As a kid, I was trying to get glue out of one of those Testor's metal tubes. You know - the ones where the metal end always clogs. Squeezed so hard the back end blew out and sprayed model glue all over my shirt. Good thing I had no chest hair in those days - it peeled right off once it dried. Trashed the shirt, though.
Worst since then was setting a cross-drilled brake rotor into a parts washer. It slipped and landed flat on a shelf with about 1/2 of mineral spirits on it. The mineral spirits shot up through every hole in the rotor, soaking my face and eyes. My eyes hurt for hours, and I smelled like dirty car parts for two days.
I also once misjudged the direction of the nozzle on a can of Brakleen and got myself DIRECTLY in the eyes. Burned like hell, and everything looked fuzzy for hours. Big scare.
