Just finished up in my shed, came in and washed my hands over the sink which contained my favorite coffee mug, washed mug as well and had my coffee, it’s tastes of petrol.

Lord tests me.

    Protip: When washing your hands, start with wetting them first, then add soap, as opposed to adding soap, then water. Also, turn off the tap whilst you’re rubbing your hands with soap.

    Also, petrol? WTF?

      Shed also could be what Americans would call a garage. But I keep all our carb-fed motors in an actual shed shed, so who knows?

      Also dish soap works best for petroleum product removal from skin. Orange cleaner is ok too, and pumice base md cleaners only work on dry hands. Wetting them first causes the pumice to rinse away too fast.
