I accidentally cut my finger with a pair of scissors

A few days ago I had a strong craving for some raw cheddar cheese that I had at home. I took it out of the fridge ready to cut myself a piece. The plastic wrapping was in the way though and I wanted to cut it off before slicing the cheese. I decided to use scissors for that. I was ready to start cutting off the plastic when I noticed that the scissors had some green stuff on the blades. I decided to wipe it off before proceeding to use them, as the scissors would end up touching the cheese. Instead of taking a bounty to wipe it off though I decided to use my fingers, mainly my thumb. That was a terrible idea of course because I ended cutting my thumb with one of the blades. I didn't scream until after the cut happened. There were actually two cuts but only one had blood coming out of it and it stung. Good thing the cuts weren't very deep or I'd be in trouble. After that, I no longer craved for the raw cheddar cheese but I cut myself a piece anyway and ate it. I should have known from the start that wiping the scissors with my fingers wouldn't end well... I am an adult after all.

I still can't believe I did something that was sure to lead to me cutting myself... That should have been obvious to me.

I remember I had done that before and didn't cut myself... so I must have thought this time would be no different. But in reality I had no idea what I was thinking. Perhaps I wasn't thinking at all. The only thing on my mind must have been the cheese.

Thankfully, the cut wasn't that bad. Could have been way worse. But what I was doing was an accident waiting to happen.

OMG, just reading that gave me shivers, I can't handle cuts from scissors, knives or razor blades. Hope your fingers will be ok, and now you know NOT to use your fingers. Sorry

These kind of accidents happen sometimes. Be careful next time

I will. This time it wasn't about being careful. I did something I shouldn't have done. If you slide your finger along a blade it's bound to get cut.

@lovebuglena Even I did this once with a new knife. So I can very well understand how you must be feeling. Sometimes our brain goes for a break..lol
