tanaiseThere is apparently something about me that encourages strangers to make fun of me in stores. :)
I sliced my finger open on the edge of a ricotta container yesterday while cleaning up. It's one of my usual injuries where I've managed to remove a nearly circular chunk of skin from a knuckle--nothing deep, but blood all over the place, and the cut's where it's most annoying to put a bandaid without impairing my ability to bend my finger.
I also hate bandaids, and have taken to making my own of late with paper towels or toilet paper and the tape I use when my foot needs a little extra support, so I have this fairly large mass of tape and paper on my finger now--not a subtle bandaid (but it doesn't stick to my skin the way bandaids always do). And when I was getting tea, the tea girl asked me what I'd done. She ripped a fingernail off recently, apparently, so I think she's hyper sensitive to bandages. I explain, and I'm laughing about it (it's a plastic container! I just managed to catch the sharp edge of lip of it somehow), and the guy in line behind me says, "Not just that, it's a soft cheese. It's not like it was something hard, or you know, extra sharp."
And this is not the first time people standing in line there have made fun of me. If they weren't funny, I'd probably be insulted. :)

Date: 2006-06-29 06:06 pm (UTC)We keep two by's and four by's in the house (don't even know if I'm spelling that correctly, but they are square bits of gauze my husband brings home from the office...) and bandage tape. Waaaay easier to remove than bandaids. I also dig the new "liquid" bandaids, which I swear is just repackaged superglue...
Sorry about the finger!
