Nothing says quality like a little blood

[Troubleshooter]

I tried to split my finger open longways Friday afternoon. I was *trying* to pull the panel on my car door that houses the switches for the power windows because one of the switches failed and I wanted to see if I could bypass it and what exactly was broken. My car is a '91 so the plastic is sort of brittle. I'm pulling on this panel like it's a tugrope and it splits and my hand goes flying back slinging blood. Luckily a new stain is not an issue.

The bitch of it is is that it was in the one spot I hate cuts to be. Correction, the second worst spot for cuts to be, but I digress. Anyhow, my dominant hand index finger is split from the joint closest to the end all of the way to the end down the length of the pad. I'm standing there watching blood leak out of me thinking to myself, "This is really going to hurt in about ten seconds, I better put pressure on it before I start the 'OW GODDAMMIT!' dance."
