I always put my onions in the fridge so that it is ready when I have to use it..I just prevent it from getting wet so it does not mess up the fridge..

Absolutely a fabulous tip.  We could use more of this type of tips here.

keep them in the refrigerator before you slice into them the juices won't be so juicy expelling the fumes that irritate your eyes, also: use very sharp knife, slice in half and run under cold water to get rid of the juices. If all else fails then put clear goggles over your eyes to keep the fumes away. I have a small little black and decker chopper that works great for onions, carrots, nuts, chocolate and such! (I also love making my homemade tartar sauce in it too)

Thanks for the tips. Good stuff. I will have to try and remember this next time.

I light always 1 candle / tea warmer candle and put them close to my workplace, before I cut onions, and no tear accompanies my work. Great tip - even try out and be aroused enthusiasm.

Yes, this is what i always do. I always cut the root and hold the onion under ice-cold water for a minute or two. I never dropped a tear cutting onions again.
