Wearing contacts when drunk
Went away for a weekend with friends and decided to leave the specs at home and enjoy the new found freedom of my lovely new contact lenses. Unfortunately one of the lenses fell out after about five pints, so I spent the remainder of the evening wandering around with one squint eye and the other wide open, like a drunken quasimodo. After a few more pints, I even managed the speech impediment and drooling.

Knowing that sleeping with contact lenses in is a bad thing, I dutifully removed the lenses before bed. Unfortunately I was still in plural while forgetting the lens was in the singular.

Remaining lens was popped without a problem. In trying to remve the non existant lens, however, I resorted to pinching the sides of where the lens should have been, with increasing firmness, again and again, for about 10 minutes.

The following morning my eye had glued itself shut, prying it open revealed two large, red fingerprint-shaped, bruises either side of my eyeball.

I remember a nurses story
of an extremely drunk bloke coming into A+E complaining that he couldn't get his contacts out. Turns out he'd been trying to pull off the actual lenses of his eyes.

Yep, been there...
I've done that as well. I seem to remember that the lens of the eye stretched (well something on my eye stretched) and was quite possibly the worse sensation I've experienced to date.
Yuk.
