What popped out from my eye?

One day I got a pain in my eye. I felt that something had got stuck in there but I could not get it out. I tried liquid and rubbing but it was no use. I had this pain for a week sometimes better sometimes worse. I decided to go to a doctor as this is not normal. In the morning I bent down and I felt "the ting" coming out. I catched it with my finger and it was a small black hair stray and it was my husbands hair! It was his fault I had pain for a week! How on earth did I get it to my eye???
