Wet Fingers and Plugs
Author: Matt19 Feb
Early morning Monday morning, I wake up and look groggily into the mirror. What stares back at me is a near Neanderthal man with sproutly facial hair and a dodgy hairstyle to boot. I fill the sink with hot water and grab a shower, finishing and adding some shaving gel to my face.
I wipe the steam from the mirror, a half decent looking man stares back at me. I go to pull the plug out of the sink and realise there isn’t a cord to pull it out with. For five minutes I try using my vice like grip to pull it out, all I am left with is a sore finger.
Giving up, I use a screwdriver to get it out, looking at my finger, a small blister has formed and it stings a little.
Fast forward 24 hours. My finger now looks like this:
It’s infected probably from when I assembled my TV stand, all I know is that it bloody hurts! Docs appointment tomorrow so I should get some antibiotics to get rid of it all.

So, what you are saying, is that a sink-plug overpowered you, injured you, and you got an infection from a TV stand?
hehe the next time Jo calls me a wimp, I’m going to point her in this direction! hhehe
Haha i keep telling him he’s a wimp!
Haha, it was a clean wound and the next morning my finger had elephantitis!
Went to the docs, she said it was gammy but not too infected. Put ice on it if it flares up, other than that get on your way you wimp!
I was expecting something far more gory! Wall socket plugs, the works!
heheh well, if your lady thinks you’re a wimp, the doc thinks you’re a wimp, and everyone that reads your blog thinks you’re a wimp….
I think it’s a pretty clear verdict. Going to the docs over a plug-induced injury. I’d have at least waited till Gangerine set in so it at least LOOKED the part
To be honest, it wasn’t all that bad, it was just the nature of not even bleeding to having a really swollen finger that got me!
