Only an LHCer...

[Runzel]

...would do what I just did!

While applying a *little* jojoba oil to me hair, I accidentally knocked over the open bottle, spilling it all over the counterop.

Within seconds it would drip onto the floor and into other things I had on the counter.

I had only a moment to act.

What did I do? Grab a nearby towel? Clean it up with rags and soap?

No...my immediate instictive reaction was to mop it up with my hair! :ponder: The funniest thing is that it didn't occur to me that my response was abnormal until afterwards.

Yup, I'm an LHCer alright. :graduate:

[nowxisxforever]

lol woot! :)

[Magicknthenight]

Ha! That's a nice first reaction!
Well at least its not going to waste :P
spilling oil is no fun e_e

[Zindell]

Hahaa! Hilarious! :D

[Elvi]

Wow, jojoba oil is precious and not to be wasted. I began to think of Mary Magdalene from the Bible, pouring precious oil and mopping Jesus´feet with her long hair. :pray:

I thought of that too! Love the story. :)

[BlackfootHair]

I did something similar. I was squeezing a bottle of oil to smell it, and blurp! A bunch of oil came spilling over the edges....so I squeegeed up the side of the bottle with my hands and started smearing it in my hair. (my hair isn't long enough to pull too far out in front of me yet.)

Yay for oily hair! :)

[Silver & Gold]

Thank goodness you had the presence of mind to save the oil!

[Carolyn]

I've done that too several times. It would be a shame to waste good oil :p

[Alia]

OMG, the visual! Uh-oh! Mop, mop, mop! :lol:

[Peter]

That's awesome! :laugh:

[ambychelle]

awww.. too cute!

[3azza]

i've done that too

[Konstifik]

Save the oil! At all costs! :D

[lora410]

LMAO I have so done this before.

[SpinDance]

I thought you were going to say you wiped up with your hands and immediately put it on your hair, because I think that's what I would have done! Too funny! No sense wasting perfectly good oil!

[Xandergrammy]

I think that might have been my reaction, too!!! Good job!

[linda g]

:laugh: what a mental picture!

[MandaMom2Three]

Thou hast annointed thy counter with oil :lol: . My counter is jealous now.

[halo_tightens]

Good job!! Glad to hear the oil still went to good use.:cheese:

I've used my hair before when my fingers can't reach all the way into the bottom of the container of SMT/henna/conditioner/whatever! Just stuff the ends down in there, twirl, and the container is empty. :D

[marikamt]

too funny!!!!!! That is great...

[Runzel]

Haha, that's a good one! :lol:

[burns_erin]

I do not think I have ever done wuite that, but I freely admit to cleaning out the bowl from my hair treats with my sisters ends (Her scalp is different from mine so she can not always do full head treatments of what I use but her ends are good to go). You know, this does not seem nearly so creepy when done in the privacy of my own home as I think it sounds writing it here. C'est la vie

[natt i nord]

We once did experiments with salad oil in a lesson. Well, I had my fingers completely oily - what did little natt?

She didn't went to wash her fingers, but rubbed her fingers in her hair to get rid of the oil :D

[Rentlle]

hahahaha XD
that's so funny XD

[pluto_crna]

you just made my day :D

[Tornerose]

Haha that' some quick thinking.

I think I would have done the same if my hair wasn't freshly washed or I had somewhere to be.

[Little_Bird]

That's a great story to tell! But I see it's not that unusual ;) I don't know if i would have done that as a first instinct, but it's a great idea!

[little_acorn]

Wooot true LHCer

[KarpatiiSiv]

http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage08/8.gif Glad to hear the oil didn't go to waste!:) Definitely a LHCer reaction.:D

Oh me too, that's such a lovely scene :)

Runzel that just cracked me up a little bit, a true LHCer indeed!:cheese:

[Merewen]

:agree: Indeed. Hair is wonderful for cleaning up spilled oil/sopping out bowls of various types of deep treatment goo.

[Fiferstone]

My coconut oil container "weeps" coconut oil from its lid onto my shelf in my bathroom cupboard.

I of course mop it up with the ends of my hair.

That's not wierd at all...

...is it?

Apparenetly it isn't weird around here! :lol:

Thanks for laughing with me, everyone! :D

[Nacaya]

I read this story and thought 'mop it with your hair!' before I read that you cleaned it up like that :D

[misstwist]

I bought some Vatika oil yesterday and thought it was refined coconut oil because it was liquid.

It must have been warmer than I thought yesterday cause when I went to squeeze some out this morning I blurbed out the squeeze top with semi-solid coconut oil mixture. Lots of it on my hand and the sink.

Soo--impromptu deep treatment. Tomorrow is wash day.

I bet they don't have to worry about coconut oil getting solid in the UAE. :D

[deko]

Waist not, want not? :cheese:

Great idea, I always like to get the last drop also.

[vindo]

When I cook and get olive oil on my hands I rub it in instead of washing it off..massage it into my nails.
Guess thats close ;)

[RedJen]

LOL-- I started reading your story aloud to my son and he totally guessed the ending! Such an LHC thing to do! (It's exactly what I would have done!)

[adiapalic]

Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss....:laugh: that stuff is expensive!

Guess you made as much use of what was there--I might have done the same damn thing! I saw a teeny bottle of that stuff at Whole Foods today, and it was ridiculously expensive. (I think Whole Foods just jacked up the price though).

[Sister13]

Oh, no! Great save. Your tresses proly loved your accident & quick thinking. :-)

[Taika]

I probably would have taken it to my hands and put on all over my body... since I do not have hair longenough for the save you did... but good thinking!! :)

[atina]

good move :) shame to waste it

[penny1971]

well saved!

[rchorr]

ROTFLMAO! I did that with olive oil! I'm so glad I'm not alone! Hee, hee, hee. :p My husband is used to this weirdness. And my kids think this is "normal." LOL!
