When I was in 4th grade, I somehow accidentally stabbed the palm of my hand with a pencil. It wasn’t a horrific incident but it was stuck in there pretty good. Decades later, I realized there’s still a bit of that pencil stuck under my skin.
I figured I must be the only person who accidentally stabbed myself with a pencil, but the internet has once again proved me wrong. There’s an entire subreddit dedicated to people like me…or should I say…us?
