I don't know why I feel compelled to tell the stupid things I do. But here goes, I was about to put the first coat of thin CA on a pen. I had the paper towel in my left hand and the SA in my right. When I looked at the tip of the bottle it looked like it might be plugged. For some dumb reason I held the bottle near my ear and was going to give it a tiny little itty bitty squeeze to listen for air coming out. Well, there must have been some CA in the nozzle because it sprayed at me with a few spots in front of my ear and a few on my shirt. Not that big of deal, I thought I would take acetone to it later. I just tried to take off my glasses and they are glued to my hair and I think all the way to the skin. Now I have to wait for my lovely bride to get home to help me get the CA cleaned off.

I had a friend that reached for some eye drops on his bench. He put a few drops in his eye and low and behold it was CA sitting next to his eye drops. He went to rub his eye and his finger got stuck to his face!
 
On a Jeep Forum that I'm a member of they had one better....

Seems one of the guys was using POR-15 (think Rhino Liner) on back end of his Jeep.....well, it was a hot day and he downed a few (beers that is) and continued about his work. Well, as nature goes, it wasn't long before he had to go.....

Since he's out back with no one around and it was too far to bother, going in to the house.....well he forgot that he didn't use the gloves that were suggested to keep the stuff off of his hands (it's VERY sticky)....he figured he didn't need then gloves as he would be careful and he thought it would be easy to get any errant splat off of his hands......

Well, when nature called........he found a private spot not too far from his work to go relieve himself. Well, as he described it.....before he knew it, he had his hand stuck to his 'hootus' and could not get it off. What he then described as to what he had to do to get unstucked had us all rolling on the ground......he still haven't lived that on down!!!

You are the second person I've seen post this exact scenario... While I'm certainly not above CA blunders (feet glued to floor, hand glued to skew, etc) I have to say that I can't think that I would ever LISTEN to the air moving out of the nozzle to see if it's clogged...
 
A friend of mine (not me, no not me) add CA on is finger and tried to scratch inside his right ear with his left hand finger. Took me,,,,,hum ,,,,him , 10 minutes to remove his fimger from inside his ear, with the help of his wife and CA debonder.
 
Ok, after reading all these stories, I'm starting to think that it's only a matter of time before I bond myself to something or some other part of myself. I probably should look for some debonder, and maybe get one of those "Help I've fallen and I can't get up" button things...
 
uh huh.. So how is your ear? :)

I am just glad that my lathe is "portable" because the acetone is across the shop.

Luckily i have only glued myself to the homemade tube insertion tool... and paper towels... and my shirt.... and my pants... sock to leg.... I think that's about it.
 
Somehow sitting on my swivel chair a few days ago... I managed to glue the side and back of my right knee with all the hair together.. went to stand and that crap hurt with all the hair pulling out. :)
 
The nozzle was pointed up several inches from my head. There was some dried CA around the tip (the reason I thought it might be plugged) causing it to shoot out to the side. Glad I'm not the only one to have a problem with CA. I'm really glad I glued my glassses to my hair and not my fingers to some other body part.

I don't have story about getting glued to his anatomy, but my baby sister and her boyfriend were processing some jalapeno peppers. The BF was doing most of the cutting and processing... when he had an urge to ..... he forgot to wash his hand before he answered the urge... we got an urgent call of my sister with the BF howling in the background, asking what could he do to relieve the pain....
