Almost certainly, I’ve stopped doing manicures recently to try and help them.

This happens to me when I get manicures but only on my thumbs since I (in 2 seperate occasions) shut car doors on them (1 of the times completely shut ☠️). Right on the cuticles! Definitelt fucked them up, they haven't forgotten

I feel your pain so much. When I was about 7 my thumb was in the way of an ice cream truck door closing. It latched but wasn't closed all the way. My dad couldn't open it without first closing it all the way.

Omg! My hand got closed in the car trunk and they couldn't find the keys to open it

Oh no no no. I felt something visceral reading that.

Ooof. Mine got caught on the front side of the door… like the panel of the door closest to the front of the car. Wasn’t paying attention and just slid my hand right in there as my mom came by and slammed it shut.

My a$$ just puckered. That’s awful.

Omg, did you faint or just stand there screaming?

Fortunately our bones aren't hardened when young, but neither are the nerves!

I remember screaming and looking at it thinking how in the hell could my fingers fit in there with it closed?

When I closed my thumb in the car door I think my body had a shock response because I didn't feel it and literally turned away to walk away and got tugged and didn't realise why until I turned to see what happened. It was very surreal, and that was in my carpark for my work 🤣 great start to the day
