All Comments on 'MSDS Material Safety Data Sheet'

750 words is very hard to squeeze anything meaningful into. This short was okay but I felt the brevity here. Trust me, I did a 750 word story and it confused readers, so I get they aren't easy.

Thanks for sharing.

As Kermit said, It's not easy being green. Good one!

Well done sir. A very challenging endeavour but you pulled it off in spades

Poetic justice, no real harm done. thanks

Well technically for several years now it's no longer the MSDS but the SDS. Safety Data Sheets. Don't ask me why. I was explained at the time and I didn't get it. I looked it up just now and I still don't quite get it. Sounds like bullshit some decision maker or committee invented to justify their salary. It's the same exact fucking thing with nothing changed but the name. Oh sure they changed some wording. But it's still the exact same thing. The fact they dropped the "Material" from the name just makes "Safety Data Sheets" more ambiguous. Let's say you're some moron that just ate a packet of those dry packs full of silica gel thinking they were generic brand pop rocks. You know there's an MSDS somewhere but you can't find it. All you can find is something called the Safety Data Sheets which you assume must be all the crap your boss makes you take classes on like why you shouldn't jump out of a moving forklift. You know the crap you have to sign at the end so if you ever fucked up bad enough they can pull it out and show the jury your signature proving unequivocally that their own asses are indeed covered and whatever you did was because of your own stupidity. Well now you're left thinking you're going to die because they must have gotten rid of the MSDS. You wish you weren't so you can sue them but without knowing how much time you had left you instead decide to get drunk and weld the doors shuts on your managers Miata.

For anyone assuming that I must work in some industry that might deal with dangerous materials to know this, I don't . I worked a fucking office job and I had to take a fucking class and I had to sign a fucking paper to prove I took that damn that class explaining the name change. And some asshole decision maker or committee much closer to me than the government safety sultans responsible for the original name change had decided it was a perfect opportunity to fill our own SDS with every fucking thing imaginable that you might come into contact with in our office. Which means I had to fucking hunt down the SDS's for shit like dry erase markers, canned air, toner, and yes also dry packs. SDS's didn't exist for half the shit they wanted me to find.

It's hard to find a new form of revenge, but that works! I liked it. There will be a lot of questions at work on Monday.

MSDS haven't heard that term in 10 years, that's how long I've been retired from the UW! Used to be on the safety committee and we dealt with that stuff all the time. Pretty good setup for the cheaters, food dye in the hot tub, love it! 5 stars, pretty good for a 750.

Lovely revenge, but then green is my favorite color!

funny stuff nice

Profound!

I would be extremely frustrated fitting a story such as this into 750 words.

You have way more patience than I !!!!!

"Barb and John work in the same building downtown, just different floors. Could they?"

Of course they could -- you said they were married. I think you meant Barb and Ron.

¡Muy Bien!

Short & sweet. Five stars

MSDS are now known as SDS Safety Data Sheets. The M for material has been dropped (for the most part). Unless a MSDS has not gone through a revision to be designated by the new term.

Since I wrote software to maintain a database of MSDSs in a past life, I couldn't pass this one up, and it came through in spades.

That Green S gets everywhere!

That was hilarious but doable revenge.

Nice one @weiliczka

Meh.. Three stars. Nuff said.

Where is the loving wife. it is more a story of being naive and then getting revenge.

Not bad!

"Barb and John work in the same building downtown" - Shouldn't that be Ron? Isn't John Barb's husband?RON is fucking around with Barb, why would where Barb's husband works be worth mentioning?

That was a good bit of fun.

Good to see you writing here.

Juvenile and silly. Another "tech" story about how, what, when, but omitting the only question that brings forth the humanity of the characters: Why? Why did they decide to betray their marriages? Oh, well, its pussy and cock, why not? Again, that response makes sense only if you think like a teenager. Long term marriages suddenly thrown away? What happened?

\

And of course, in the aftermath, the cheaters will claim they had been suffering long term psychological and emotional abuse, and their proof will be the dyed water, vandalized cars, and theft of their money and other personal property. The marriages were already broken, the mature response would be to just present the filmed evidence to family and friends and seek remedy in divorce court. I think your family and former friends having video evidence of what a monster you were to your spouse is more humiliating than dyed skin and flat tires. But again, this story was celebrating the techniques, and ignoring the human fallout. Opportunity missed.

Original reversed anti-cuck tale, but too much short. These new wave of 750 short writings are now the normal, but almost always they simply are not tales, just fragments almost useless.

Good flash story to continue!

Did you mean "Barb and John (or RON) work in the same building downtown, just different floors. Could they?

How deep is the average hot tub- 18 inches? Naw, not enough payback.

And giving MC's own car flat tires? I could see her giving Ron's or Barb's car flats...

Besides, they had already taken the car keys, so what was the point?

Shouldn't she have simply taken the car instead?

Btw, the usual spelling of the name, Streisand changing her own name excepted, is Barbara.

🤣

I liked it. Food coloring works. I was expecting something more caustic but harmless. Something that gave them the itches or hives, etc.

Brilliant, as always!

One of the best. It needs no more.

I don't care much for the 750word format, but this was cute

I would have stayed behind and confronted them! Still 5 BIG ONES!

Now THIS is a story!

5-stars over and over and over and....

You got the name of Ron and John mixed up and I think screwed up the story. You wrote "Barb and John work for the same company". Should have read Barb and Ron work at the same company. It's only 750 words doesn't take much to cause confusion.

Cheaters caught and punished.

This would be an amazing full story. I’m still giggling

I really LIKED this one! Very original, too.

Good job!

Love a good revenge loving wife story

Not only was this incoherent, but even after rereading this 25 times, you mix Ed up names: “Barb and John work in the same building downtown, just different floors. Could they?” Obviously you meant Barb and RON 😎

A good story but needs a lot of expansion, please.

A funny tale. 5 stars DMW aka Sumnut96

The ass really is greener on a cheater. Story is too good to limit to 750 words.

A few elementary suggestions if you wish to be a better writter. (1) Learn the difference between a conjunction and a preposition, specifically the difference between as and like. In your first sentence: do chemical products really publish technical documents?

ridiculously bad.....what exactly does food additive do. 1 Star

Nice, good revenge on cheaters……

This would be a great longer story…..

@maedros21 - It's food-grade dye, like the food coloring you'd use to make colored cake frosting or dye Easter eggs.

So the MCs dyed their spouses bright green for an indeterminate amount of time. Depending on which dye was used and the level of concentration, that could be anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

MSDS have been gone for a a few years, replaced with SDS sheets.

I think this story needed more than the 750/word project. Good beginning tho.

Great short story. I would love to read an expanded version.

RE: MSDS have been gone for a a few years, replaced with SDS sheets.

I would say that is possible some might still have MSDS for NOS.

Good 750 word story.

Original BTB/BTB. Still smiling, no clothes, no money, no phone and four flat tires while glowing green.

Thank you.

As for the MSDS, I say perhaps the chemical was NOS and still had the original MSDS.

Oh that’s nasty, but soooooo good , what a devious mind you have, but thank god that you do, great story, short and I was going to say it needs a follow up, when I soy part 2 waiting on the right.

Too soon to rate but I like where it's going.

Kind of glad it was only 750 words. Like some others commented , it's been years that SDS replaced MSDS, but why would one be needed for food coloring?
