    I just did something incredibly stupid.

    I have a very cheap china-made swappable head driver set - completely worthless piece of shit: The metal hexagonal bit detached from the plastic handle long ago, making it utterly useless. I'm fixing things around the house, so had the superglue out to fix a mug and a pan handle - thought I'd fix the driver whilst at it.

    Put superglue in plastic handle, inserted the metal hexagonal bit, then - and stop me if you know what happens next - decided to hit it into place with a hammer.

    As I was swinging hammer, my subconscious had a passing moment of alarmed self-ciriticism and sure enough as the hammer made contact, I saw this spatter of superglue emanate from the handle, with a droplet heading straight towards my eye.

    There's not much less worrying to ask your partner from the garden "Dear, do me a favour - look up what I should do if I get superglue in my eye?"

    15 minutes later and it's all gone, along with a few eyelashes.

    Fucking idiot.
