+434 It's really annoying getting glaucoma tests at the eye doctor (where that machine blows air into your eyes) and they keep telling you to keep your eyes open. It's like, listen, bitch, you're blowing air into my eyes. I'm doing all I can right now not to punch you in the face, amirite?

What does that have to do with anything?

The doctor doesn't tell asians to keep their eyes open, since there's basically no difference either way.

Ahhh. Thank you. That makes so much more sense. And I don't feel stupid for asking!

omg I just had that done a few days ago. That was pretty much my first eye exam in a decade. He was like "okay keep your eyes open, I'm gonna blow some air in them" and I was like e_e and I kept flinching. haha

i hate when they're like "it's coming!" but then they pause for a couple seconds, and i'm sitting in anticipation like "whens it gonna happen?! it's coming! is it coming? when? WHEN?!" and then i inappropriately flinch and yank my head away from the thing, and they just stare as i slowly and awkwardly put my head back like "heh... sorry.."

Haha! Same here, I got that test done the other day, and I literally jumped both times, even though I had steeled myself for the blast of air...

lol I probably did that like 5 times and he was like "heh, it's oookay, here can you see the light? You can? okay now hold still" and that's when I jerk back again.
