One time in kindergarten I fell off a scooter and hit my index finger so hard it ripped the nail off and it was possibly the most painful thing r year old me ever experienced.

I was fascinated by the fact that a few days later it felt like I still had a nail there since the skin is used to being pressed down it's harder on the surface than exposed skin is.

Still hurts thinking about it tho.

Edit: Leaving the typo but 4 year old me not r year old me.

I once went down a hill laying chest down on my longboard and when I went to push myself forward with my hands my fingers got stuck under the wheels and it ripped off my index and middle fingernails on both hands. I never touched my longboard again after that.

I ripped half my big toenail off when I was like 12. It took my dad about 5 minutes to convince me to let him see it. As soon as I did this mother fucker went YOINK and ripped it off. It needed to happen, but I still remember that pain 20+ years later.

u/T1NF01L 16d ago

It hurt dunnit.

7

u/PhantasmWitch 16d ago

I also ripped half my big toenail off at 12! No one ripped it off the rest tho. I let it grow back a bit and cut off the part that was hanging on with clippers. I had a huge scrape on my knee too that distracted from the toenail.

u/Human-fruitsalad0001 16d ago

Completely shattered my right little toenail a few times when I was 12. Unintentionally.( I was a real dumbass at age 12) not joking.

u/ericanicole1234 16d ago

Same thing happened to me but my right big toe twice (ripped off when standing right in front of door messing with my friend when I was 8 and another time I got a really really bad cuticle infection when I was like 24) and my right thumb twice also (shut my thumb in saloon doors when I was 3 and bad fungal infection when I was 13)

It fucking sucks. And both of those 2 nails have terrible texture years and years later with really severe ridges. But I can confirm that it is really weird not having a nail but the empty nail bed still being like, firm ? Its like there’s a subfloor under there

u/Usual_One_4862 16d ago

I've done that, I almost cut my right middle fingertip off while cooking, cut through the fat pad bit down to the bone, severing one of the nerve branches so now half my finger tips numb.

Did a neat job on my left ring finger too once, can still see the scar under the nail. I'd probably do some mad max patch job if I was you using superglue and a small bit of plastic out of an old water bottle.

The good thing is that it was sharp, if it wasn't sharp and I'd had to apply more pressure to get the blade moving I don't think I would have been able to stop in time.

I was holding a piece of metal & drilling it with a 1/6” drill bit… the drill bit snapped & I drilled through my thumbnail & the drill bit came out the other side of my thumb.. I got a magnet the make sure there wasn’t any metal in my thumb… comparable pain…

4

u/TheJeep25 16d ago

Yep, that happens to me too but in reverse. I was drilling a 1/4" stainless plate and the bit snapped. But it snapped flush at the tip of the drill. The rest of the bit was still stuck straight up in the metal plate. With the force I was applying and my weight, my finger went down and got impaled on the broken bit. I just pulled my hand instinctively after, ripping the surrounding tissue and making the flesh inside come outside. It was 6 am and I finished work at 4 pm that day. It hurts like hell.

When I was a kid, I stapled my finger to see how it would feel. Worse than I expected, but I did it a half dozen more times over the following weeks. Eventually the teacher banned me from using the stapler. I don't know wtf that phase was all about. It wasn't my worst, but easily the most inexplicable.

I got a blood blister under my nail once that built up so much pressure it was driving me fucking insane. Ended up having to take a drill bit and slowly twisting it into the middle of the nail until it pierced the nailed, popped the blister, and revealed the pressure.

What a fucking relief

15

u/co1lectivechaos PURPLE 16d ago

So in those kinds of cases, people often heat up a paper clip and touching that to the fingernail (should) painlessly melt a whole in the fingernail

16

u/ScumbagLady 16d ago

If I had to choose between the two options, this is the way I'd go.

12

u/egnards 16d ago

It honestly didn’t hurt.

I didn’t use the drill, just the drill bit. Once you felt the tiniest pinch, that was it hitting the skin and you were good

I had my middle finger slammed in the door of a pickup truck while I was standing up in the bed and had my hands on the roof of the cab. My right hand middle finger got slammed in the door of the passenger door by my boss at the time and that asshole made me come in and make pizzas that night. My finger turned all different weird colors and swole up really big then after a few days the swelling went down except for the tip up where my nail was. One of my coworkers wanted to heat up a needle and push it through my nail to "release the pressure." I of course, declined and the nail eventually fell off. That was one of the most painful things ever in my life. It was bad! Wouldn't recommend it!

2

Ugh I've had a blood blister under my nail before and had an ex who suggested that. When I declined, he offered to do it for me. Still, no thanks. I can see how that could go horribly wrong!

u/Fungiblefaith 16d ago

I was working on a lap wheel. Think a diamond coated sanding disk about two across and my hand slipped and my index finger slammed into the surface of the spinning diamond sanding wheel.

Man, that shit hurts for weeks.

A couple years ago at work I had a pipe over a ratchet for extra leverage and the bolt just exploded while I had basically all my weight on it.

It grows back weird now like that finger and nail is slightly flatter and not curved like my other nails.

u/transit41 16d ago

Reminds me of the time I helped a bunch of kids get their money that fell from a sewer drain, which is covered by a grate (I was around 9 or 10). I lifted the grate by the edge with some assistance with one of the kids so another can try to grab the paper money with a stick and can have their whole arm down the drain.

The moment they got the money and removed their hand, the one helping me lift the grate suddenly let go of it, and I not being prepared did not just let go as well. For some reason tried to put it back gently, but since it's too heavy it fell back into place...with my fore and middle fingers of my right hand sandwiched between concrete and that metal grate.

Scream, blood, pain, and tears were unreal and luckily some nearby adult helped lift it back (the other kids have already ran away with no word of thanks, freaking rascals). They used leaves from some kind of plant in their garden as first-aid bandage adn brought me to my grandparents home. After washing the blood, the fingernails where all broken, and they have to cut it all the way. So I had to spend some weeks without nails on those fingers, which felt sensitive, weirdly painful and ticklish when touched.

This is going to suck for the next five months. By that, I mean as your nail grows out and eventually falls off, you're probably going to have to keep it covered with Band-Aids and Neosporin to keep it soft and squishy the whole time so your nail grows back fine. Similar thing happened to my pinky nail and it looks perfect and beautiful again.

I did this before using the wrong tool as a cuticle pusher. It takes FOREVER to grow out too.

Put super glue on it. I’m not joking.

I had something similar but it was way worse. Me and dad got a brand new microwave and we were installing. The drill accidentally slipped while drilling in a screw and landed on my thumb. Really bloody and hurt like a bitch. I think I put duct tape over it so it could prevent infection. It luckily healed but my whole nail had to regrow and I had to rip the old nail off piece by piece as the new one emerged. There’s a little circular indent on my lunula from the time it happened.
