Flies in Appleby's Eyes

On the way to the bank yesterday to unravel a mystery surrounding an exorbitant bill, I was struck in the eye by something larger than a gnat but smaller than a fly. Unrelenting tears sallied forth. Some quick notes I discovered on involuntarily crying:
- When you do it at the bank you look like you have money problems.
- When you do it in front of a public bathroom mirror you look like you have self esteem problems.
- When you do it on a train you look like you have loneliness problems.
- When you do it while ordering at McDonald's you look like you have eating problems.
- And lastly, when you are caught by a student, eating McDonald's alone and crying, you look like you have a whole boatload of problems. I was able to enjoy all these phenomena yesterday. When my student rolled into the foodcourt I thought I might be able to hide but then I remembered I was wearing my fluorescent hoodie..
It's like a game of Where's Waldo - can you find where I am hiding??

It took a while but I finally reached into my own eye and got it out.
