Note to Self: When mashing that button on top to begin to spray paint, point that hole AWAY from your face and designer eyeglasses. Geeze Louise. I get so tired of being the entertainment everywhere I go. It slap wears me out. Luckily I had not shaken the new can enough and all that came out was clear goo. It took some scrubbin'...but it all came off of my glasses. (loud exhale with puffed out cheeks)
O is for OOPS!...

So glad you're no worse for the experience. It sounds like we have the same problems...thank goodness we can laugh at ourselves as well as at each other! :)
lol, been there done that!
Next time try rubbing alcohol and/or a cut potato...
I've done this before. Our last house I spray painted right outside the door so I could hear my newborn son if he cried. I cried when I realized our green (ugh) house had a big pink patch. Atleast you had your glasses on to protect your eyes.
I am so glad that I'm not the only one who does things like that! I just love to use spray paint on anything I can get my hands on. Yesterday, even though it was quite windy here, I was bound and determined to spray a tall metal arch that I have in one of my flower gardens. Well, I should have waited for a calmer day! The arch turned out fine, but the wind changed and I got a fine mist in my contacts! Luckily they weren't a new pair!
You mean I'm not the only one who does that??!! LOL
*hugs*deb
Oh my TEEE HEEEE, I can totally see myself doing this and you made me chuckle!
Hugs,
Olivia
Love this...and don't put it past any of us! :) -shaunna
Oh dear, I am great for doing that sort of thing too....why do we always think of a better way after it's done!!! LOL, you aren't alone!
Hugs,

Such a funny story- I'm glad it has a happy ending! Lesson learned!

Yip, did it the other day while spray painting a glider with RED. Fortunately, it went to the side of my face. lol

I am also guilty of doing this then I had to look around and make sure no neighbors saw me! Mine was black spray paint.
Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!
And I thought I was the only one who did these kinds of things!
Thanks so much for the sweetest comments on my blog and for joining as a follower. I could use all the friends I could get in this new, exciting, and scary world of blogging!

OH I AM SO NOT THINKING THIS WAS FUNNY, BUT HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I AM LAUGHING. JUST SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU WERE ABLE TO CLEAN YOURSELF UP, CHAR
We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you! ;-) That sounds like something I'd do!!
Nancy
Haha! I've done that; get so excited to get going on the project and SURPRISE. Sorry that happened. Did you get back to your project?
Hahahahahahaha! OK, now I have never squirted myself with spray paint, but I have sprayed hair spray under my arms, squeezed hand cream on my toothbrush, and other similar disasters.
Thanks for signing up to follow
That Old House. don't look behind you -- I'm following YOU. :-)

Hey! I'm your 500th Follower!
Woo hoo. Cass
I can relate. It gets so frustrating having to slow down and make sure everything is lined up correctly when we're in a hurry to get started on our creativity. I'm glad you're ok :)
Thank's for your visit today. Hope you have a better day...Julian
Oh man!!! At least you had the glasses on. have to lol.
Yeah, I have that T-shirt too.
At least it was paint and not spray adhesive. I nearly covered myself in the stuff last night! SO CLOSE!
Thank goodness you had glasses on and it didn't get in your eyes. Happy you were able to get the stuff off your glasses.
Wow, Mary Beth...I thought that was my trick! lol
Ok, I got one better. I was about 15 and I should have known better but I still did it. I was trying to fix a spray can with a hammer. Yep face full of spray paint, not good at all. I know I had to do a lot of scrubbing. I came to thank you for visiting my garden white. Happy painting.
If you hadn't had your glasses on it could have been a lot worse and very painful.
Glad you scrubbed up o.k.
~Maggie~
so funny - so glad you didn't blind yourself :D
FabulOussssss pOst!
HOpe yOu're having a fabulOussss day tOO!
xOxO LOLA:)

So funny because if it hasn't happened to us already it could any day. I have a friend who has a saying "If I don't like it, I just spray paint it!" Words to live by.
Love your Mother's day gift idea!

Hi Mary Beth,

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower as well. It's always so lovely to meet new friends!
Have a great day.
Sincerely,

You are SO lucky you had your glasses on! I'm glad you are okay. Now I can laugh!

Janie
well i guess it is a good thing that you were wearing glasses ... at least your eyes were saved!
Thankfully it did come out and I'm sorry, but it also made me laugh :):)
Funny thing is, I have been using a white can of spray paint today too. I enjoy your blog.
Hey sweetie, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you! And your darling style of writing! I haven't done this trick yet, but just give me time.
hugs
Never done it with paint but have done it with perfume!REally great post!
OH NO!!! Believe me, I am laughing with you - not at you!.....but thank you, I needed this laugh!
Oh! My! This is aweful.
Okay since everyone else is laughing WITH you , I am lauging AT you!! Just kidding. lol. That sounds like something that would happen to me! I am glad all turned out well!!
Hugs~
well I will make sure I do!! that is a lesson learnt for sure (cant help but giggle at the mental picture though sorry!)
alicia :0)
SO glad I found your blog - and glad to hear I'm not alone in things like this. I grabbed a can from a special spot in the pantry last week, that I thought was basting spray. 'Twas cooking spray - thank goodness it only hit the batting and not the fabric underneath, before I realized.
Tanya
What a totally adorable stop on the Alphabe-Thursday "O" train!
You just made me laugh.
Especially after I was cooking dinner and instead of reaching for the Pam sprayed the inside of my skillet with window cleaner.
Sigh.
One of those days.
Thanks for making the Letter "O" so fun and thanks for joining us!
A+
Mary Beth, could you please let me know, did the package arrive???Lori
Glad to know I'm not the only one this kind of stuff happens to!
Ohhhh I do like this! Life is so much more fun when it happens to everyone!!
Funny! Do you remember spray deodorant? I picked that up a couple of times over the years when not paying attention instead of hair spray. Thank goodness for solid deodorant because my eyes are certainly not getting any better!
OMG! That is something I would do! I'm so glad I read this post before taking on any spray painting projects, so I have been warned!
I do this Almost EVERY DAY...
but with hairspray of course;]
Follow FRIDAY :)
