I now have an official Dangerous Bathroom Story. PIC - Toyota Yaris Forums

PETERPOOP · 10-20-2009, 01:40 PM

I was in the bathroom yesterday, and the most freak accident thing happened to me.

After taking a nice #2, I decided to light a match, to make the smell a little more pleasant. The matchbox in my bathroom has some wear and tear on it, and the part where you strike the match, is somewhat falling apart. Because of this, when you strike a match against it, rarely will an amber from the matchhead shoot and fly off somewhere randomly. Well yesterday, while striking the match downward against the box, the amber shot upward and landed directly on my EYE! lol. Luckily, I must have blinked at the moment of impact. I am glad it didn't go IN my eye.

So now I have this burning amber on my eye lid and below my eye. I couldn't believe what was happening. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I didn't want to rub the amber and make it worst, and I couldn't do anything! The amber burning my face, only lasted about 1 second. However, it felt like 15 seconds. ha. Anyways, I don't have any burn treatment laying around, so I'll need to get some today. However, this a picture of the burn with some Neosporin on it. Careful guys, the bathroom is a dangerous place.

OUCH

TheRealEnth · 10-20-2009, 01:57 PM

wow... that sucks

Loren · 10-20-2009, 02:05 PM

"Ember" is the word you're looking for.

And... ouch! Be very glad you blinked. Reflexes are good.

TinyGiant · 10-20-2009, 02:10 PM

thats crazy. burns suck

last spring while cooking i knocked a pot of boiling water and it fell on my foot and instantly melted the top of my foot. i had a blister that formed and popped instantly in the matter of seconds. It looked like i had loose pantyhose on the top of my foot. so i ripped off the skin and had this big open wound for a good 2 months .. took a while to heal.

i used that second skin when i had to wear shoes and when i was at home i used bactine and neosporin. burns hurt. glad you didnt lose and eye!

C'mon... we all know you were lightin' farts. Back up a bit next time.

TinyGiant · 10-20-2009, 02:23 PM

that would make more sense... if he was on his back with the butt over his head the match could have dropped and landed on his face lol

This stuff is pricey, but worth it:

My mom got a terrible burn on her arm (skin sloughing off kinda burn). She used that religiously and she barely has any scaring.

Tamago · 10-20-2009, 06:18 PM

oh, and the word you're looking for is EMBER, not AMBER

Why waste on a part of his eye that is 99% of the time open? So what if someone sees it while hes asleep

kac · 10-20-2009, 06:35 PM

scars are the roadmap to the soul.

nemelek · 10-20-2009, 06:44 PM

Next time use a can of air freshener. Spraying it against a lit match and you get a blow torch.

Kioshi · 10-20-2009, 07:08 PM

i would only expect this from you Peter LOL...but in all honesty, glad you shut your eyes prior to impact...

BUT really....lighting up a match in the restroom.....damn dude. I'm not using the restroom if i see you in there, probably take me out w/ you haha.....

blacksandiegovitz · 10-20-2009, 07:59 PM
