It's on the middle finger of my right-hand, smack-bang on the tip! That's my 'return button' finger! I type so much I can no longer stop myself hitting the return button with it! It hurts! How can such a little wound sting so much?!

i sympathise. I used to get them all the time when I ran an editorial office for a couple of scientific journals and had to send mail to reviewers all round the world. sometimes I used to bleed on the envelopes and couldnt be bothered to take the letters out and put them in new ones, so I used to think "sod it, they'll just have to think they got bled on in transit".

All those with stationery/convenience food container injuries: I feel your pain. But I am scot-free! Now just watch me stab myself in the eye with a biro 5 mins before home time.

now is your chance to learn to use the right hand little finger for the return key like proper typists!

I will own this thread next week when I have a mailing of 40,000 to go out! Unfortunately, I will be too busy stuffing envelopes to waste time here, so I am pointing out my ownership in advance. Thank you.

This is why I got my degree etc.

Grrr envelope stuffing horror. I had to do a load yesterday, non-self-seal too. Blecch my tongue was sticky for a while, but then I had beer.

I think a degree in Fine Art has prepared me well for messy menial tasks such as this, though.

Liz, Pritt Stick is a marvellous tongue saver.

Hey, I cut my finger on a ten pound note, this morning.

Classy.

I gave someone a papercut on their eyeball about five months ago. It was the first day of class and we had been told to split into groups. My group consisted of me, a goofy German guy who used to be in the army, and a beautiful Scandinavian girl with perfect complexion, charming smile, etc. A "cover girl." I just whirled around with a piece of paper and the edge sliced her full in the eye. She doubled over in pain. Thinking quickly I say "Jesus! Fuck!" Finally I suggest going to the bathroom. We go into the men's bathroom cause it's closest and she rinses her eye out, and apparently I've sliced her contact lens cleanly in half. She's holding half of it in her hand, but she can't find the other half. She opens her eye up with her fingers and asks me to look. I can't see anything down in there. "Fuck," she says. "It really hurts." But we have this assignment to finish in like 45 minutes so she comes back to the classroom with me like a trouper and we finish it. Later she goes to the university clinic and they send her to an eye hospital. She spends about six hours waiting for various people. Eventually some authority fishes out the other half of her contact lens and tells her she's very lucky she was wearing them that day or she might have a scratched cornea.

Believe me I sympathize -- I once got a paper cut on my tongue from licking an envelope flap. *shudders at the memory*
