Paper cuts - a tree's last revenge

In this post I'm gonna branch out a little bit (no pun intended, or maybe intended, you'll never know) and I'm gonna hate on something that's not a person or their actions. Today what I hate is paper cuts, also known as a tree's last form of revenge (ah now you get that branch pun).

Paper cuts come from paper which is virtually harmless, unless you are a rock, and usually you get paper cuts while doing something like turning a page to a book. I have to say they are one of the most annoying things ever, over exaggeration but they irk me to no end, and from harmless paper no less. Usually you're flipping pages through a book and you're trying to find something in a rush and then BAM a page slices your skin and stops you dead in your tracks and damn do those cuts sting. Its not really that painful, its just more of an annoyance and depending on how bad the cut is sometimes when you're doing something else and the skin around the cut gets tugged and it stings really bad.

The other day I was crafting something out of cardboard and I was running my hand along the edge to break the cardboard box apart when it sliced my finger really deep. A paper cut from corrugated cardboard? Seriously? Well this might technically be a cardboard cut but hey same concept. OK I kind of deserved the paper cut from my own stupidity but it really sucked. I couldn't even get a band aid to stick on my finger due to awkward positioning so the cut would rub against my other finger and irritate me.

Paper cuts are not the end of the world and you might not say they are so bad but wait till you pick up your next book, you better beware.
