A whole new level of ow

This morning, I injured my flip-off finger.
(Aside: Last week, a coworker raised her index finger and asked me, “This is called your forefinger, right?” I answered yes. A few seconds later she laughed, held up her middle finger and asked, “So what’s this one?” “That’s the flip-off finger.” “Good to know.”)
Anyway. I did a stupid thing, the kind of stupid thing that you don’t see coming, and then after it happens, you think, “How did that even happen?”
And then part of my fingernail was missing. I don’t even know where it went. It was that stupid. And more painful than I expected.
So I guess it’s good that I didn’t need to flip anyone off today.
