Ok then :(
Pro tip: Have a magnet handy, in a workshop I used to work a nigga got steel shavings right into his stupid eye, a day later he still had some left, and an eye so red my own teared up.
Boss dropped by, saw him, asked what happened, grabbed a HDD magnet used to stick notes, and pulled those eye slime covered metal bits right off.
I was amazed at how simple of a solution, and that it didn't occur to me.
If it's non ferrous metal then though luck tho.

Safety glasses will keep you out of more trouble than you ever thought you could get yourself into.

I learned that after nearly losing an eye to a snapped dremel blade.
By 'nearly', I mean 'two inches lower and it would have hit my eye'. I still have a mark in my forehead where it hit and gouged a chunk out.

>work in machine shop

Did the same shit when I worked being a mechanic but I'd wear them when underneath the cars.
>>14685810
Honestly, thanks OP. I have gotten some conventional weapons dropped in my eyes working under the car, but I continue to go under there without safety glasses. I guess it never occurred to me.
>Nagasaki Hiroshima dropped
Termi you fuckingg retard, don't tell me you still think those were the names of the bombs
>>14686280
get polycarbonate lenses dumbass and then get a pair to wear over the polycarbonate prescription lenses
>working under car doing oil change
>drip
>right into my eye
Keeping your eye open when you're spraying it with a garden hose is hard
>>14686293
lmao
>>14686280
Prescription glasses don't protect your eye at all, though there is some false confidence in them
>>14686293
murica
fuck
yeah
>>14686293
>falling for any level or termi trolling
>>14686293
Op here, I was using the names of the cities bombed as a metaphor for "bad things being dropped"
>>14686293
Never ceases to amaze after 7 years of being here how easily baited you all are
Termi is either trolling 100% of the time, or he never knows what he's talking about. So he's either the most dedicated troll on here, or he's a dumbass.
>>14685810
can confirm but ffs wear ones that seal across the cheek

>mother fucker is shaped like an arrow head 1 mm long by .5 mm wide
that was two years ago and I'm slowly going blind
my right eye is short sighted and my left full of scratches and damaged tissues
my left eye is always squinted so blinks half a second before my right
I cant see much in the distance and my vision gets much worse at night
when I'm tired all the muscle around my left eye starts aching

I know a couple of guys who use bench and angle grinders wearing only prescription glasses
they have been doing that for years so I don't know wtf is in their eyes but look close and there are rust spots
the eye is one of the fastest glowing tissues on the body so in an hour and all the stuff stuck on your eye becomes a part of it
doctors try to dig it out with a sharp spoon but they do not get everything
>>14686319
did the same except was doing fuel filter, let it sit and burn until i got the new one in and at that time it was too much to handle so i turned on the hose and stared at the end like my first time seeing titties. it was right under freezing, i'm glad the hose wasnt frozen
>>14686341
you dipshit, how hard are "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" to remember
>>14686293
>>14686341
think more of the debris caught in the explosion and it makes more sense
>current year
>being this literal
Op here, doctor removed what seemed to be a big chunk of solidified oil or grease, was behind my eye, like literally behind my entire eye. They had to use a special metal tool to "open" my eyelid and extract the nuclear fallout that landed in my eye.
WEAR YOUR FUCKING SAFETY GLASSES.
anybody have any recs for safety glasses that don't fog up, dont scratch and are comfortable? the free ones that the tool room gives out scratch within hours and are pretty useless.

For about 5 minutes I could in all directions instantly.

Harbor Freight's fit well and kept a cutoff bolthead out of my eye just fine. If they get scratched up just use rubbing compound on them.
Glasses suck and dont stop airborne debris
>>14689466
Why wear something that is worse? HF also has a Safety Goggles 3 Pk for 3.99
>always wear safety glasses
>don't even care when people make fun of my oakley's
>never had an eye injury
feels good man
>wrenching underneath rusty Datsun a while back
>particle of rust lands right in my eye
>spend the afternoon trying to remove it myself and end up just going to my eye doctor
>he removes it and I instantly feel 1000% better
Now I always wear safety glasses/goggles when working underneath my car
