Look out! A spoon!
Too many of my own dumb incidents to think about right now, so here's one of my mother's friends. Like everyone ever she forgot to get the ice cream out of the freezer before she sat down for her meal so when she wanted to portion it out for dessert it was still rock hard. She got a good hold on the tub (the ice cream world's equivalent of a headlock) and started trying to hammer into it with a spoon. Getting nowhere fast she put all her might into one final attempt. The spoon skidded across the top of the ice cream and kept on going. Such was the angle she was holding it at and the force she was putting into it the spoon arced upwards and she managed to stab herself in the eye with it, gouging her cornea quite badly.

She had to wear an eyepatch for two months while it healed and for the entire time, every five seconds, she was asked by someone why she was wearing it. By the end she just used to sigh wearily and start gently sobbing rather than getting the piss taken out of her again.

Apparently
Wearing an eye patch is the last thing you should do, as it stops the air from getting to the eye and therefore delays the healing process.
