Like most of us, I tend to multi-task. Especially now, with a baby, when it seems like there are always two things I need to do at once.
I'm no longer opposed to brushing my teeth in the shower. And while I still don't like sharing a toothbrush, it's not as horrifying anymore. I mean, I let a kid who has his hands all over the floor stick his fingers in my mouth.If that's not a way to get trenchmouth, I don't know what is.
Anyway. So I dry my hair, and I have the urge to pee...and then I think, well, that's a great way to electrocute yourself, vagina first.
Or is it? I mean, the electricity wouldn't be touching the water, right?
Or would it conduct, because the pee connects to you, and you're holding the hair dryer?
Also, taking a shower during a lightening storm. Certain death or myth?
I put on my makeup while I pee. Much less dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the shower thing is a myth, but I get nervous every time I shower during a storm anyway. Especially since we have no windows in our bathroom, so if the power goes out, OMG TINY WATER STALL OF DARKNESS AND DOOM.
"Anyway. So I dry my hair, and I have the urge to pee...and then I think, well, that's a great way to electrocute yourself, vagina first."
ReplyDeleteYou blow dry your pubic hair? How... fancy.
Lisa - Definitely a more reasonable multi-tasking choice.
ReplyDeleteAnd tiny water stall of darkness and doom would deter me for sure.
lacochran - Only when my merkin is at the drycleaner.
Myth. I think. Although I have a co-worker who swears her aunt was electrocuted for watching TV during a storm.
ReplyDeleteUnless you somehow pee on the dryer, drying your hair while you pee should be perfectly safe. The shower is dangerous because the dryer might get wet. A wet dryer is likely to short out and be a fire and/or electricution hazard.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the last picture.
Also, also, *hugs*. :-)
Hahahaha! Your drawings never get old :)
ReplyDeleteOH! I just did a thing on showering during a lightning storm and, much to my chagrin [because I totally thought my mom was just making shit up] IT IS TRUE. SCIENCE!
ReplyDeleteMythbusters said you would have to be standing really close to an electric fence to get electrocuted by peeing on it. I think the same principle applies to drying your hair on the toilet. Just don't fall in!
ReplyDelete(Yes, I am that much of a nerd.)
I saw the Mythbusters thing, too--they also did a test of the "death by peeing on the third rail" myth, and it's not possible. So I don't think it'd be possible for you to electrocute yourself with the hairdryer whilst peeing. Unless you dropped the hair dryer in the toilet... that would be bad.
ReplyDeleteAfter a few years, you won't have to multitask quite as much, and you'll look back and wonder how you ever got anything done. :)
Be careful out there!
I nearly pee'd myself laughing at the exchange between you and Lacochran's evil twin. I get the giggles everytime mirkhen comes into a conversation lol not that it does come up very often.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I'm afraid to experiment. Last time I messed with electricity, I electrocuted myself. Twice.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! You're too funny!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe have no bathroom counter. None. Our bathroom is teeny tiny and what little area we have above the cabinet is taken up by the stupid-ass trendy bowl sink that Shawn insisted we have (no really, when buying our condo, Shawn's only deal breaker was that it must have a giant bowl sink in the bathroom.)So when I blow dry my hair and I need to readjust the brush, I put the blow drier down in the sink. Which is usually fine. Except for last night when I put the drier down and the sink had enough water in it to make some snappy sounds and then the blow drier started smoking and I died a little. I really liked that blow drier. I guess what I'm saying is that if you like your blow drier, don't use it while you pee.
ReplyDeletei love when you do the drawings!
ReplyDeletebyride sat on my lap while i dried my hair yesterday.
Multi-task away! It's not possible to electrocute yourself peeing and blowing drying simultaneously, unless you fall in. The shower thing is possible, so please don't. Unlikely, but possible.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures :)
