Which hurts worse, a paper cut or regular cut to your skin? Personally, I find that paper cuts end up hurting me worse than a regular cut, not sure why. And, like cat scratches they often get infected more easily. How about you?

Ohhhh, I hate papers cuts. I would almost rather be gouged with a knife than receive a paper cut. They are the worst!!!

a paper cut for sure i am not sure why that is either, I think it's the way it angles into your skin and the regular cut doesn't hurt as much sense it's not really a angle it's a straight cut... but I've noticed paper cuts do heal faster than a regular cut.. Cat scratches yes they do tend to get infected easy i think it might be from the dirt under the cats nails that do that..

I also find that papercuts hurts worse than any other cut. Why do such a small thin cut hurts the most.

I think paper cuts hurt worse. Maybe it's because you don't always realize right away when it happens. And it always ends up stinging really bad.

Papercuts definitly hurt more.. they sting for so long, and it almost feels like the skin is going to peel off if you happen to brush up against it the wrong way! *shudders* They don't seem to heal as good as normal cuts either..
