I was at the police station a few days ago to get my fingerprints done (no, I am not a criminal...just have a project in the works that requires fingerprints). Here's how my conversation with the police officer went:
Officer: What do you do for work?
Me: I take care of my children.
Officer: Do you use a lot of cleaning products?
Me: Uhh....yes.... (major OCD here)
Officer: Your fingers are chemically burned...we can't get a good set of prints.
So that's it; my fingerprints look like blobs...no actual 'prints' on them, at least not enough to qualify as prints. He suggested that I use gentle soap (non anti-bacterial) and wear gloves anytime I am using cleaning products. And then, in three weeks, I am to go back - and if I am lucky I might have prints again (if I'm lucky).
On a happy note, I have a very clean house.
