TIFU by using the shampoo of hell. I was asked by my sister to watch her and her husband’s house and cat while they are out of town for two weeks, and I was like “hell yeah, I get away from people for two weeks?!” (I have roommates) so, I pack my bags and head over. I get over there, settle in, and decide to have a shower before I go to bed. I dig in my suitcase, get my hairbrush, tooth brush, toothpaste… and where is my shampoo? Fuck. So I decide to check if my sister or brother in law left any shampoo in the shower, and they did! So I fire up the shower and hop in. I grab the shampoo bottle, get a good dollop, and lather it in. Fucking hell was that a mistake. Immediately I was overwhelmed with the scent of some infernal chemical concoction from the depths of Satan’s domain. It smelled like I had doused myself in gasoline and then rolled in a construction zone. I scrubbed and scrubbed my scalp trying to rid myself of the stench of the devil’s asshole, and IT WOULD NOT LEAVE. I grab the bottle thinking I must have grabbed some sort of cleaning agent by mistake. It was coal tar shampoo, for dandruff prone scalps. I am now left smelling like the late 1800’s, early 1900’s factory worker, and will remain as such until I can go retrieve my shampoo.
TL;DR: I accidentally used Dandruff control shampoo that smells like an industrial zone, and the smell is lingering.
