This morning while riding my bike to collage, I got a fly in my eye. It was windy, which made it very hard to get out and blinking didn't seem to help. This is because it was stuck in that little duct next to the nose. I've been able to feel it there all day, and it hurt slightly every time I blinked.

Just now, several hours after it got stuck there I started blinking a lot and rubbing my eye again, and this time it came out covered in a bit of mucus :O. It feels so relieving to have that thing out of my eye, and I can final relax. I was starting to get testy because of it being there. Anyway, it a huge fly, but niether was it small. It was just under half a centimetre long.


So yeah, I just felt like saying that because it really does feel great (oooof;)) to have that thing out.
 
hmm...must have been annoying.. and maybe painful?
anyway yeah stay away from flies :P

I was working the Qualification Range Sunday... One of our younger kids who was shooting had a 5.56mm shell caseing bounce off the bunker wall and land inside his eye glasses... By the time he ripped his glasses off the caseing had burned into his skin on his lower lid and was stuck there. The medics later told me it had touched his eye ball and that he'd be in the hospital for awhile... Not sure about any permanent damage.

This story was given so that you'd feel better by comparison.
 
That's messed up, dude... no ****in' way I could stand that.
 
heh I hate it when that happends, always best to wear sunglasses when riding a bike, even if its in england :p
 
I get the feeling that must happen alot to people who drive convertables on major highways. :O
 
on the bright side though, at least it wasn't a bee. that could have been very sucky
 
That happends to me like all the time. And it's SOOO annoying.
 
Thats why I squint while riding. ;o

Probably right...I would do if I didn't look like such a pleb with them on. Well...actually I they are alright but wearing sunglasses on an overcast day :O

I saw the fly as well though, and I thought "Thats going in my eye :(" it happened within less than a second though, so any action I could have taken, would have likely caused my to hit the inconveniently placed old women with a shopping bag :x

Ah well. Rather hit her than have a fly in your eye all day.
 
Well....It was dead after 5 hours stuck in my eye :P Its still stuck to the plastic bag inside my little bin.

Wow that would suck! I hope that dude is ok, people really take their eyesight for granted.
 
I once got a ball thrown in my eye...only...it wasn't a normal ball, it was this weird one with sucker pads on it. It ended up that I had a scratch across my iris. It was very painful, and could have left permanent damage. In fact, I had to sit in school for 2 hours because the teacher told me "No, look your cheek is red, it hit your cheek" I was like "Of cours my cheeky is red, im bloody crying!" So I sat, my eye watering for the rest of the lesson. My class mates were trying to convince the teacher I was hurt. I would have just gone, but I was quite young, and I couldn't get home without a lift. But...it was better after a couple of days, I just had to wear an eye patch :D

Bah, dumb people.... :(

I hope she sucked up to you for the rest of the year... :P
 
No...she didn't. Nobody liked her, and for some reason she manipulated the school into paying her the most. Eventually she left, but to this day I don't think she really realised, or cared how much people hated her. She really really was a person you couldn't like. :|
 
That happens to me a lot when I ride my dirtbike. :)
 
Welcome to my life.

My eyes are fly magnets. I think I've got quite an impressive collection behind my eyeball, maybe even some extinct species.
 
It's also nice trying to coax bits of torn, sticky contact lens out from behind your eyeball.
Oh wait, sorry I didn't mean to say "nice". I meant to say "bloody awful" - yes that's what I really meant.
 
My eyes are magnets to little kids arms flinging around, it's not that nice having a watery eye for half an hour the 30th time you get someones nail in there.
 
Picture this:

No windscreen in our car (knocked out by a stone earlier, glass everyewhere, cut my shins up because it sprayed into the cabin at an angle).

Car is going 100kph one way.

Bee is doing about 25kph the other way.

Bee comes through empty space where windscreen once was.

Bee hits me in the upper eyelid at 125kph.
 
Oh man.. all this eye talk is getting scary.. I'm already paranoid of having things in my eyes and they hurt all the time. Im 17 and I practically have to use eyedrops everyday :(
