Everyone knows about the red caps
If you find yourself in the little exam room at the eye doctor's office, the small and dark room with the giant chair and its horror-movie-esque attachments, if you find yourself there and needing to remove one or both of your contacts, and if you ask the doctor if there is any saline solution you could use to assist with getting said contacts out and she points vaguely to the bottles sitting right next to the sink, do not, I repeat, do not pick up the bottle with the red cap.
The one with the blue cap? Just fine. The one with the white cap? Even better. But do not pick up the bottle with the red cap, do not unscrew the cap, and for all that is holy and pure DO NOT squeeze a few drops from the bottle with the red cap into your eyeball.
Valette: Ow! Owowowowowow! Should I not have used this one? Owww!
Doctor: Um, no. That's soap.
Valette: Ow ow owowow!
Doctor: Didn't you see it has a red cap? That means it should never ever go into your eye.
Valette: Ow!
Doctor: Now let's put this new contact in and see if that makes your vision any better.
Valette: *tears running down face and eyeball not cooperating* Owww!

4 Love Notes
Hard to imagine the liability(ies) of unmarked bottles - red cap, or not - in a Doc's office/exam room. I cried for you.
Lol. Yes, I'm afraid I do know about the red caps.
Ouch! A good case for a "lawsuit". I did not know about the "red cap" thing either and I've been in a lot of eye doctors offices. Maybe need to check into another doctor.
Oh, I thought it meant "Ketchup".
That explains why my hamburger didn't taste that good.
And foamed.
