We have a disinfecting wipes container (the cylinder type where the wipes stick out the top). I pulled a few too many out so I was pushing them back in with my thumb....BAD idea! My thumb got stuck and it has tabs that kept it from pulling back out and the VERY sharp tabs were digging into my thumb. DH and I were trying to get my thumb out for 15 minutes and I was SOBBING, it hurt so much! The tabs were about 1/4 of the way into my thumb. DH finally got som heavy duty shears and cut through the plastic until he got to the ring around my thumb. Anyway, please don't ever do this!

Yeah, you know AFTER I did this stupid thing, I checked the container and there is a warning "DO NOT PUSH FINGERS THROUGH SLIT" Duh! You know what, after the fact, I remember reading that when I bought it!

Oh yeah! Done that. I just yanked my thumb out really fast. It hurt but the pain did go away. Thankfully I didn't cut myself.

Ouch!!! I hope it is healing fast! At least it probably wouldn't get infected considering the source. :)
