Is there paint on your eyes???

If not, you should be okay after hanging out at the ER for 3 hours.

lol, WD-40, heating oil, and a flat-head screwdriver are the only not-common object i've had in my eyes.

Gasoline, oil, and antifreeze all were in my eyes!

When I mess with chemicals I watch it carefully. Worst thing I ever got in my eye was a rose thorn. 15 min to get out and my eye hurt for a week.

I don't remember much from when I was in 5th grade...but I can't forget when I was beating a piece of wood on the ground and caught a splinter in the eye and had to have laser surgery on it.
Not 100% on this...but there appears to be a scar on my right eye. Laser eye surgery was new back then, so maybe...
Otherwise, I have some weird mark on my eyeball.

[Mr. CarelessAndImprudent]

I got an ember in my eye once. Hurt like hell and burned a nice little crater into the white part

Do your eyes shut faster now?




Maybe this will make you feel better. I open my door to go into work the other day and I hear a squeek, oh no...can't have that. So, when I get home, I grab the can of Lithium grease I had bought months ago meaning to lube up the hinges which looked like they had never had any grease on them, but just never got 'round to it.

I have a single car garage, so I can't open the doors all the way to do this, so I pull into the driveway and decide I'll do it there, problem with that is there is no light to see the hinges.

What do I use instead of a flashlight...a lighter...what else.

Well, did you know lithium grease is extremely flammable?

I didn't, with the lighter well behind the can, and a 6 inch tube sticking out of the sprayer, I never thought for a second...

Well, here I am spraying the grease into the second hinge when...BOOOM! the hinge is on fire, my hair is on fire and my right hand and the can is on fire.

What do I do? I throw the can onto the grass, put out my hand and begin blowing on the hinge, three blows and I get it to go out. I check all over...phew...no paint damage.

I go inside to check me, and my hair is all burnt up in the front, my eyebrows are singed, eyelashes are gone, hair is burnt up my right hand and forearm and all I can smell is burnt hair...pretty funny.

Important thing...no more squeek.
