The fuel lines stay pressurized even when the cap is off. All parts of the fuel system aren't open to each other.
I once was pulling parts from a car in a junkyard. It had been there at least a couple of months, and didn't even have the fuel tank in it. When I pulled a fuel line under the hood it sprayed me.

...because you failed to protect your eyes with goggles?
Sorry, that was harsh. I definitely don't always take the time to don the requisite eye protection when working on cars either. Your experience is a good reminder that we all should. Nearly all eye injuries are preventable.
