    When I was a kid, like ~6 years old, I walked into my parent’s room and saw a little bottle of eye drops on the night stand. I guess I was curious, but for some reason I decided to apply them to my eyes.

    The bottle was harder to squeeze than I expected, but when a tiny drop finally came out I missed my eye and got it on the edge of my eyelid. Turns out it was superglue and not eye drops. Luckily, it was such as small amount that I was able to wash it off and pretend like it never happened.

    I still don’t know why some super glue bottles look so similar to eye drops.

      In my 20s I dated a girl who kept eye drops on her end table at my place. I wore contacts, and needed eye drops. Thankfully I hated the anticipation of eye drops dropping onto my eye, and always did a pre-drip in my hand before holding it over my eye. Well wasn’t I stunned when I wiped the eye drop off on my shirt, and my shirt was stuck to my hand. Maybe I got powers like Spider-Man! Nope, I almost put nail glue in my eye.

      Why the hell did they start making nail glue bottles short and fat like eye drops? Why?!

      Holy sht this reminds me of something similar. I remember when I was really small like 5 I saw my grandpa take a screw driver, stick it in an outlet and see the screw driver light up. He then pulled the screw driver out and put it somewhere.

      I then took the screw driver and tried to replicate what he did. I must have been touching the metal part of the screw driver because I remember getting shocked when I tried to put the screw driver into the socket. I put the screw driver back and never told anyone.
