taking some damage

elderwittyI have yet another ree-DONK-u-lous, me-only injury to report.
BACKGROUND:
At work, there's a women's bathroom on each floor, and each has three stalls. This is about the 6th floor.
Last week, the first stall was closed due to water on the floor, even though it has a drain (?). Either the toilet is leaking or the ceiling is. No problem, there are two others.
Yesterday, I went in and the third stall was in use. Okay, I'll use the middle stall - though the door is so oversized that you have to basically straddle the stool to close it. Enter, straddle, close. Realize there's now standing water in *this* stall, too. Fuck that! Went off to a different floor where I don't have to hold my pants up while I pull them down.
TODAY:
Forgot about the issue 'til I walked in and saw the first stall was open again. I wasn't even halfway through the thought, "Wow, they fixed that fast!" when I saw the piece of cardboard laid over the left sink (of two) with OUT OF ORDER on it. You have to laugh.
(No. You have to. That all has nothing to do with the injury - it's just funny.)
ANYWAY:
Go to third stall, check for paper. (I've been stranded before.) It's there, but the (industrial-sized) roll is on too tight or is too heavy, because pulling just leads to shredding. Reached in to push the roll around to free up enough to use, and ran the end of my finger into the edge of the opening.
Friends, I have a Toilet Paper Dispenser Cutter Tooth Gouge/SliceTM!
It's on the tip of my little finger, RIGHT by where the fingernail leaves the nail bed. The bandaid had to be cut in half so the booboo got gauze on it instead of stickum. :D
Only I could manage to achieve such bizarre damage. ::shakes head and chuckles::
