What Dummy Puts Gorilla Glue On Their Hair?

[Anonymous]

I'm 2 years away from kicking in the door of 40, and I'd like to think in my 38 years of life on this planet, that I have plenty of common sense to realize that for instance, eating a Tide Pod meant to chemically clean my laundry is a terrible idea, or dousing myself in an accelerant and lighting my body on fire...for a video...might possibly kill me. I don't need instruction or warning for this, because again, common sense.

We unfortunately don't all share in this sentiment.

Case in point, some random internet person (because stories that start that way ALWAYS end well) decided that instead of the glue which one can buy for the purposes of gluing down and securing a wig temporarily to ones head, she would instead just trot on over to her trusty can of Gorilla Glue Spray and give that a whiz all over her scalp. In case you are unaware of this product, it is a super glue. It is not cleverly disguised with a pair of glasses like Superman where it could fool any one of us, but rather a bright orange bottle that let's you know on the cover that this is meant to secure say concrete to a sidewalk. At 40, Tessica Brown thought this was a great idea...at 40!

So apparently an entire month later, the wig hair and her actual hair were still cemented together to her scalp. She showed herself in an angsty video applying shampoo, and the shampoo just wiped off like Windex to a mirror. She even took her nails to the hair as one would do while washing their scalp, and NOTHING was moving. It's actually horrifying to see and think that that has been that way for a month.

So after of course sharing this video with the world, she admittedly embarrassed, decided to go to the ER. The ER actually gave her acetone, as in the stuff used to get nail polish off ones nails, to apply to her scalp to try to loosen the stuff, and they told her we can help you but it will take a good 20 hours or so to soak in this stuff and they can hopefully get it off, and she said....NOPE....and went home with a care package of acetone and her helmet hair still firmly solidified so she could then of course, go home and film a reaction video recounting her tale and a follow up of her sister STILL trying to get the stuff out of her hair.

And the dumb, get dumber....so in her continued clear brilliance, she thinks to herself, maybe she should sue the Gorilla Glue company, who at this point is getting great free press because their product clearly works on people too. Apparently she wants compensation and the world to know that products found in a hardware store are not suitable for use on one's body even though the product already says that but just for her own knowledge the company issued a statement repeating LOUDLY so the dumb people in the back could hear, that their product is meant for crafts, home and auto, office, and wood like it says on their damn can and not for skin, eyes, or clothing.They also added that she should STICK to using products meant for her hair (they didn't actually say that last part, but there are so many great puns they should use in court if it gets that far).

In case you're wondering, and I knew you were, she has a Go Fund Me which as I type has raised around $13,000. Twenty-seven plus donors would rather fund this woman than say a child starving of hunger, or buy PPE for front line workers, or save for their own future during this pandemic.

I.

Can't.

Even.

Any one who does this to themselves has a complete lack of common sense, as Gorilla Glue is Polyurethane based she turned her hair into the functional equivalent of fibre glass!! What did she expect would happen?
And now she is wanting to sue the maker of the glue because there was no warning not to be used on hair, where most people would not have even thought of using it in such a fashion as there is a big black toxic material symbol on the bottle and warnings not to get it on your skin, but that is not the worst of it as those that have contributed to her Gofundme must have even less sense than she has!!

[myTake Owner]

I tried to be an understanding person about this for all of about a minute but this is equivalent to saying ran out of mouthwash but like I have a bottle of bleach, probably the same thing. I can't abide by that. This was not a hair care product and was fully labeled so to even think about suing is ridiculous. And 27 people right behind her continuing to enable her.

[udon1knowm3]

She isn't going to sue them. She has said that multiple times and wasn't even the person who first said that.

[John_Doesnt]

This is the best advertising Gorilla Glue could ever ask for. After a month of hot water, soap, chemicals and home remedies the Gorilla Glue is still holding strong. That stuff is clearly awesome.
Those eyelashes, I thought she sprayed some in her eyes too. It's pretty sad that the surgeon actually paid to fix it for her for free. A bunch of people have actual medical problems that cost a lot of money, but this dumb chick gets free surgery.

[myTake Owner]

This is the part that drives me nuts. She's now got 20K, is still stupid, and the problem fixed for free...meanwhile people needing say organ transplants or in desperate need for surgeries for debilitating conditions but can't afford them, are dying because they don't have money.

[SomeBlondeChick]

What's frightening is the idea at 40 Tessica Brown's likely had kids. And they're more than likely as stupid as their mother or possibly even denser.

What's even more frightening is on a website that praised the surgeon for helping her there's someone who says and I quote "And I hope he sells that idea because really - she cannot have been the only one and she may not have been the last one".
Seriously? This is a new level of stupidity so the idea there's more is horrifying. (website - https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/free-at-last-tessica-brown-s-gorilla-glued-hairdo-fina-1846249132 )

[myTake Owner]

She has 6 of them....and like it makes you wonder if we should be worried about their care.

[douride2]

It is difficult to believe someone would actually do this. What is even dumber in my opinion is all the people donating to her go fund me. What is this world coming to when you have to put warnings on such things as a cup of coffee telling people the contents may be hot.

[myTake Owner]

Funny you mention that case. That 79 year old who won her lawsuit for hot coffee did so because McDonalds WAS actually brewing their coffee to medically scalding conditions. They have a manual that lists the highest temp they can brew it, and they were going well beyond that to the point where when the coffee spilled on the ladies lap, it did cause actual 3rd degree burns which she needed skin grafts for. Regular hot coffee is going to obviously be hot, and maybe make your skin red, but not cause you to get skin grafts from a small spill. To add to that the company had been notified of several previous incidences of the scalding coffee and done nothing and when you do nothing to rectify a situation you knew about that your own manual stated was dangerous, you lose a lawsuit.

You'd be surprised.

the US Military was defeated in Vietnam & left with their tail tucked between their legs.


A strategic victory is a victory that brings long-term advantage to the victor and disturbs the enemy's ability to wage a war. When a historian speaks of a victory in general, they are usually referring to a strategic victor.
Examples:

•Battle of Antietam, American Civil War: The battle itself was a tactical draw, as the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee was forced to end its incursion into the North while the Union Army of the Potomac under George B. McClellan was unable to capitalize on its numerical advantage to destroy the Confederate army outright before the latter retreated back to Virginia. However, the battle provided an opportunity for President of the United States Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which prominently tied the issue of slavery to the war itself and made the prospect of British or French intervention in favor of the Confederacy much more remote as neither government could be seen as openly supporting a practice that both countries had themselves banned for years.

•First Battle of the Marne, World War I: The Allied victory managed to stop the German advance towards Paris at the city's eastern outskirts and ended prospects for a quick defeat of France in the Western Front, resulting in the frustration of the German Schlieffen Plan and leading to the two-front war the Plan had sought to avoid.

•Battle of Moscow, World War II: The successful Soviet defence of its capital.

•Battle of the Coral Sea, World War II: Though the Imperial Japanese Navy sank more Allied naval vessels in the battle than they lost, the planned Japanese invasion of Port Moresby in New Guinea and Tulagi in the southeastern Solomon Islands was checked and the unavailability of two fleet carriers (thanks to this battle) that could have otherwise been used by the IJN at the Battle of Midway a month later contributed to the US' decisive victory in the latter, marking the high point of the extent of the Japanese Empire after which Japan would gradually retreat.

•Tet Offensive, Vietnam War: Though the United States and South Vietnam recorded tactical victories as they were eventually able to repulse all of the Viet Cong's attacks during the offensive, the high-profile attacks greatly damaged the perception in the United States that the communists were being defeated since it was thought the VC were incapable of launching such an offensive. US public support for the war deteriorated and the US government began to draw down its involvement in the war as well as seek negotiations for a peace agreement.

Why do you keep posting this?

[Lorewolf447]

Over the years I've heard people who say using glue on your hair helps with locking in nutrients, keeping it well maintained and all of that other good stuff. Looking it up there is some use for it, particularity in "hair extensions, wigs and other hair systems" as one article put it. However, since I've never dug too deep into the subject I have no right to condemn or condone the use of glue use in your hair. Thus, I digress.

I will however say I'm an expert enough to say play stupid games you'll win stupid prizes. Reading on the incident it appears she ran out of a product called "göt2b glue", which the website says it's a "Spiking Glue". Basically it's a special type of styling product. Now I won't say I don't feel bad for the suffering she must have gone through, but if she decided to play the game with a product that is clearly not meant for what it was used for... well I refer you all to my statement at the start of this paragraph.

Yes, I know there are such things as life hacks which you can use products ways you never thought could be used before. Heck even I go looking for them to make my life easier. But sometimes you need to exercise common sense and know when to quite while you're ahead.

[zeitgeist057]

Okay, yes this was dumb. But on the flip side, this is part of the beauty of humanity. We have so many people and invariably someone is going to try something new now and again. Even if there is a sign that says "Don't try it.". The difference sometimes between "genius" and "dummy" is just dumb luck. People put things in their mouths and chew on them. That's how we know that potatoes, carrots, garlic, and many many other things are edible. It's also how we figured out how to cook some things. It's also how we know lots of things are poisonous. Someone ate it, then died, then all the other cavemen told each other "Don't eat the pink berries on the pokey bush, Zog ate them, now Zog dead." Thanks, Zog.

It's also how we get great inventions and progress like flying, combustion engines, and other miracles. That's from people trying stuff that hadn't been tried before. I could certainly do more research and put this together in a much more convincing way, but you get the idea I hope?

This poor girl, I feel sorry for her. In our culture, you see so many people doing "Life Hacks", where they use stuff for other than it's intended purpose, she probably thought she had a chance to stumble on some new life hack and get famous. Now she's infamous, so it goes.

[ShadezMcgee]

I have no sympathy for her because this was easily avoidable. Warning labels exist because of people like this. As long as social media is present, we will continue to see Darwinism grow with each new trend and we will keep watching and giving these idiots their fame instead of doing what we should be doing by ignoring them.

I think she filed a lawsuit against them. I am praying it gets dropped or she loses the case. Gorilla Glue should not be held responsible by any means and they should not lose any money for the actions of one idiot disregarding their warning label on the bottle.

It's a construction adhesive. What did you think was going to happen?

[btbc92]

Well, this is why the world is the way it is. Some people I'm learning don't have common sense, some aren't born with it, others refuse to get some. The many time's people want to argue with me on here and elsewhere is no different. People with common sense are always shamed for doing what is right to do. I just joked yesterday in the next 11 years they're going to invent a glue-like that being inspired by this. Tell me I'm lying? If you're going to experiment on yourself, be RESPONSIBLE for yourself and talking about SUING a company that is not responsible for your lack of rationality.

[Stoner710]

Feel better,
she did come out and say she was not suing gorilla glue so that’s a Plus,

of course she got her self into a hairy situation, now for a hair Brian person this might actually seem like a good idea if get the hair in the shape you want but if anyone stopped to think about it they would know it’s a hair brained idea that will get you in a hairy situation (ok I’m done with the hair puns).

good news is she did get it taken care of I guess a plastic surgeon got look at this hairy situation and took it upon himself to fix with gorilla size mistake pro Bono

[purplepoppy]

Some people need protecting from their own stupidity. No doubt she's the type who doesn't take advice from "experts" . She's also a prime example of why we need to curb free speech to prevent idiots like her giving advice on youtube. What if a child copied her?

[bellybuttonlint]

Oh lord... curb free speech? She's the reason why we need free speech. People need to see what idiots can do to learn from their mistakes... but regardless... curb free speech? You can go to China if you want speech curbed so badly.

[MarkRet]

Judging by the freaky eyelashes and studs, it looks like this person spends a lot of time sitting around doing superficial things to herself. She now has medical workers also doing superficial things. Does this drive up medical costs? I wonder if she's ever done anything useful in her life.

[Anonymous]

Apparently, she's not the first person to use this as a hair product. If you look up the product on Amazon and look under the Amazon Reviews there is someone who used it to keep their hair in place also.

Putting any type of glue on hair whether its actually for hair or not seems damaging to the scalp but to each their own I guess.

Maybe these people donating to her actually had similar experiences maybe?

I am baffled by how much she's been able to get considering we're in a pandemic and there are so many people starving right now and without shelter.

I think there was a social experiment about how people will give their last for a person that looks like they don't really need it versus someone who looks like they really do need it.

It certainly says a lot about our society.

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

I’m not trying to figure out but I can’t help but wonder where these people come from. Some guy landed in the ER because he didn’t believe it. The ER might have to remove the top part of his lip. Then there was another girl that was mad the ER staff was laughing at her because she put a perm on her pubic hair over night. Who are these dumbass people and who raised them? That’s the real question.

[myTake Owner]

I swear....I mean, we could print all the warning labels in the world and people still don't listen. I mean how many people have been told not to park on railroad tracks when they're trying to cross.....and yet, we have at least a couple dozen accidents a year....we can preach until we are blue in the face but stupid is stupid!

[Anonymous]

I think it's a very telling situation about our society as a whole. And doesn't set very good role models for the youth of today.

If I knew I could get near enough a year of minimum wage salary and all it would cost me is pouring a bottle of glue into my hair, id have stopped working long ago.

As you mentioned, it's terrible that so many people would opt to pay to reward this stupidity rather than donate to a meaningful good hearted cause.

[humanearth]

Wow, what a stupid woman. That just as bad as the woman that sued McDonald's for spelling their coffee on herself and got burnt

In 1992, 79-year old Stella Liebeck became the poster child for frivolous litigation after filing a lawsuit against McDonald's for serving coffee that was too hot. The public generally ridiculed...

[WikkiWikki]

Yes, gorilla glue girl is stupid. But you clearly do not know the tale of the Hot Coffee McDonalds woman. Sounds like you heard of the tale and did a google search to gather her age and name, but make no mention of the details as to why she sued or to what extent it actually played out.

Yes McDonalds Hot Coffee girl was dumb, but it was not her fault. 190 degree coffee spilled in your lap is so damn close to the boiling point of water which is 212 degrees. She had third degree burns and required skin grafts on her inner thighs as well as on other parts of her lower body.

While she was awarded 3 million dollars, that is not what she sued for. She sued for $20,000. just enough to cover her medical expenses. The way the media, at the time, framed it was absolutely disgusting and in line with the way the media has covered President Trump the last 5 years.

I think you need to turn your telly off and stop paying so much damn attention to fake news.

[humanearth]

@WikkiWikki yeah, i looked that details up after I posted. I remember the case, but not the details. Thats when i realized this was a bad sample to use.

Oh well shit happens

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Omg people like this piss me off to no end. How fucking stupid can people get? (Oh, wait 🙄)
Unfortunately they are still allowed to reproduce and pass on their stupidity to their offspring...
For the love of all that is good, you cannot sue a company who very clearly on their labels state what their product is used for and what it isn't meant for...

[Espresso-Grande]

It's not as bad as the woman who superglued one of her eyes closed. She thought she'd picked up her eye drops, but picked up superglue by mistake..

The manufacturer of Gorilla glue with be secretly celebrating. They have free advertisement of their product. It'll boost their sales lol

[annie6815]

Ok, what she did was really stupid... but, who’s to say we never do anything stupid and something like this happens. She didn’t know it was going to be this extreme... most glue does come unglued. I was rather surprised however, that she was 40 years old... I was assuming like 20

[Tdieseler]

You may not be able to fix stupid but if the stupid mistakes are fixed, you just wait for the next one. she's finally free.

The internet sensation kind.

These aren't the next Einsteins, Telsa's, Munro's or Said's.

These peoples whole existence is for likes, ad revenue, and donations. Its their contribution to society. It may be a firefly existence, but they choose it for better or for worse.

You are not their guardian to guide them different. Don't judge them too harshly, as they are probably on a sturdier pedestal than you.

[GirlsTonguesHOT]

Call me cynical.

Call me I misanthrope.

Call me a sociopath.

Call me a psychopath.

Call me whatever the fuck y'all fools need to call me but eugenics... eugenics for the willfully mentally impaired.

Also that's Superman disguise joke was too funny.👍👏👍😂

[Static_In_The_Attic]

She’s a genius & an instant online celebrity & I wonder how many other people are going to put gorilla glue in their hair for $23,624.00. On the other hand hopefully she has health insurance & hopefully they cover this because I would love to see the hospital bill on this one.

[Brokenheartedx]

She's a numpty.. 40 years old and didn't realise superglue hardens and difficult to remove. She needs it all shaved off, including her own hair, dunno how probably needing industrial hedge sheers to get through the glue. In the UK she would have court case thrown out and the daily mail taking the piss out of her. Stupid bloody woman.

Hey, Can I know your opinion on a topic in your DM?
