I did something ridiculous today.
I used the cord to pull up the blind in the bathroom and it fell off the wall. I swear I did not yank it or do anything I could be blamed for.
But this is a new blind. Who pulled the cord off the last one? Oh, me.

So I panicked.
The blind falling down dislodged the items on the bathroom shelf and made such a racket. The 'rents were charging up the stairs to make sure I was okay. How to make myself a victim and not be blamed...? I put a tiny spot of shampoo in my eye. I figured it must have been tested so that I wouldn't go blind.
OWWWW! Something went in my eye!

It has hurt and made my eye red and sore all day, despite me going to the chemist and saying I got shampoo in my eye (by accident of course!) and getting an eye-wash.

In truth I have simply suffered for the lie.
I didn't do anything wrong on the blind (window blind) front, and I did not lie about something in my eye, just how it got there.
I am sore and sorry because I could not admit the truth.
And am punished because it does still hurt like buggery and I am Pink Eye Olney.

Not looking for sympathy here, because it serves me right for being duplicitous.
Just sharing because I can't tell anyone else how bloody stupid I am.
