I drank my paint brush water!

[MANIMAL!]

I've been putting some glow-in-the-dark paint coats on a custom, and had some water sitting in a plastic cup. When I started drinking from my water glass, I realized it was the brush cup! I only used it once, this time, and that was an hour ago. Will I die? Will I explode?! AHHHHHHH!!!!

[DavidC]

Was it acrylic paint? Almost all of those are non-toxic. Even *if* it has something nasty in it, your dosage would be very low after 1 sip. I've done it, I once washed a brush loaded with Citadel paint in my coffee cup. Yuk! one sip was enough!

[MikeysGrrrl]

  Far too funny

You'll surely live to make that mistake yet again sometime down the road

[Bergamot]

Don't panic.

Find your towel.

You'll be okay; I haven't exploded yet and heaven knows that I've drank my share of paint water. 

[RainbowRay]

I've drank paint water plenty of times, it's nothing to worry about!
I also used to eat glitter paint when I was very young (apparently it tasted good...) so my insides are probably glittery. Maybe yours will glow in the dark now!

[Marigold]

Was it good? 

[NovelNerd]

Yes your time is coming to an end. Stay away from fire you will burst into flames.

[An-Gel Sakura]

I thought I was the only one who did that.
Glad I'm not the only absent minded painter here.

[MANIMAL!]

Was it good? 

Haha, no, there was so little paint in it, it wasn't even cloudy. I'm only painting the horn right now, so hadn't gone very far.

Yeah, it was acrylic paint. I wasn't really worried, but when I realized what I was doing, I stopped swallowing and let it all fall out of my mouth on the table in horror :p

[rybett]

Thanks you so much for this!!  Now giggling at the thought of GITD "by products".

[Thrice]

LOL, you'll be fine. Plus you'll get a good story out of it.

That's hilarious!  I have done that before when discovering I was eating something awful.  Like chocolate covered in tiny moving bugs. No idea what they were.  They looked like shaved off chocolate flakes (whitish) and were super tiny.  Horror!

Oh, god--you win this round! That's so gross!

[Marigold]

Lol!  This needs to turn into a "what I ate and didn't want to" thread.

The bugs, by the way, didn't taste like anything.

ive done that before,  and sadly its not the worst thing ive drank

i had a bad habit of laving cups of drink around the place and comming back to them MUCH latter.

one time i drank a cup of coffee that as a day old and sitting out on the bench
another time i drank a cup of water that had previously been used to thaw out  food for one of my pet snakes.

needless to say  i havent left a cup of drink out since then ,
