    7/10 chance that one of those jagged pieces is going to get caught in something and rip so bad that it will expose your nail bed and bleed like a gunshot wound.

        I once lost a nail during a renovation with dirty worn out leather gloves covered in sweat. I had torn a nail earlier and I didn’t think much of it. When I went to take off my gloves, tired, sweating and without thinking, it torn 3/4 of my nail off my index finger. Since my heart was pounding from my work, it immediately started squirting blood and it hurt like hell.

        Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!
