Superglue in the eyes
Between homes once I was dossing on an airbed in the loft space of someones house.
Basic rule was , once up in the loft at night, not to come down into the house ( by dropping a ladder) and disturbing them and the children.
No probs, I had a bucket for a loo, bottled water and all my belongings stashed around me.
Until one night I realised my airbed had sprung a leak.
Now I had prepared for this possibilty and had a basic repair kit to hand
Superglue and some strips of plastic.
To find the leak I sat on the bed and listened for the hiss.
Located it and in my stupidity didnt get off the bed when i tried to repair it.
Opens glue, leans over the tiny hole and drops glue onto it.
Tiny hole that is under pressure by my weight on the bed.
Escaping air under said pressure forces glue right into my face, mainly around the eyes.
Eyes glue shut.
I cant find my water bottle and realise I need to get down to the bathroom and hot water.
Grope around to find ladder, try to drop it down as quietly as possible, not really feasable when blinded actually.
Knock over the loo bucket ( not empty :( ) , miss my step out of the loft cover , slide down the edge of the ladder with a howl and a screeching noise and land in a crumpled blind heap on the landing with a not so discrete crash.
Spend the next hour or so with a part sympathetic part annoyed friend in the bathroom helping to prise my eyelids open.

Can laugh about it now
