A paper-cut from card stock? Hurts.

Like. A. Bitch.

That is all.

Agreed. The only worse "paper" cut I've ever had was from aluminum foil.

[ilythia]

What a terrible thought!

[wyliekat]

The feeling ain't so grand, neither.

[trista]

Oh, dear god, that sucks. I've only done it a few times, but I distinctly remember wanting to amputate my finger each time.

The only thing worse....

[lastwordy_mcgee]

...is one from actual cardboard. You'd think you'd actually cut OFF the finger.

Re: The only thing worse....

[trista]

Yes! Cardboard and foil are the worstest evar.

Now I can't stop thinking about cardboard paper-cuts, and as a result I'm shuddering and whimpering and will most likely be locked in a padded room unless I can get it together and stop being so crazy.

I'mm too distracted by the STABBING CRAMPS to think about paper cuts.

Stupid reproductive bits.

Chocolate! You need chocolate.

Ooh! Have you tried Choxie Hot Chocolate? It's a bar of truffly chocolate with a hint of smoky chipotle, and it is sublime.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ewww - no.

I've had those, too, from file folders. I hate that so much.

[trista]

Oh, file folders are awful! I was always covered in file folder paper-cuts when I worked in the claims unit and had squillions of claims to file in the Room o' Filing Cabinets each week.

[ilythia]

I don't even like thinking about it! =O There's something particularly horrible about papercuts.

[trista]

There is, isn't there? I think part of it is that they hurt so much, but there's no visible evidence of this terrible, terrible pain. I always feel like my finger should be hanging from a little flap of skin and I should have, at the very least, a Snoopy Band-Aid and a lollipop.

[moocowrich]

I have phantom/sympathy pains from reading about all these cuts in the comments. OUCH.

[trista]

I know! I cringe and shudder with every comment, and yet I continue to read them and reply with even more paper-cut-related comments. I am, it would seem, a glutton for paper-cutty punishment.

[stegzy]

Avoid salted crisps for a bit!

[trista]

Yes! And tomatoes and citrus fruits and onions and all sorts of things. Ow.

[lastwordy_mcgee]

And absolutely no nail polish remover!

[trista]

Oh, good god no! The thought actually makes me queasy.
