i can watch surgeries and people having babies and not feel the least bit squeamish.
i watch all the medical/crime scene investigation shows i can and i don't think dead bodies are gross.
i love working on cadavers.
i'm a phlebotomist.
but i do have a gag reflex. for one thing.
hair.
[ironic i know since i pretty much am a blond Pocahontas.... aka i have long hair]
our shower has not been draining for like a week, and i had to constantly be cleaning up [other people's] hair from the drain. gross. i cannot stand that. this morning i had had enough and decided that the shower needed fixing. the scum from no draining was everywhere and i didn't even feel like i was getting clean. reference point: i felt cleaner after showering the cold, sketchy ugandan shower than in this shower! [ps i know this hair was not mine because it was not blonde! plus i only wash my hair twice a week so the chances of it being down the actual drain- when i always clean it from the drain trap- are slim to zero.]
after calling my dad, i went to work.
the first batch of nasty hair |
batch #2 |
this is my gagging face- minus the nasty gagging noises i was making |
the tools of my "trade"- don't worry i definitely sterilized those tweezers! |
oh look what i found in the cupboard. this worked after i got out all the hair i could reach. |
then i scrubbed down the bath tub with shower cleaner and baking soda so that it was sparkling white |
i still hate hair, but now i know that i can clean a shower drain.
but really.... please bless i have seven sons and maybe one girl. less hair= happy me.
I can't handle hair either- even when it is mine. My poor husband, haha, he's a good sport about cleaning the drains.
