Life Lesson 01: Don't leave body spray in your car.

[Sephiroth]

I'm a college student who has a few hours between classes, no point in going home so I walk around campus. I get sweaty, so I keep some body spray in my passenger seat so I don't offend anyone with B.O. I also keep a notebook in the seat. THis is what I opened my car door to this afternoon

the culprit?

luckilly the only damage was to the notebook and now I need a new can of body spray, which will come in with my textbooks.

On the plus side, I bet your car smells really nice now.

 

[Sephiroth]

>.>...yes it does.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Was it a hot day?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

"No, a dog didn't eat my homework, an aerosol can blew it up!".

 

[Pavonis]

Yeah, I could've warned you that would happen.

 

[scotpens]

What is this "body spray" of which you speak? What ever happened to good old-fashioned deodorant?

 

[Sephiroth]

you ever try using stick deodorant in an 02 camaro? besides, I don't just sweat from my pits.

That's hilarious. It reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a kid. I always used to bring six-packs of Pepsi to work with me to have with lunch. One Winter day, I bought a six-pack and decided to just leave it on the front seat of my car since I was bringing it to work in the morning. It got very cold overnight. The next morning, I schlepped sleepily out to the vehicle, plopped into the driver's seat and had a momentary freak out at the monster in the passenger seat-- a strange, brown sculpture like some alien crystalline creature. The entire six-pack had exploded and frozen. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it.

I'm pretty sure Mythbusters proved that this doesnt happen. ?

^nah. It's pretty common here in the southwest. Temperatures inside cars here regularly reach 140F.

 

[auntiehill]

Considering we're expecting temps in the 100s here this week, I imagine anything left exposed in a hot car can explode, melt, or you know, DIE.

 

[MacLeod]

Surely the Life Lessons mentioned here are "Don't live in climates that are too hot or cold."

 

[CorporalClegg]

To be fair, the temperature in Albuquerque has been about 15F above normal for most of the summer.

And, if you look at the picture, the can didn't explode. The top nozzle part popped off, due to pressure. It didn't so much explode as open up. So poorly-made can + intense heat can indeed lead to a very messy car.

I was reading your textbook instead.

What class are you taking?

And DAMN YOU FOR STILL BEING IN COLLEGE. I wish I was still in college.

 

[Sephiroth]

this semester? Electrical Math, Electrical Theory, and IT101, I went light this semester because the last one I did 4 8 week classes that basically had me on campus from 9 to 7:30 Monday through Thursday for 2 months, but on the good side I got Advanced Algebra, Macroeconomics, Advanced Writing and a Psychocology for non-majors class take care of

You can always go back.

Too bad you're not taking Thermodynamics. Your destroyed homework would have become a "project."

^I'm just glad that it didn't happen while I was driving
