jimmyironic tells us more.
for everyone telling me I should have grabbed a new set of gloves, believe me, I tried. I searched the entire house and asked my brother for gloves too. there were no others. I also had a date in 3 hours with my girlfriend and needed to get this done and get showered before it was time to leave. i didn't have money to run to the store to buy new gloves. And grandma wasn't home to loan me the money. Nor would she be home until about 30 minutes before I had to leave. So I just had to suck it up and clean them then. I also live pretty far from my grandma's house and wouldn't be able to see her again until Christmas. so this was my last chance to clean them before they were frozen solid.

The real question is; when was the last time somebody cleaned the gutters? That's disgusting.
You have no idea bro... gutter cleaning isn't that easy and no one wants to do it. I did it twice. Latex gloves under gardening gloves. Works every time.
I had the latex gloves. just no gardening gloves. but yes, that is my usual method as well. I clean gutters as my actual job during fall. I had ripped my last pair of latex gloves and there were no other gloves of any kind in the house.
I hoped you washed your hands really good after that, sounds like her gutters needed to be cleaned a while ago. Sorry OP, that really sucks. No good deed goes unpunished.
You should've grabbed some new gloves op
The way you describe cleaning your gutters makes it seem like a kid who was just made to clean his room by his mother and just found M&Ms that are older than him. That's really disgusting. Clean your gutters more often, that way you get less shit at one time.
it was his grandma's gutters.
Hockey stick
Couldn't grab new gloves or use something like a small hand gardening shovel? Tbh, YDI for not grabbing another set of gloves...
Yeah. If that happened to me, I would've been like "Okay! Time for a break!" and headed out for coffee and new gloves.
You should see a doctor OP. There's lots of diseases caused by the things that can hide in there.
As a plumber who deals with feces all the time, I'm going to say that's not very smart. Handling poop with your bare hands is a good way to become very sick. If you were capable of ripping your glove open to that extent, who is to say you couldn't have done the same thing with your hands, while they were covered with crap? No joke, that's a good way to have to lose a hand permanently. Be smarter, OP, Grandma lived with shit-filled gutters for a long time, she can live with it long enough for you to get a new, better pair of gloves.
