"I pulled my toenail off"

I didn't mean to. My little toenail was broken, so I was picking at it, when I decided to just pull it off to stop annoying me, and I pulled my whole toenail off.

I think I have leprosy.

I don't use scissors but these little electrical wire cutters. They're just easier to use and make a neater job of it. I have really strong nails due to having never bitten them, so I need the heavy duty things.

I really wish my nails just didn't grow. It's a pain in the ass to have to keep cutting them.

I stumped my toe on New Years Eve and it ripped off one side of the nail, wasn't much blood though, that hurt for a while. Not quite as much as pulling of the whole thing I'd have thought...

That takes skill, to manage to force the scissors that far down into the nail. You must have the power of many.

I used to bite my nails when I was a kid. Then my mum got me this anti-nail stuff that came in a bottle that looked exactly like nail varnish, but clear. I felt gay for a bit, but it worked.

Once when cutting my nails I cut too far down. It bled a little and stung for a bit. That wasn't a good few hours.

Lovely.

I shut my fingernail in a gate at my friends once. It started off swelling a bit, then still hurt 2 days later to my mum finally took me to the doctors who bandaged it and then gave my mum her own bandaging kat with some paste thing so she can change the dressing at home.

A day after that, my mum was changing the dressing and decided to squeeze my finger at which point a load of green pus came oozing out the finger nail.

Then one time I was playing with the bandage at school and then the finger nail started to come off starting at the top. After about a week I finally pulled it off.

Lucky for me it's grown back since :o)

OUCH! Glad I didn't witness that, myself, not good around other people's blood.

I remember while playing football one of my mates kicked a lump of mud when going for the ball. Oh how I laughed as he cried. He then took his shoe off to reveal one very blood soaked sock. Turns out his nail had gone back into his foot a little. I had to carry him to the first aid room. I then laughed a little more when he was out of ear-shot

I think i'll pass...

Just in case you're wrong, cookie man, pull your nail off and we'll test yours vs Grix's. Very scientific, I'll even use mine as a control.
