I get a nice sized splinter (just under half an inch; yes, I measured it) in my middle finger. I can't get it through the hole it went in, so I had to come at it from the top. That was yesterday.

Today, I'm opening a pack of paper and get a lovely slice right there. First of all, whose idea was it to make it hurt this fucking much? Second of all, what did I do to deserve this?

Discuss (my injuries, or your own office scars).

Fix it with Super Glue FTW.

I'm not kidding, it's actually the same stuff in Liquid Bandage, just cheaper.

I think Liquid Bandage has a lot more alcohol in it. It seems if you put it on anything bigger then a little scratch, it stings.

Well if you get a few more paper cuts on top of it, maybe you can get it out...

sounds like he got it out the day it happened, but left himself with a decent little wound from the wood extraction.

paper cuts and splinters are probably two of the worst non-threatening cut-type injuries. they both suck, a lot. lol

Tip o' the day: do not buy lemonade in an overfilled glass.
