Today, while giving a speech at work, I started sneezing. After what seemed to be the last sneeze, I went on talking. Apparently it wasn't, and I blew out my eardrum. FML

Today, I sneezed so hard at work that I farted. In the silence in our open space office that followed, my boss looked over, smiled, and said, "Bless you?" The people in the office who weren't wearing headphones burst out laughing, then those people noticed the laughter, took their headphones off, and my boss then had to explain to them why they were laughing.

at least you didn't shoot out a snot-rocket.

I think a snot rocket would be better than blowing out an eardrum.

Not sure about "foreign objects" but you can pop a blood vessel or break a rib from holding it in. Or so I heard…

yea i heard its really bad to hold your sneezes i have tried and it hurts

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't fart either. That happens to some people when they sneeze a lot.

I'm more interested in how you did that? Must have been some major sneeze to create enough pressure in your ear to blow your eardrum. It takes a lot to do that.

I know that feel bro I've popped a rib from sneezing and also given myself a concussion. Fyl indeed
