A bookstore where I worked had a little tiny restroom, and not having one of their own, the women from an adjacent clothing store used our toilet.

One of the women would befoul it, then splash way too much perfume around to mask the odor.

Eyes watered. Barf reflex activated.

I had to stop brushing my teeth in the shower.

You ever get toothpaste on your scrotum?

No bueno.

Seriously, it burns like hell.

Unless it just does that on my particular scrotum.

and it ran down my stomach.

Then my scrotum was on fire!

I'm not kidding!

It was Crest toothpaste.

Fuck Crest.

I thought I had a good thing going there.

You know, brushing my teeth while showering.

I gave up shaving while showering too.

That was a fucking disaster.

Maybe the mildly anesthetic quality deadens the pain.

I'm getting set for a shower, shave, and toothbrushing event after lunch. I'll let you what happens.

I've done a lot of odd, experimental things in the name of scientific understanding, mostly as a teenager.

Yes, it burned for a bit. Also, I'm not thrilled with the hairs in my toothbrush.

All mine fell out when I turned 60.

Do it with Crest toothpaste next time.

You'll REALLY feel the burn!

Would make dreadful noises and pound the sides of the restroom and then burst through the door.
Using the men's room at our family grocery store. Lol
