Jeez that hurt

[yvr girl]

I had what I thought was an eyelash in my eye. Very irritating. I couldn't see it, and I couldn't get it out.

After much blinking and tears I got a hold of the offending hair and began to pull. And pull. And pull.

The hair was 5 3/4 inches long (I measured it) and I think it was wound around my eyeball.

It's a very odd feeling to pull something that long out of your eye.

1. holy fuck

that sounds terrible!!!!!!!

2. Does anything good ever happen to you?

I wish there were something I could do to help.

Instead, I feel helpless for you.

Luv,

Floog

8. Lots of good things happen to me

I don't actually consider this incident to be a bad thing. It's over. My eye is fine. But c'mon you have to admit that was a long hair to get in an eye.

[Floogeldy]

10. I freely admit that was a long hair to get in an eye

Sometimes, I would just love to hear about something good that happened to you because you seem to be a good person.

Sincerely,

Floog

13. I posted the other day how I jumped for joy when

I saw a tree in bloom. Didn't exactly happen to me, but around me - does that count?

[Floogeldy]

15. Of course it counts

I'm sorry I missed it.

May all of the blessings of goodness fall upon you.

Luv,

Floog

3. I have had my wife's hair in my eye

and it scrunched up not next to my nose but on the far size. I looked like I had pink eye til I got it out. and she has long hair. shoulder length.

7. Um . . .

Try pulling a ten inch girlfriend's hair out of your throat.

I've been there!!!

[texas1928]

14. nevermind

I will not ask that, nope, will not go there.

[hfojvt]

20. what?

[RetroLounge]

25. You have a ten inch girlfriend?

4. I think that's just an urban legend.

[yvr girl]

9. I started my very own urban legend?

That is so cool.

[Kire]

22. that's what I think

I think that's just an urban legend.

5. a gore warning would be nice!

Those of us who are a tad squeemish....gawds... :puke:

[yvr girl]

12. I tend to be a bit squeemish myself - I should have been more considerate

It didn't smell bad, so I was ok.

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. Holy shit! You poor thing

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

11. OUCH!

I'm having sympathy eyeball twitches now.

[Flaxbee]

16. oh man. glad your eye's OK

I've pulled short hairs out - cat hair, usually - and tend to not be too squeamish about my eyes bc I wear contacts, but damn. I hope it was your hair!

[yvr girl]

17. My hair is everywhere else so I don't see why it wouldn't be

I'm actually lucky - most of my hair is a lot longer.

[Tsiyu]

18. That is really, really weird

Glad it came out all right

Now go shave your head.

[mykpart]

19. If you use cotton balls

to remove eye makeup, it could have been a long fiber from the cotton ball. Not as interesting as other comments here, but something to remember when removing your makeup.

[yvr girl]

21. It was one of my hairs

I was just sitting on the couch, and then boom - major eye twitching.

[Radical Activist]

23. That was the most disgusting thing I've read in the lounge since

someone posted a story about a tapeworm that had a similar "I pulled and pulled" story. yuck.

[jswordy]

24. Uh, WHO would measure a hair taken from their eye?

And DOES it qualify for "Guiness Book"?

BRILLIANT!

[yvr girl]

26. I was curious

I didn't want to exaggerate. The unvarnished truth is important.

[RetroLounge]

27. Major willies reading that!

:wow:

Glad your eye is okay...

28. It could be worse

It's a much worse feeling sticking something that long into your eye. Like, for example, an ice pick.

Be thankful for small blessings.
