Yes. It was a gift I had got from a guy I didn't agree with when I was younger :).
-
Self-inflicted... I'd rather not say why or how.
-
i have one right now...i got it because i had an arguement with my brother. i think i deserved it though..
-
More than one. Not usually from fighting or aggressive behaviour.
-
Yeah I was six, I got hit in the eye with a baseball...you could even see the seams.
-
yep, i got it from my cat(dont ask how)
-
Once I walked into a frisbee.
-
Someone punched it.... Funnily enough it didnt hurt til the next day.
-
I have got a black eye loads of time but the worst one was when i was playing soccer and the ball went straight in my face but my Dad had has worst because when he was seven a brick got lobbed in his face!
-
I have never had a black eye, thankfully.
-
I've had more than one..I was holding my nephew when he was a baby and he jerked his head into my eye. And I was riding my dirt bike and wiped out into a rock and hit my face breaking the bone from my eye to my teeth..That left me with a big swollen black reddish eye.
-
When I turned away some big guy hit me. We called it a sly rap. He was bigger than me in the 9th grade but they did nothing because he was on the basketball team, he should have been suspended. That's when I started to learn about how the system worked and about the illusion of justice. I never turned away from someone again and always struck first after that. I grew up in Brooklyn New York or is it nu yawk.
-
Walked into an overhead door ouch!
-
My dad beat me up.
-
Once. I broke my nose playing softball in 1990.
-
Yes one time i had a blackeye in both eyes my mom was trying to break up me and my sister from fighting, and my sister hit me in the eye and my mom accidently hit me in the other one I really looked weird.we get along so good now.
-
Once, that I can remember. I stopped at a college barn dance in Lamar, Colorado, and a jealous boyfriend took offense at my strategic success with his girlfriend. We both suffered, though, and after I left to spend the night in a dorm, the whole school started beating each other up. Many black eyes that night.
-
Yeah my dad gave it to me.
-
Yes, I had a black eye once. My eyelid was scratched by a branch from the pear tree we were trimming, little tiny almost could not see it scratch. The next morning my eye was swollen shut and had a huge bruise around it. It turns out I am allergic to pear tree sap. I had two weeks of explaining the 'shiner' to everyone.
-
yes, bought at "overstock.com"
-
nope i did not have never
-
Yes. In Elementary school I was playing catch with a softball and I had the sun in my eye and couldn't see the ball and it hit me square on the eye. Ouch.
-
Rode into a flying bumble bee on a motorbike at 80 mph. I thought I had been shot. Straight in the eye. Nasty !
-

I got in a bar fight... five all star American football player muscle men decided to start on me because I’m Scottish, crippled, and I hang out with an English man an Irishman... we got the shit kicked out... it really hurts and I think they have broken one of my ribs!

Oh yes. Two at once. I was a very naive battered wife.

Sucker punch via air delivery ;(

-
running in the nude.... must remember to strap it to my leg next time...
-
I fell off a ladder when a swarm of hornets came out from behind a shutter I was removing a couple of years ago. Landed on my head against the sidewalk. Sprained my right arm, put a 2" shutter screw through the base of my left thumb, had an egg on my forehead that made my right eye swell shut, and woke up the next day with a black eye... it took ages to heal up again... :-p
-
When I was 2 or 3 years old, my dog and I were running out the back door to the porch outside. While running through the doorway I tripped over my dog, fell down, and hit my eye on the edge of a nearby stool.
-
I think I got one when I caught the bottom of a boxed book with the bottom part of my eye (orbital?) socket.
-
yes when I was about 10 years old...I threw a machete type knife into the ground..it back ricocheted and hit me in the side of my nose..just missed my eye..but I sure had a shiner...Stupid things kids will do:(
-
yes the last one was from my son he was four months old and threw himself back in my arms, his head hit me straight in the eye.
-
Sucka punched when I was 14. It was in school and I did not fight back because I was trying to be a model citizen and not get into anymore trouble. The kid that did punch me did not get suspended because he was on the basketball team....enough said. I learned a good lesson about life, never turn your back to anybody and never expect justice.
-
I don't get black eyes, I give them.
-
I put my foot on a shelf to tie my shoe, the shelf fell, I fell forward and popped my nose into another shelf. Somehow, I got a black eye. I've never had a person give me one.
-
Sure. I boxed a little at the community center, various fights and I was hit in the eye with a baseball once too.
-
One night, my wife (who had been asleep) awakened, sat up in bed, cocked her arm, and slugged me in the eye. I had a shiner for almost two weeks!
-
************The medical term for black eyes, especially after trauma like in an MVA/No Safety belt..Bilateral Peri-orbital Haematoma.*************** I was about 13 years old and I was, as usual, pushing my sister's buttons. She lost her temper and all 35-40 kg of her 11 year old body landed on my left orbital(eye socket). I have never picked on her again.
-
Oh more than one..thanks to my ex. The worst one, though was when I was about 10. I was walking along with my hands in my coat pockets and tripped over my shoelace. It happen so quickly I didn't have time to take my hands out of my pockets so I hit the concrete right on the left side of my face. Put me in the hospital with a concussion and the resulting shiner was incredible. I have this obsession with untied shoes now and have been known to tell a stranger (especially a kid) that they need to tie their shoe.

Oh, Cyndi...you are a girl...you know not of what you speak...I have had more black eyes than I can remember. I have given plenty, too,...as well as bloody noses and split lips. Where I grew up, boys had to know how to fight..I was lucky...I had older brothers who taught me well. I always gave better than I got.
-
I used to play Rugby and I was a policeman for 30 years. What do you think?

I believe a horse gave me one or sort of a black eye. It was part of the socket and the eyebrow. He whacked me with his head, shaking or twisting it.
