i did that once when i was in high school. I worked at a foodland as was cutting open ice cream, as they coe wrapped in plastic in a 6 pack. Well i decided to get stoned and then go to work. I was cutting it down the side and using my other hand to hold it and just kept going all the wat across my hand. Obviously i couldnt tell anyone so i chilled in the bathroom for like half an hour waiting for it to quit bleeding. Box cutters FTL, been there done that.

That sucks dude. But it doesn't look like it's too bad now. hopefully it's not the hand you write with, and if it is, hopefully it doesn't hurt too bad.

nowadays you probably could sue the company for not giving you idiot-proof box cutters!

i'm just kidding though. cheating the system isn't good, unless you spill hot coffee on your lap.

LOTS of Neosporin and band-aids will do the trick!! I use that Neosporin that has pain reliever in it or whatever and it helps.

This reminds me of a bad experience back in high school, when I worked
at the grocery store. I was cutting a box on the floor with my right hand
and my right knee was about 1 ft from the box. I of course had a really
dull blade and it got stuck and wouldn't cut the last few inches. So I pulled
reallllly hard and the box cutter came loose, went flying past my leg.

I gasped really loud and scared the co-worker next to me. At first I didn't
think I cut myself because there was no pain. Then I noticed my pants
were cut, so I put the box cutter away and pulled apart the opening and
saw that my leg was gashed about 2 inches long!!! I couldn't believe there
was no blood, but I could see about a 1/4 inch into my skin

I showed the shift manager and he freaked out.... told me to go straight
to the hospital, where I ended up getting 4 stitches. The dumb thing is....
there was no blood UNTIL they started giving me the stitches

Dang man, I work for Food Lion and am a Butcher so I know what its like to get cut. Tried to take my thumb off in a meat grinder, tried to take off my right pointer finger on the saw and some lots of cutting myself while using the knives. Crap happens, as they said when I started "its not a question of if, but when you well get yourself."

i carved open my thumb once when making a hole in a door panel bigger for a speaker swap.

carved it down deep enough to feel it hit bone,
when i moved my thumb you could see wayyy down in the cut.

but same as you guys. NO BLOOD!
it was very strange.
just a very very clean cut i guess

i was totally in shock the whoel time lol.
