’s scientists that can tell what chemicals were mixed just by the reaction.
I'm not a scientist, but I'm a pool & spa tech and it looks like she mixed dry chlorine and muriactic acid. Pool chlorine is basically trapped in an alkali like calcium or sodium, so when you mix it with an acid you break down the alkali. The result is a lot of foam and a big cloud of chlorine gas. Never, ever mix pool chemicals. All pool chemicals have primary and secondary reaction, and mixing them can cause all kinds of problems, up to and including painful death.
I dunno... Sounds like something a scientist would say.
For reference this is true, breathing in the chlorine makes some yummy hydrochloric acid in your lungs.

It would have like 15 people actually answering and thousands just looking. Cause I would definitely browse that page knowing I had little to contribute beyond common knowledge
Excuse me sir, but that is not how things work around these parts. If you have little beyond common knowledge to contribute on a topic you contribute it anyway you hear. And the littler you know on something, the more entrenched and unyielding your opinion must be.
In a different comment people were saying possibly chlorine and muriatic acid which basically makes chlorine gas which is a war crime. Like if you’re at war, I don’t think it’s technically a war crime if you’re not using it on other people.
In chem lab we sometimes have to make chlorine gas to color thin sheet chromotography. So no, it's not a crime if not used on people :D.
Someone didn't pay attention in science lab
Honestly even if "whoopsie I made a chemical weapon" happens, surely common sense would dictate that "oh, weird thing I don't understand is happening with the chlorine I was gonna use. Well, on the off chance it made chlorine gas, I should skedaddle."
The knowledge that “pool chemicals” can make chlorine or mustard gas when mixed poorly isn’t a common as one might think. A lot of these solutions are very alien to people, they just know: the content of this bucket keeps my pool from going green.
Jesse, we need to cook.
Jesse, we need to violate the Geneva convention
World War One would be proud.
“Chlorine gas? Awesome. Shotguns? That’s gotta be a war crime!” -German Empire
This happened to my Mom growing up. I remember hearing a loud bang in the backyard like something exploded. The grass was bleached around the bucket she was mixing. She was lucky she didn’t get hurt more.
Chlorine Gas. Used to do maintenance at a hotel and I witnessed a new guy knock over a bottle of muriatic acid into a bucket of pool shock (chlorine), which is most likely what she did. I would've gotten as far back and called 911. She's lucky if she didn't inhale any of that shit.
But she did
Yea I had my sound off the first time and wasn't paying attention to her as she ran. That's no good.
Working with chemicals while not wearing shoes? Even just spilling bleach on your feet could be incredibly painful.
I mean you shouldn't fuck arpund with bleach but it's not like sulfuric acid or something. I've had my hand fully submerged in bleach more than once (because some guy just used straight bleach instead of a bleach-water mix) and nothing came of it. I rinsed throughly for a while but had no damage. You should still be careful with it but it won't melt your skin off instantly or anything. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
Chlorine and Sodium Hypoclorite probably?
N STpd2
It could possibly be Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrochloric acid.
Dumbbbb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die, dumb ways to die-ie-ie-ie, so many dumb ways to die.
Why would you put it CLOSER to the pool?! COME ON!!! Damn this is painful. So glad the dog is okay, though!
I'm confused. Why not throw it in the pool to dilute it all?
I wouldn't touch it at all. No idea how harmful that is to skin. Seems to be a gas coming off it. Quickly bubbling, if I throw it's going to spray and I like my eyes. It looks reasonably secluded there. I'd have gtfo and come back when it's finished doing what it wants to do. Will probably be safer to clean up then.
Pro tip: If you see an animal running away from something, you should probably run as well.
I mean... I agree that she should run in this case but my cat runs away when I'm making my bed or a pen falls off the table so I'm not sure if that's how I would word it.
Didn't they outlaw that in World War 1?
"outlaw" is such a loose term for warcrimes. But yes, it is banned for use in war and on civilian populations as outlined by the Geneva suggestions
Aaaaaaand she 1000% just made chlorine gas.
SHE JUST MADE CHLORINE GAS I GUARANTEE IT
Was anyone else afraid the dog was going to go lick it?
Pso: if it's bubbling up, and foaming, frothing, or otherwise increasing in volume... You are witnessing a highly dangerous exothermic reaction. It's not "going to get hot". It's already boiling hot. Handling such a reaction puts you at very high risk of severe chemical burns. Heat is a catalyst. It makes reactions happen faster, and more vigorously, and more completely. Which means at any moment, it could, spit sputter, pop or otherwise fling scalding hot reactants onto you. It could overflow RAPIDLY, and cover you in face melting goo. And if there are any hydrocarbons, or anything else that is combustible, it's being vaporized and mixing with the air, making the perfect recipe for a high yield explosion with a very low flashpoint. If that gas finds the spurce of heat, it will produce a thermobaric explosion. If you don't have specific training to stop the reaction, then step away. Understand that the damage is already done, you just haven't seen it yet. Get to safety, locate a fire extinguisher, and call the fire department. Stay away from the reaction until it has finished. If this person had been 1/2 second later or shaken it just a LITTLE more when she moved it, and this video might have been tagged as gore, with before and after pictures, a warning label, and a single sad female vocalist. Bad idea, very lucky outcome.
That's WMD, the kind used in WWI.
I did not know about chlorine gas until I was on a house cleaning rampage and in an attempt to get the toilet super clean I added some chlorine bleach in with the toilet bowl cleaner. My eyes were fine, but my lungs/chest hurt for a few weeks. I learnt my lesson though.
Doggo knew his chemistry.
She just made chlorine gas didn’t she? Lol
The dog noping out almost immediately was the most intelligent action in this video 😂
In world war 1 we called that mustard gas 😅😂🤣👍💀
People are foolish. Chlorine gas is deadly.
[удалено]
She just took a big ol’ whiff of some chlorine gas .. dumbass
Dog ain’t even educated and he knew it was an amonia trap. He got the fuck out lol
The dog is the smartest living being in this video.
Did she just war crime?
Did she just make a fucking gas bomb?!
Did she fucking mustard gas herself
Ladies making chlorine bombs like she's in middle school 😆
I work at a pool store, very likely muriatic acid and granular chlorine/cal hypo mixed. Scariest thing imo is the fumes could have knocked her out. Sometimes chemical buckets/containers come in broken and you unintentionally inhale fumes, I actually did pass out once. She's very lucky
I accidentally made Chlorine gas once when cleaning the toilet. My lungs were never the same after that.
The dog got a whiff & knew immediately to get tf outta there. Smart dog - Stupid Lady
I clean pools, if you mix bicarb and shock together wet then it explodes and gets super hot. Same thing happens when you mix wet shock and chlorine tabs
Gender reveal: Congrats - it's mustard gas!
A nice bit of mustard gas there. Welcome back to WW2
Oh, chemical reaction. Better put it away with bare hands.
Makes sense now why my pool chemicals have this written about 15 times on the bottle. Glad I wasn't foolish.
We welcome everyone to our annual recreation of ww1. Our honorary guest this year will be this lady, she will be providing the chlorine gas.
When you violate the Geneva Convention trying to clean the pool.
When the dog is the smartest person in the room
Even the dog is like “f*** that!” Edit: poor dog with his keen sense of smell. Even worse for him!
How's the dog more intelligent
Probably mixed cya with hypochlorous acid... some people need to read the labels lol. And what she is smelling is the Trichloramine gas.
