Yeah so I work in a restaurant and it was time to clean, so I go to put some dawn in a bucket like I do every night. But this night we were out of dawn so I grab some OxiClean or something like that spray and pour some in my bucket. But then the other cook comes behind me and goes no use this. And he pours some of that Clorox gel into it. So I go to the sink to add water and it's like a brick of sulfur just hits me in the nose in the face and I realize what I've done and poured it out as fast as I could, but the salad guy and the dishwasher were already coughing and going like what the hell amigo?? And I was coughing and I just started pouring water down the drain as fast as I could but it's still lingered in the kitchen for quite a while and it was very very strong and freaked me out but nobody died so that's good. I assume it was mustard gas whatever it was it was a very strong compound that did not agree with humans.

TL;DR I mixed OxiClean spray with Clorox gel in a bucket at work and made mustard gas or some other volatile compound
