Jeez that hurt
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.

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.

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?

12. I tend to be a bit squeemish myself - I should have been more considerate
It didn't smell bad, so I was ok.

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!

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.

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.

24. Uh, WHO would measure a hair taken from their eye?
And DOES it qualify for "Guiness Book"?

BRILLIANT!

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

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.

Khash.
