Have You Ever Stabbed Your Brain Through Your Nose with a Drinking Straw? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life3 years ago

Have you ever been drinking something utilizing a straw and maybe forgot that you had a straw and tried to drink from the cup as if you didn't have a straw, and ended up shoving the straw up your nose and nearly stabbing your brain, or nearly put out your eye with the straw?

I have. Both the nose and the eye.

Which eye(s) have you nearly lost in this way?

Which nostril(s) have you stabbed in this way?

What were you drinking when this occurred?

Did anyone see this mishap? Did they laugh? Did you?

Yup, I've done that one. I don't think I've ever had an injury that required treatment from such a thing, but I've certainly poked myself in the eyes and nose with enough straws in my life!

Actually I think the worst I had in this way was a spoon that was sitting in my cup, not a straw. It was a fancy-looking spoon with very ornate edges, and a sharp bit of it caught my nostril and cut it. I was far more careful what I did with utensils after that!

OUCH! Gag me with a spoon!!;)

Ew, too bad, berlinlife! You're missing out! Nothing like a straw scraping the inside of the nasal passages to remind you that you're alive!!

I wear glasses so I've never poked a straw in my eye, but there's been times I thought I had a straw and went to sip one that wasn't there. LOL

Hehe, good one, Gumball. I've done the same.

The standard of this question has me green with envy! Have i ever stabbed my brain with a straw? the brillance has simple blown me away with better effect than a woman who can tie a note in a cherry stalk.

I once sat on a nail, that caused severe brain damage. things are ok now but i have haemorroids in my left ear.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

I take your envy as the highest praise, alfie. I actually thought of you went I thought up this one. I hoped you wouldn't miss it.

I'm sorry about the brain damage. That explains a lot...

Oh my..poor Transdisc...what next...your pants fall down, you've stabbed your brain with a straw...gee...have you ever have both happen at the same time??
I've jabbed myself a few times but not with a straw, but will nearly poke my eye out with the spoon in my coffee that I somehow forgotten was there....


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm sure that if I was I would stab myself with the spoon too, pyewacket.

Oh yes, I have done this plenty of times with a straw and a spoon. With a spoon when I am drinking my coffee and forget to take the spoon out after mixing it. I'm not sure if anyone had seen me, I sure hope not.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

It's a good thing I don't drink coffee, OURDEW. I never realized how dangerous an activity that could be.:)

Where do you come up with these goodies? lol. Yes, I think I have done this and the straw came out one of my ears...ouch. You know, what you describe can really hurt. I prefer to do my straw drinking in private or with a very short straw. Thankfully, I usually wear glasses and that has saved me at least an eyeball more than once.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

Ah yes, the old, straw deflecting off the eyeglasses, routine. I had that happen when I wore glasses, sigma.

It does really hurt. In the eye or in the nose. Painful stuff.

Are you kidding? LMAO You had me totally giggle while reading your discussion!!! ha ha I am the Queen of Accident Prone. But I have a pretty good way of being able to also laugh at myself. LOL
I may have naturally dark hair...but I also have a natural blonde streak too that helps me to have these little mishaps.
My children have come to expect them from time to time and we all have a great laugh.
Now...to answer you question...
Never stabbed myself in the brain. Thank goodness.
But I have stabbed myself in the lip and even cut my upper lip a bit.
I have poked my eye several times. ha ha And each time I do anything like this...I laugh at myself while shaking my head.
It would be nice if no one was around when I did these things...but often someone is around to laugh at me or with me.:)


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

I've done it several times as well, brokentia. It is quite painful. Your lip cuts sounds painful. Ow! I can't stand when the straw gives a good scraping in the nasal passages. Really hurts. Thankfully, I don't inhale at the same time that I stab my brain, or I'd drown in a McDonald's cup!

Nope, must be aweful by the sounds of it. Ouch. Although I guess once you remember and think about it, do you now find it funny? If it happens to me, I usually laugh over my past mishaps.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 976 out of 38,533 in life  3 years ago

Heck, 8ctavarium, I've thought that it was funny at the time I did it!!
