I have an infected paper cut...

[lucysmam]

It hurts :(

Bloody paper bloody cut

Why do they hurt so much!?

Shallow cut, so lots of nerve endings are left exposed = ridiculous pain for such a tiny wound.

If it's any consolation, OP, I cut myself on a metal ruler yesterday and that hurts in a paper cutty way.

Ooh, well, at least I learned something today Bobbin!

Metal ruler cut sounds worse though.
