Are you a fan of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM)? After 9 seasons, today marks the bittersweet end of the show. From Barney’s Bro Bibs to Robin and Ted’s red sauce incident, there have been several stainable yet legendary memories.
The day I met my husband wasn't that messy, but due to several situations prior to meeting him, I almost missed out on a great opportunity. You see, I met my husband on an internet dating site. Prior to meeting him, I had string of disastrous dates. I'm talking about the stuff sitcoms are made of. Let's see...There was the guy who's girlfriend had recently passed away who was bawling at the dinner table. I spent the whole two hours patting his hand. Then there was the 32 year old who came to our first date on a skate board so "he didn't have to worry about driving home drunk." Well, at least he was responsible, right? And let's not forget the reverend of the Jedi order who arrived dressed in full Star Wars ensemble.
These are only the highlights. I can't tell you how many people used fake pictures or turned out to be married. I swear I had so many first dates at the same local bar, the bartender actually asked me if I a was a lady of ill repute. By the time I met my husband, I was about to give up on romance altogether. When he didn't post a picture, I almost ignored his email. The thing that made me email him back will probably make me sound crazier than half my dates, but the main reason I agreed to meet him was because all my life I dreamed of falling in love with a guy named Tim and that was his name. It turned out to be the right choice. Six months later we were married and we just celebrated our five year wedding anniversary. Two kids later, we still have our share of messes, but I believe I finally found my soul mate.

I had a greese stain on my best dress
My favorite pair of slacks had a blood stain from my son's scraped up knee
My dogs make hug messes. Once they came in after it was rainy and muddy, and jumped on my work clothes. Quite the mess.
I had an unforseen bloody nose all over my dress shirt, that was not fun.
I would say my messy experience would be with my son. He was about 1 and 1/2 and just learned how to take of his pjs. Put him down for nap he proceeded to take pjs off diaper off and to play in his soiled diaper. It was everywhere! I threw bedding blankets everything away because I didnt know if I could get it clean and it grossed me out lol!
My son riding bikes in the spring. Mud splatters all up his back. Horrible!

I can't recall clothes getting messed up, but variety stays omg..with children living in the house I really need hard wood floors
I remember my little cousin running into the living room with a big chocolate shake..and tripping and spilling it all over the new white carpet and walls and her white dress
The worst was when my son had a blow out. He was in his exercauser. It was a huge mess. He jumped in it with socks on! YUCK!
My son had a HUGE blow out in his new cloth diaper. Oxi Clean helped remove all odor and staining!
I would say that my worst was when I cut my leg shaving right before going to bed. I woke up with a bloody mess all over my white sheets.
grass stains on clothes make a big mess..what to do...try a name brand detergent and hope it helps to get that stain out!
I was trying to make Beef Bourginon. My friend and I were trying to open a bottle of wine to cook with and our corkscrew broke. We stuck a knife in the broken cork and the wine went everywhere. I was wearing a white skirt and wine sprayed all over the kitchen and us. It was crazy! olivia41393@yahoo.com
my unforgettable stain was right before my sister's wedding which I was standing up to and I had static cling. I tried putting lotion on my legs to help and ended up with a big grease stain on the dress!
We were having a picnic on the deck with neighbors one warm spring day and the kids decided to take the hose down to the garden and make a mud pile. It turned into a full-on mud wrestling match and they loved it! Messiest day ever.
Oh boy. I have a 10 year old son who loves hunting, fishing, riding dirtbikes and four wheelers...just basically all things manly. So he's always dirty! But one of the worst and most memorable stain moments was last Christmas. He got a new pocket knife from Santa, and decided to try opening one of those impossible-to-open plastic packages. Not good. One sliced artery, 2 separate trips to the ER (on Christmas morning), and 6 stitches later, I had the most ridiculous puddle of blood stained on my carpet. It was like someone had been brutalized in my living room. Oxyclean took it all out. All of it! It was amazing! And gross! LOL

Rebecca B: I turned the blender on without first putting the lid on top. The entire kitchen was covered in red punch and my clothes were soaked.
My nephew playing with mud. And when i washed it came awesome
The worst thing I can think of was a room mate we used to have.Not only was he the biggest slob ever and I had to constantly clean up after him but he bought a dog(which we weren't supposed to have one) The dog ate the carpet and blinds and just made tons of stains and messes.I was so glad when he moved.
I once tried to blend something in my vitamix without the lid on. It made a huge mess and soup went flying everywhere!
We went away on vacation on the pipes in house broke. When we came back the whole house had water damage and smelled terribly. Oxiclean was a big part helping me to get rid of both the stains and the smells.
I bought a brand new shirt. I was eating and dropped mayonnaise on it. It left a big stain spot right where the boob was. I never did get that stain out.
My dog loves to play outside and visit the swamp. He also loves to run through the house and sleep on the couch. Unfortunately, he hasn't mastered the art of wiping himself off first.
When my children were little, and my back was unfortunately turned, they slathered themselves with Vaseline, and dumped baby powder on themselves to boot. I had to scrub them down with a degreaser in the tub, and then I had to degrease the tub!
I really can't think of any legendary moments in my life filled with laundry. But, I had 10 years of baseball field stains like red clay, sweat, grass stains and catsup & mustard from hot dogs that were certainly a challenge.
It's always messing when my dog comes in from being out in the rain. He likes to jump in the clean laundry basket to dry off. Great
My husband and I were set up by a mutual friend, almost as a joke. He told each of us that the other one had a big crush on the other one. Honestly, neither one of us really knew who the other one was.
My little dog is a big digger. He comes in the house will all kinds of mess on his paws.
My mother and I love going to the movies and eating popcorn. It seems like everytime we leave, one of us has a popcorn stain on our clothes. We've been searching high and low for something to help with the stains.

Brutus the boxer once got into a fight with a bag of flower in our living room. The flour won. Flour was caked into the furniture, the rugs, the dog bed and afghans, you name it. Thank heavens we can laugh about it now.
i have a ten month old child. need i say more!! poop, poop, poop all over everything! lol

grease stain on my shirt from cooking without an apron. What a mess. The stain didn't come out :"(
Once, my husband ruined a nice pair of slacks with a pen. I could not get it to come out for anything.
My son was covered head to toe in mud while we were camping. Crazy, but he had lots of fun. I think it was the only time the mosquitos weren't biting him.
The link for the twitter follow is incorrect but I am following you on two accounts. I took the entry. I hope this is okay.
It was when my son was little he had a blow out on his diaper then painted everything including my curtains. His bed sheets and covers were also covered
My two Gran-Doggies jumped on my white pants~mud and grass stains.
I slipped in the mud and roped my best jeans
My legendary moment was going on a hunt for beaver (just to look at them... cause they are cute), slipping in beaver poo and getting my brand new canvas keds covered with poo.
My legendary moment was when the whole family has the stomach flu. I had to wash every towel and sheet set in the house because it was all covered in puke!
My daughter ate chocolate ice cream and she ran to me to be carried. I forgot she had ice cream all over her face and she just rubbed her face on my shirt.
I don't have any "legendary blowouts" but I do work in a restaurant and use oxyclean for food and wine stains.
I was wearing white pants and have 2 collies that just came in from outside and jumped on me. I was full of mud and company were driving up the driveway. Too late to change.
My worst messy moment was i just got done cleaning my kitchen floor and my son got in the flour and dumped the bag all over my wet floor in the process of that my daughter dropped and egg it was a very bad day for me.
I'd say one of the worst was when my son was little (still in diapers but walking around and getting into things). He found a tube of diaper cream and when I wasn't looking, he squeezed the entire tube out and smeared it everywhere, including his clothes. That was a nightmare.
I reached for the laundry detergent, while talking on the phone...didn't check what I was pouring and it turn out to be bleach that I was adding to my colors.
The messiest moment I ever had was when my daughter vomited all over me and it got on my face, shirt, pants, shoes - all down the front. She was a toddler and was so sick. Not a moment I'll ever forget.
That moment may have happened today when my four kids(three of which are teenaged boys) were dying eggs. Two of them decided to hold an egg in their hands while the other dripped dye onto their eggs. More dye ended up on clothing and skin than the eggs.
I just had my worst! I got my son spiderman putty that ended up all over husband pants! Ugh!
On the way to work one morning, I stepped in doggy doo. Well, of course I put my bag on the floor and got it on there. Then, I proceeded to put my bag on my pants. I had doodoo everywhere. Purex w/Oxy helped me out with all of that mess.
The other day actually my son left his silly putty around and I did not see it. Needless to say it is still stuck in my jeans, that I had just bought!
my daughter was about a week old and we went to the grocery store, i was holding her and she soiled her diaper all down the front of me.
Taking mud off of clothes after working with dogs out in the rain all day. Did the trick!
The worst was walking inside with fresh laundry and tripping. I wound up sliding and getting dirt/grass all over myself and my laundry.
I was in costume for a convention. An hour before leaving I decided to fry an egg. I got it all over my front and had to put together a new costume in minutes.
My husband had a pen in his shirt pocket which I had forgotten to check and it exploded in the dryer. What a mess
My messiest experience...on my way to find out the sex of the baby I stopped to pick a Frappucino from Starbuck that 5 min later I managed to spill in my bosom...and in my lap...well...I wanted to know the sex of the baby so badly that I still went to the appointment covered in milk coffee :)
my mom was having trouble getting down in the basement so i offered to do there laundry..oh my what a mess my dads shirts were stained with coffee..they are cleaner
WHEN I WAS SHAKING UP SOME HI C RED PUNCH AND IT POPPED OPEN AND FLEW ALL INTO MY MOMS WHITE HAIR!! A CLASSIC :)
Our worst moment is we were having a pool party in the summer. Me and my girlfrineds were outside sitting by the pool drinking our cocktails, when my daughter runs out of the house screaming incoherently and she says Kaboom. I go inside and she was blending a smoothie and forgot to put the top on. Milk, ice cream, and strawberries were EVERYWHERE.

Every week is my legendary moment. My husband works heavy equipment and i tell you what, the clothes take a beating. work pants are not cheap so I take care not to wear them out and fade them each wash but also to get the mud and cement off. alot of sand. alot of hard work but good soap is the key
Our family went out to dinner at a Italian restaurant. My son knocked his plate of spaghetti right into my lap...yuck :)
My dog ran into the shed after relieving herself in the yard while it was raining. She jumped into a laundry basket that had clean white sheets in it. Thank goodness I noticed right away and washed them clean again in no time.
Once my dad spilled his drink on the carpet. That stain never came out.
My fiance is a machinist so we always have ground in dirt or oils in the laundry. Worst is when it gets mixed up with the other laundry and then soils the whole load.
when we first bought our house I wanted a planter bed that spanned the side of our house. my husband built it now we had to fill it. we rented a small bobcat to move the dirt, well it poured! I was covered from head to toe in mud so was he. I could have used oxiclean that day
When my daughter was little she threw up grape juice all over her white baptismal gown!
Here in Georgia I've had many memorable messes with red mud. Once I remember I splashed mud all over my wife's favorite jeans accidentally. Boy she was mad but Oxy Clean did the job of getting the mud out.
A messy but legendary moment in my life would be cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner. I was so nervous and had everything planned out to the minute. However, my turkey gravy did not cooperate even with lots of extra flour added in it, on my apron, and my stove from frustration. We ended up not having gravy that year and I have purchased backup gravy in the jar ever since.
Our parrots make cleaning a non-toxic events
have a super bloody nose. it was such a big mess.
My worst mess was probably while wearing a white vest during a surprise visit to my little niece. She was just finishing a chocolate bar and was somehow covered in chocolate. Being so excited to see me she just attacked me and turned my all white vest into a cow print vest. I never got the stains out!
Would have to be when I made a chicken casserole. From me taking it out of the oven to put onto the counter I missed and ended up with chicken and rice all over the counter, floor and cabinets...and we had no dinner for the night lol
my worse stain was when my son would play baseball and we would always have white pants and then he would get grass and red clay mud on them and they was so hard to keep clean I bet this would work on them

My kids taking snacks to their room and messing up their bedsheets with cheesy orange cheetos. NEEDED oxiclean!

Grease and grass stains are the worse! My honey works on cars and my grandkids get in the mud and grass!
my daughter plays softball and of course has white ball pants... I swear she thinks she has to slide every game
Thanks for the giveaway…we had an extended family pot-luck dinner one time and my sister in law walked in with a pot of her homemade marinara sauce, dripping it from her car through our home - carpeting, floor, etc. - finishing up on our dining room table with a big splash on the tablecloth. It was a mess to clean everything !
