I once, fatefully, wondered what would happen if I sharpened my little finger (it fit so well) and now I can't even look at the damn things. Anyway, now you have you think about that too. Tbf the way the nail peeled was briefly very satisfying before it went too far...

I've never cringed so hard that I puckered my lips until today. This was worse than the concept of nailclippers on teeth.

Why? Why? Why?

Glad I'm not sleeping for a few hours. I don't need this in my head.

You could've stopped before that last sentence...

I'm pretty sure I once or twice tried sharpening my nail, but I never went too far.

On the other hand (pun intended) I once got the end of my fing the pinched between the pneumatic cylinder and the thing it was actuating. There was a bit of a clearance so it didn't flatten my digit, but it left a good amount of blood under my fingernail, which hurt a lot. A friend advised me to grab a small drill bit and put a hole into the nail so the pressure is relieved, but it didn't want to go through... Until it bit in and I drove it maybe a millimeter into my flesh. That hurt even more... But after a while it got way better.

Oooooof. The skin under your nails is not meant to see the light of day and it shows. That shit is sensitive.
