sscotty727 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Lastnight, I was trying to glue a bracelet for my daughter when I accidentally super glued my fingers on my right hand into an OK sign. I had to soak my fingers in nail polish remover for 10mins before they would unstick. That made me think back to my worst time. I knocked a bottle of super glue over and unknowingly stepped in the glue. I didn't know until I went to stand and found my foot glued to the floor. My wife had to soak the floor with remover until I could unstick it (fortunately or unfortunately for some, I wasn't wearing my heels at the time). Can others relate their most embarrassing moments with the powerful glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykev64 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i have never had a bad moment with super glue before but not long after it came on the market when i was still in school, it was not unknown for some boys to creep in to the girls toilets and put it around the rim of the toilet seat. i can remember 3 or 4 incidents of girls being lead out of the toilet wrapped in a large blanket with a toilet seat firmly stuck to thier arse to be carted off to hospital so they can have it surgically removed. now thats what you call embarresed. it was not long after that a rule was brought out that if you even got caught in possesion of super glue you got suspended for the term:blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they caught the guy putting super glue on the seat. That reminded me of a court case my dad had to serve jury duty on. Apparently some guy was cheating on his wife and she decided to get even and put super glue in his underpants. You can guess the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 When I was a little kid (maybe 5 years old) I can remember my mum superglueing her fingers to my Goofy and Mickey felt mobile when it was still hanging from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClosetHeels Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 When I was in High School, I had an English teacher that was very pretty, and she loved to wear fashion jumpsuits to school. One day when she was in class, she sat down in her chair, and someone had put super glue on the seat and the arms of her chair. She could not get up, or move her arms. They had to cut her out of the jumpsuit, and escort her home. They never caught who did it. They searched everyones lockers and backpacks, and no one had any super glue on them. It was funny at the time, but looking back, they ruined a beautiful jumpsuit and upset a very special teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have been very careful while using super-glue. I Have been using it to make models since it first came out. You must keep your fingers super clean of the glue or you can transfer glue fingerprints to the model that you are assembling. I know that that isn't as serious as glueing your fingers together but can ruin a perfectly good model that you are assembling especially if it is in placing the final details. You must be overly cautious to keep your hands clean of the glue, glue tube, and the cap to the tube. Using super-glue to build models take less time to assemble if you are using a catalist called "zip kicker" which hardens the glue instantly so you must be careful to have your parts in their final position before using the "zip kicker". They are available in your hobby shops and I use them all of the time down at the Science Center when I assemble models. You can't be in a hurry when using these products and must be perfectly relaxed and take your time when doing so. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

Eggnog Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 never had a moment with superglue. But I had a teacher accidentally hot glue my watch to my arm. I was holding something still for her when I sneezed. The hot glue gun attached the watch to my arm and the teacher panicked badly. She rushed me to the school nurse who removed the glue with an ice cube and a toothpick. I've still got the scar! I can laugh about it now. But at the time it hurt.

Dawn HH Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 In first grade while wearing a shirt with starched cuffs, another first grader put a hole through my shirt cuff and my arm with a freshly sharpened pencil in dagger-like fashion. I still wear the lead mark in my wrist to this day where the point of the pencil broke off. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers--- Dawn HH Gee Dawn, after all these years you've never thought to make a deal with the pencil manufacturer for an advertising fee. After all, wearing evidence of their product in plain view these days will net the wearer a pretty penny. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

Dawn HH Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Bubba136:-) My mind doesn't seem to run on those rails. Maybe that is the reason that I'm not a rich man wearing heels, but the evidence is still clearly in my right wrist. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
