When I was a kid, like ~6 years old, I walked into my parent's room and saw a little bottle of eye drops on the night stand. I guess I was curious, but for some reason I decided to apply them to my eyes.

The bottle was harder to squeeze than I expected, but when a tiny drop finally came out I missed my eye and got it on the edge of my eyelid. Turns out it was superglue and not eye drops. Luckily, it was such as small amount that I was able to wash it off and pretend like it never happened.

I still don't know why some super glue bottles look so similar to eye drops.
