A 23-year-old man says a routine late-night car repair turned into an emergency room visit after an insect flew into his ear and became lodged deep in his ear canal. That’s according to a Reddit post shared in the r/MildlyInfuriating community by user Gharris02.
The user described the incident as unfolding shortly after 10:30 p.m., when he went outside to replace a car battery he had just purchased at auction. He said he was working under a headlamp in an outdoor setting when the situation escalated.
