I know I posted a Pulse about this yesterday, but I am still extremely grossed-out by this…this…vomitty-madness-inducing, awesomely unawesome freak accident of unawesomeness!
If you are easily prone to throwing up, you should close your browser now!
My friends…I got a paper cut…on my big toe. *dry heave*
It all happened while I was enjoying a pleasant walk in my apartment…
The textbooks I leave on the ground are the ones I use most. However, I don’t have enough desk space for all of them, so I put them on the carpeted area near my desk for easy access. Book shelves, you say? What are those?
As I was enjoying my stroll, I passed one of my textbook piles. The book on the top happened to have one of those thick, plastic dust jackets which my foot somehow managed to graze as I walked along. And then…
I felt the gross feeling of the plastic sheet slicing my big toe when I passed. It didn’t hurt at all, but I knew what just happened…something about my internal organs sloshing around tipped me off.
Everyone who experiences the nasty slicey feeling of a paper cut always has to look at the wound–because from the time we feel the cut until the moment we actually see it, we are convinced that the slice sensation is the most disgusting thing ever felt. Looking at the wound is just our way of cutting down on the nausea.
Thus, I had to look to see what the damage was. I had to. If I didn’t, I’d run the risk of obsessing over the nightmare of having my toe cut open by a book cover.
*silence*
I couldn’t spell out the sound I made when I discovered I had a paper cut on my big toe. It definitely wasn’t an “I saw a mouse” screech…it was more like a barfing sound without the barf, mixed in with the noises made by a pod of whales.
I say this again: neither the cut nor the cutting hurt at all. My reaction was a response to how sickening it was to see a paper cut on my toe. Paper cuts do not belong on your fingers, and they definitely do not belong on your toes or any other part of the human body!
P.S. No, I’ve never seen the infamous paper cutting segment in the first “Jackass” movie; I always leave the room when it comes on. However, having multiple people give me detailed descriptions of what those guys did is practically the same. *dry heave*

I wonder if anyone else is like me, and then has to actually open the paper cut to see how deep it went… I hope your toe makes a speedy recovery Sylvia
I haven’t had a papercut in a while *knock on wood*. They never made me nauseous like you, but they are certainly unpleasant. I’ve never seen the Jackass movie period. I don’t want to see any of that nasty shit.
The magnified view on of your big toe is epic lol
Oh, and where do you buy your triangle dresses?
I got a paper cut a week or so ago from a cardboard box. That thing hurt soooo bad!
To get a papercut on your toe has to take skill. You’ve got skill, my friend!
i can only imagine what sounds came from a triangle mouth. =)
i’ve never had a paper cut on my toe. i can’t imagine what i’d do…
hahahaha i love the drawings as usual but ecccck. a cut on the TOE? thats weird.
::shivers:: I’m so glad I don’t work with paper. but watch, as soon as I post this, I’ll find some way to give myself a papercut.
@npr32486 - i do! haha…
poor girl. heal quickly yea.
that’s a cute animation
The pictures are adorable. xD And paper cuts do indeed suck.
BLAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH! <—- that’ must’ve been the sound.
Hahahaha… sucks. But paper cuts aren’t too horrid usually. Sure, they hurt like a bitch sometimes, but they heal up just fine.
sorry, But I found this post amusing lol, hope your toe heals quickly.
Eww. I’m still glad you didn’t get it between your toes somehow. Paper cuts are gross.
Something worse than that happened to my foot.
Sorry to hear that, friend. Hope you are OK. I once had a paper cut, too, and it hurt like you-know-where for days. I got it while I was flipping through a magazine. Weird, is it not, how you can get those things by flipping through a magazine? Just got to be careful when it comes to paper of any kind, friend. I learned that when I got my first paper cut. But I hope you are OK!
S.C.
we all know you’re just a big baby about sustaining any injury
i suppose you’re neither a doctor nor a nurse.
I was wondering how you managed to do that
LOL wow!!!
Love the art!! I had one on my tongue from licking an envelop last week.
yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Papercut on tongue next time!
those drawings rock!
i feel you, I’ve sliced open my toe and it sucks!!
@be_lie - if that happened –> Hol-eee shiiit!!!
Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
and
Ooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
That sounds like something I totally would do. I hope your toe gets better!
*shudder*
Ugh.
1. the jackass scene made me cringe so bad I started sweating.
2. You just made me clench my fist and recoil while reading.. UGH.
c. Best. illustrations. EVAR.
RYC: I was running on the grass barefoot and I don’t know how I missed it….but I hit a tree on my big toe and it bled worse than a paper cut >_<
Once I got bitten by a little brown spider and the bite spread (started from a pin prink, then got bigger and bigger) over the course of a month until I had a 2 inch by 2 inch hole on my arm with no skin. The wound refused to heal for a year. A year after my skin grew back, it looked like a burn because the skin was all white and waxy and I couldn’t bend my elbow without the skin splitting open and bleeding.
I’ll take a paper cut on the toe over a spider bite any day
Yuckyness. LOL. Yes, I saw the Jackass movie and that was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned the paper cut. My stomach churned when I saw the enlarged picture of the papercut HaHa
I sometime do it…I hope, u will be ok now.
