I was sitting at my workbench and sanding some brass tubes for about 10 of a kit that I use. I normally use an angle sander at a low speed and rotate the tubes on 80 grit paper (probably not the best way, but it beat just doing it my hand).
Later I was sitting down with my wife reviewing our day and I noticed a spot on my glasses. They're a reading/close up pair made with safety lenses. To my surprise, it was not a spot, but a chip taken out and a crack running from the chip to the end of the lens. This was the last thing I expected from a low speed sanding of some brass tubes.
I just want to remind everyone that, please, make sure you always have some sort of eye protection on in the shop, even if you don't think you might need it.
