    I’ve had the same happen. I cut myself while peeling a mandarin at some point as well, hurt like a paper cut. Cat hair in the toe is the worst I’ve experienced though.

    Do you own pets?

      I was doing the thing where you cut lines down a fruit and then pull the slices off of the pit. Except, it was a nectarine, and the pit had a spine sharp enough to cut paper.

      I sliced open my index finger nailbed, ~4mm across, on a fucking nectarine pit. Dammit.

    Is your beard that strong or is your thumb skin that weak?

    Also, what’s your favorite dinosaur?

    Hey, this happens to me occasionally as well. Usually it’s shortly after I trim my beard.

    Are you of Italian decent by chance?
