Thought you'd all want to hear about this. It's sad when you don't have a life at 26 years old and talk about shit like this on the internet.
So my wife is out on an errand and I'm home alone with the kids. Get my son down for bed and start picking at my little toe on my right foot. Get a good grip on the nail and start tearing it off from left to right...look down and I've torn almost the entire thing off and it's bleeding. Nothing new, done this many times before.
Here is where it gets weird. I tear the nail almost all the way off and it's hung up on the skin at the right side. I try pulling it straight up for a change instead of continuing to go side to side. I can't ****ing pull it out with my fingers
Now puzzled, with my fingers slipping on the blood, I decide to go to the toolbox and get a pair of needlenose pilers. On the way there I start thinking about the VC/charlie commie ****ers at the Hanoi Hilton, but I decide to do it anyways. Get the pilers, put my foot up on the bathtub and start pulling straight up (perpindicular to the way the nail grows in). It doesn't hurt as I'm trying to pull it out, but the damn thing won't budge. Pull harder and it starts to come out (imagine pulling a nail out of a 2 x 4 real slowly). Finally get this ****ing monstrosity out of me and the part of the nail I had to use the pliers to remove was almost as big as the nail which was exposed before I started all of this. I had about 3/8 of an inch of an in-grown toenail starting to wrap around my right little toe, well under the skin of course!
Anyways, thanks for reading and have a nice night.
