The inspiration for this thread is currently sitting smugly on the front of my foot. I don't walk much, obviously, but it's still a pain in the ass. What's your least favorite small, painful evening-ruiner? Papercuts? Stepping on LEGOs? Any stories?
 
I have a paper cut right now on my pointer finger. I finally put a band-aid on it... haven't worn a band-aid since I was a kid.

I've been digging at it with a nail clipper for an hour. Gonna get some neosporin on it, make sure it doesn't get infected or anything. Watching Starship Troopers in the background is really helping me put it in perspective, though.

Mine got infected so that was a train wreck of shit proportions. It was gross, after a while I could feel the blood swooshing around too.
Being in Canada I was just grateful it happened in the summertime so I could wear sandals and not have to 'wrap up' my pained foot in a boot.

Ingrowns suck. Period.

Not much on an injury, but I hate bending my nail backwards. *shiver*

That reminds me, anyone get the super small but pretty painful tongue inflammations? Those suck butt.

I never had a serious one. I just clipped, sanded down, tried to get anything else out. I think after I used a toothpick or something thin to keep the nail from seeping back down, and iced it while it was kind of propped up. Then I put ointment.
 
Styes, shit sucks man.

Stubbing your toe.

stubbed my pinky toe getting out of bed for a wiz a few months ago, didn't pay much attention to it because I was half asleep. Started swelling up later in the day and it turned out I had dislocated + fractured it. fun stuff.
 
Had 3 ingrowing toenails removed, they hurt like hell. For me, the worst is biting the inside of my mouth while eating, which seems to happen every time I am in a restaurant.
 
Stubbed my toe on my desk and my toenail split and part of it came off and/or hanged so it bled. Awful week or so of pain.

Oh god I fucking hate those. I bit one off one time because it hurt so much.

I do too! Funny enough I was watching Million Dollar Baby when the idea came to me... :/
Yeah, biting them off does the trick, it's gross, and it hurts a bunch for a split second --- then instant relief.

I broke (or maybe it was dislocated) my pinky toe about 4 years ago, and for some reason it eventually developed a benign bone tumor. Now I'm getting the whole toe cut off later this month. :)

Does getting caught with your finger in a door count? Started bleeding like crazy.

I got my finger caught in a minivan sliding door once, didn't really even hurt. I guess the engineers anticipated little ones' fingers getting caught... but yeah that shit sucks otherwise

Biting my tongue or inside of cheeks.

If I bite the inside of my cheek, it swells up & then it gets bitten more easily. Which makes it swell up even more, which....

I mean, where will it end? Who will draw the line?
 
When you accidentally bite your lip while eating. It swells up, then you just bite it over and over again, no matter how much you try not to.
 
Stubbing my toe was the worst. Used to happen often until I was 20-ish, and because it usually happened in the bathroom I used to get my toe bloody and infected with pus and everything. Hurt like hell and was icky too.

OP - I've had pretty bad ingrown nails since I was a kid. Improper cleaning of the ingrown toenail can actually make it more severe, which is why I have to live with ingrown toenails the rest of my life. But it's not a problem because I've learned to clean it by myself. I actually enjoy doing it now.

You need the proper tools. Regular nail clippers are next to useless. You need Nail nippers and a nail pusher.

There's a type of of nail pusher sold in my country that has a slanted "blade" and in is even thinner than what I could find online, and it's the perfect tool for digging out the ingrown toenail. It's pretty sharp so if you're not careful you'll puncture your skin and make it worse for you though.

Whenever I have to live for an extended period in another country I make sure to bring my nippers and nail pushers with me. They're that important!

Of course it counts. I once had my thumb caught in the door of a honda accord in the parking lot of a chuck e cheese's on my fifth birthday. Tore off half the skin. Hell of a way to start a party.
