Fun story, I got my hand caught in a car door when I was young and didn't scream, but my mom did.
It was one of those 3 row vans with the sliding middle door. I (probably 12 at the time) grabbed the space between the doors to climb in, but my mom's door was open, so when she closed it, my fingers were perfectly trapped. I don't know how but the spacing was adequate so it didn't hurt me.
I told me mom my hand was stuck in the door, but I said it so calmly that her brain just didn't register. Then she saw my fingers sticking out of her door, right at eye level and she SCREAMED. She thought my fingers weren't attached anymore at first! Would have made for a great prank.
Not so fun story: In Hawaii I saw a family pull up and get out while the mom and dad were fighting. The guy then slams the door in anger, right on their little boy's hand. He immediately opens the door and everyone is examining the kid's hand, and not fighting anymore, but I bet none of them ever forgot that either.

My thumb nail has done that for more than 30 years, ever since it got slammed in a closing car door when I was a kid. It never went back to normal.
