After reading AggieChemist's post/article , one line in it got me thinking:
this got me thinking about another good share and tell topic.
What are some times where you did something that you knew better and it came back to bite you (or should have? Rookie mistakes, if you will, long after graduating from rookie status.
One of mine that came to mind was the last time I got poison Ivy. Spent all day traipsing around the woods. Knew I likely came in contact with poison ivy at some point so upon getting home, immediately dropped all my clothes and took a shower to get any oil off. because i knew better. then after showering i stupidly scooped all my clothes up and carried them out and dumped them in the wash...... one of my worst bouts with poison Ivy to date. wish I had at least gotten dressed before picking up those clothes......

I've been around enough to have accumulated a basic understanding of most of these ailments, a fact that my wife, Katie, used against me when I contracted trichinosis. "You should be embarrassed," she said. "I mean, you know about this kind of stuff!" She raised a valid point, which is perhaps the funniestor maybe the saddestpart of all this: I'd learned about every one of the diseases that I recently caught well in advance of catching them.
