Has anyone ever had a HANGNAIL?

Just curious.

Yes, yes I have.

Fairly often, in fact.

Forgive my ignorance, but what’s a hangnail?

A hangnail is the skin flap near the edge of your fingernail that catch on things and bleed when torn off. OUCH! I have them ALL the time. I would REALLY like to know what causes them. Can we get a scientific explanation AND solution for this problem please?

I thought everyone on the planet over the age of 4 has had a hangnail. I guess not!

Has anyone ever HAD a hangnail? How about “Has anyone NEVER had a hangnail?” Now that might be interesting.

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

It was just a little fun poke at the current “Has anyone ever had <INSERT PAINFUL, BAD THING HERE> happen to them?” threads that are on the first page of IMHO.

Ok, OK, it seemed much funnier before I hit “submit”.

Have-you-ever-started-a-thread-that-was-as-painful-as-a-hangnail.

Just-curious.
