Well i know better but was trying to remove a shift knob that was stubbornly resisting. 2 good yanks got a little movements one more good yank, and pow right in the eye. I see it comming in slow motion. Cant shut my eye fast enough. A 5mm scrape on my cornia.
Fortunately my ophthalmologist worked me right in. The drops were great, but they will now allow it to heal so here i sit im my 914 self inflicted pain. I no remember tutlegirl making a note to self to "remove belly ring before sliding under car". Share you cautionary tales. |

This won't surprise anyone...
A couple of years ago I was putting back the torsion spring after repairing the trunk mount. I used the socket and extension method to push it and I got too close to have a better view. My hand had become sweaty by the effort and the whole thing slipped, springing back and hitting me straight on the lower lip and jaw. One of the most painful moments ever and I was convinced that I lost some teeth and broke a bone. I went to the ER and everything was fine except for a very nice bruise and swollen lip. Moral of the story is to keep your distance and wear all the protection possible when working with those. Don't know how they did in the factory but it must of been one of the riskiest jobs on the assembly line. |
