You want to talk about anti-seize mess?
A few years ago, I bought a plastic JAR of Anti-Seize, thinking it would
last forever. It was about 12 fluid ounces.
Somehow it ended up on the garage floor. (The prime suspect remains, of
course, the cat) My wife ran it over in her van and it exploded. I am
grateful that 90% of it went toward the side of the garage and the yard
tools and not into the other parking bay, but I still find traces of it
today. It was truly godawful.
My lovely wife was oblivious to the whole thing and tracked right through
it. Now I stick to smaller containers.

Subject: What a mess, anti-seize compound
This is the important lesson that I learned last night. "Never,
never, never, leave a tube of anti-seize compound near the edge of a
shelf." You will knock it off, step on the full tube, squeeze the
contents out onto the bottom of your once new sneakers. Then you will
track the stuff all over your garage. Then your phone will ring and
you will track the stuff into the house. Damn telemarkets!
It will take at least an hour to clean up the garage floor, not to
mention the hurried effort to clean the floor and carpet in the house
before you wife comes back home. The stuff got on all of the electric
cords that were on the garage floor, and the air hoses. I am also
sure the the sneakers cannot be cleaned. If you think that the little
bit you put on a nut gets everywhere try an entire tube on the bottom
of your shoes.
