The Most Mis-Used Products

Like it says, products that are misused (as opposed to their intended purpose).

I'll start:

Tennis shoes
Screwdrivers
Pocket knives

pesticides and herbicides. Almost without exception and without playing the organic card.

It is a federal offense to misuse either. A big example is Round-up. As soon as the dandelions come out people spray that shit all over the lawn. Dandelions don't pick up any nutrients or pesticides when they are flowering, they use up what was stored the previous late summer and fall. That is when you apply roundup.

I love a yard full of dandelions. Yes I know they're weeds and stuff. Not like the front yard all full of weeds...I get that issue, but a piece of land where the dandelions take over, way in the back. I think they're so pretty.

Q-Tips. It says right on the package that they are for makeup application only, and definitely not to ever stick one in your ear. Yeah, sure.

My ear holes are about the only places Qtips ever go. We call them cotton buds over here. Not to be confused with cotton balls which are used to apply stuff like antiseptic to wounds or remove nail polish.

We all talked one time about the 'eargasm' when you get out of the shower and use a q tip in your ear. The wax is all melty and it feels so good to scratch the inside of your ear with that cotton and paper goddess the Q tip.

Yeah, I have those most days.

I'm always sticking them in my ears because I get psoriasis in my ear canal, so after a shower, or sometimes just after I get out of bed is when it happens. They get so itchy.

eta: I think for me, it's probably like when you scratch your pet on just that special spot that sends them into a frenzy of one legged scratching with no real purpose.

sometimes I have to concentrate really hard to keep my leg still...

Duct tape. Less than 1% is used on ducts.

Nitrous Oxide bulbs for, ahem, making whipped cream. Years ago I read they are among the top 20 selling items from Australian supermarkets and the amount sold is enough to whip all the cream sold in Australia many times over.

Likewise, sales of tobacco rolling papers greatly exceed sales of loose tobacco. Can't imagine why.
