Ripped Ear Piecing
Was at the arcade one day and a friend of mine was playing one of the huge crane games. After a few goes she eventually gives up in defeat, but wants one of the balls from the inside, I pop open the exit hole and look in, a win, a ball in the exit! I pop my head and arm in and grab it, on the way out I wind up having a huge amount of pain, The flap had actually pulled the piercing from the top of my ear out, well not out, the ball wound up in my ear and the rest hanging out the back, blood all down my hands and ear. My friend wound up thinking I was mucking about until I pulled my hand away to wipe on my jeans. Since the arcade is on a seafront we had to walk through a park, through a small street and to the only piecing place I know, to find it is shut on Mondays!
After 118, and wandering about we eventually gave up and headed to QnA via bus, fortunately had some tissues to plonk to my ear, but doing everything one handed isn't a fun task. Got there and had it pushed through and removed, its all healed now but I've learnt some lessons
-Always have tissues on you
-NEVER go after the balls in a crane game
-If you do go after them, remember to sodding take it so it wasn't all for nothing.
