Rate: The Grossness of Picking Scabs

[ScarySquirrel]

On a scale from 1 to 10 - with 10 being the absolute sickest thing ever (like the ultimate Aristocrats joke) rate how gross picking scabs is.

Oh, and wait for the poll... suckers.

My five year inside me is obsessed with this for some reason. I'm trying to stop, but it's so dang HARD. We all have to have something weird about us though, right? That's what I tell myself in the meanwhile...

i'm curious as to how you so frequently have scabs as to have this problem. do you wear shorts and fall over a lot?

I don't have gigantic scabs or anything, but I seem to accumulate a lot of small scabs (mainly on my arms).

A combination of being careless, pointed edges, and living with a dog who occasionally likes to play rough will make these things happen I suppose. I also am pretty good at getting mystery wounds... I wake up and find myself bleeding. Sometimes I don't even notice I've hurt myself until a wound has already started to form a scab... and then the problems start.

MY FRIEND IS A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST AND ONE TIME HAD THIS PATIENT WITH A FRESHLY DONE TRACHEOSTOMY AND THE OPENING IN HIS NECK WASNT HEALING PROPERLY AND WAS INTERFERING WITH TUBE PLACEMENT SO SHE HAD TO PICK OFF HIS NECK HOLE SCAB SO IT WOULD RE-HEAL PROPERLY AROUND THE TUBE

YOU CANT PAY ME ENOUGH TO DO THAT SORTA SHIT

I don't remember the last time I had a scab.

[TurdBerglar]

road rash scabs are the best

when i broke my leg the bone went through the skin in 3 places. i had a cast, but with a hole cut out of it where my ankle is, so they could change the dressing twice a day. when it began to heal, they took off the cast to put the full cast on, one of the wounds had fully healed and the nurse picked the scab off.

i was like, fuck you nurse, that was my scab to pick!

it's a way of life, man

Damn! What in the hell happened to you?

I thank God I've never had to go through something like that.

I'm pretty sure I'd poop my pants. :(

one day i went across the road to the deli and bought a crunchie ice cream (they were new at the time) and when i was crossing back, a car ran me over.

the car was driven by my ex-scripture teacher. not sure what you guys call it - but its basically religious education, anyway it was not compulsory so i got my heathen parents to write me a note so i didn't have to learn about god anymore. so while it was found to be an accident, i have my doubts...

i don't remember anything after reaching into the freezer for the ice-cream.

next thing i know i wake up in intensive care. the car hit me and i flew down the road, smacked my head on the road and fractured my skull. i was still conscious at this point. i remember i'd just been to gym and had brand new white leggings on - man i bet they looked awful bloody when the ambos had to cut them off me :(

they took me to hospital and after a brief argument over my weight (to work out how much drugs i could handle i suspect) i fell into a coma and remained in a coma for 3 days or so.

i missed my ballet recital which occurred while i was in the coma and spent my holiday break in a coma/in bed.

i still don't believe in god.

How was the ice cream?

[hitmonlee]

LOL
well my next door neighbour picked it up and put it in her handbag - thinking it was a regular crunchie not an ice-cream one. anyway she gave it to my bro who realised it was all squishy and he put it in the freezer and ate it, as far as i know.
he was in soooo much trouble for letting me go to the deli at night (mum and dad were out - the police had to go and get my mother from a play she was attending which instantly sent her into major panic mode).

was a while before i could eat a crunchie ice-cream again. but tehy are delicious (y)

I gave it a four. I mean, it's a little gross, or else where's the fun?
