No thats stupid
Jenjidai
Why only "as a kid"?
dead0eye
I did!
Brickthedummydog
I used to sew my fingers together to freak people out
xrayallday
Anyone still do this?
SimplyMerlin
Obviously me when I'm bored at work.
magnificentbastard
Every time I went clothes shopping for my mom, I’d find these on the ground and make Freddy Claws through my skin lol
Machinistjesus
No, you freak.
Drivingatank
Remembrance day, with the poppy pins
Dwloan
Makes me wonder why you're still doing this...
ProfCumAlot
I lay in bed and try to take my socks off using only my feet.
callmethelizardqueen
I thought I was the only one too lazy to reach down to pull them off!
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
I am a master at that. and many other things involving my feet
AlexisActually
PoppinLochNessHopster
Take big toe, stab underneath on the inner side, slide around to heel, slip off.
thenamenooneknows
Almost as satisfying as letting glue dry on your hand and peeling it off
skipweasel
Usually with needle and thread rather than pins.
TheRealAngelS
This! A friend of mine once managed to make an outline all around her hand. It was awesome.
Coltaine
I got my scissors confiscated because I used them to trim my calluses.
MrKielbasa
Yeah but I can't pin point when though.
Spele
It was so satisfying. Still don't know why.
hofbrauhauss
Took hot glue gun and trapped flies
ButtholeMarsBarDispenser
Yes! I used to pretend i had magnetic powers and amaze my friends, for like 10 seconds before they figured it out.
prfesser
Never thought of that! Wish I had. CLE---VER!!!
dryrunner
Before the internet that's what we did roughly 50% of the tim.

DoTheImpossibleSeeTheInvisibleRowRowFightThePower
no, what the fuck are y'all doin'?
Rexery
I almost got suspended my freshman year because I fit 34 of them into my left thumb
Nebbo
Why would that be worthy of a suspension?
Rexery
My Extraordinarily old Home Ec teacher freaked out and said I was hurting myself. Lol. Love her to death
prfesser
That shit isn't supposed to impress people but...that impressed me...
witheredspoon
all the damn time
Apostraphie1217

overlordchris666
Who didn't?
DougDeNasty
I do it at work, but if I admit it I have to do paperwork.
ModusPonens
It's more fun with safety pins because they have more of a planar shape and then you can turn it like it's this hinge embedded in your skin.
thecornhusk
Right!
rainballs
I still do it to freak my boyfriend out
antagonisticcontrarian
We would heat them up ..then stick em in...
TailDog
Im 37 and just did it
StealthyNinja7
Hahah whoosh
Shimobe
More often with needles.
WhatDepressionImFine
Yes! With a little bit of thread too and then pretend to have webbed fingers.
Goldenhead17
I ended up doing this even when I was trying to get a splinter out
niightrider
and then spin it till it breaks
TheCommentWoman
All the fucking time, although not with nails, usually with safety pins and such.
k5user
yeah, safety pins all the time...
MyNipplesLookLikeMilkDuds
I was more of a staple kid, myself.
Counterfit
Safety pins, and sharpened mechanical pencil lead
nolanurse
The real question is who didn't do this as a kid?
TrashAtItsFinest
Me. Aichmophobia, bitches.
HelpImInABox
All these people replying that thought it was super weird and gross: you're definitely a reason why I did it lol
ProfessionalJalapenoWrangler
I honestly didn't
RappingLibrarian
They can't respond, they're in jail now
kuba913
Me. I have fear of pointy or sharp things near my skin.
Winamp
What? How do you take your heroin?
kuba913
Wait what do you mean? I mean, how do you eat it, what is sharp or pointy? You eat it with a freaking knife?
Plurii
When I say this I was like "yo what the fuck dude"
WinchesterTavern
FromMatterSpace
Me... what the fuck people...
Ryanator50
it doesn't hurt at all. it's only the top layer.
FromMatterSpace
Oh no, I'm fully aware of that. But again, what the fuck people...
Ryanator50
it's fun! you can do damage to yourself without feeling pain!
skylin05
I didn't. I can't understand at all why you would want to do this.
Ryanator50
because it doesn't hurt
sweetnaivety
pretty I never did that thinking it would make me bleed
Lilshadow48
I didn't. I wasn't this weird.
meganly
I never did and it creeps me out when I see others do it
WeirdEnigma
I didn't, however I did put staples in my arm though...
LemonThieves

AbsolutVlodka

I gotta hand it to him, I find that leg strength disturbing.
SAFE4WORK
He wants his money back at the second HAND store
Wylhjelm
Dude, we're not idiots, no need for caps
Zemiax
I am. I need it. I’m HANDS down the worse at picking up jokes.
SkepticalPancake
Yeah, some of us can't get a HANDle on the joke.
SAFE4WORK
Good luck getting him in hand cuffs
WendyTheWendigo
This is gold
Lanka
\o ..mostly because I'm afraid of needles. So poking things through my own skin was bit of a 'hell no'.
BenSuspended
me. Although I grant plenty of other kids did it. I thought they were weird as fuck though for doing it.
PickIeRick
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
giraffesarentreal
Right in class I just see kids stabbing themselves with thumb tacks and showing it off like they were monks or some shit
BermondseyRising
Same
WatsonRaymes
WristDeepInaPussy
Same.
KangInDaNarth
With a name like that
WristDeepInaPussy
Whatever do you mean?
smallblip
ItzEdInYourBed
Same, found it really weird.
atvcrash
same here
ilikeyourpics
Actually no, am I alone on this?
prfesser
Not alone, but apparently in the minority. I did it (needles were easier) as did most of my 13 siblings.
SlanderBox
Never was a kid. Mom just squated and dropped me off at work. Been a grind every since.

I got bored in sewing class one day, and... well.
StalkerMagnet
Underrated comment, this is basically art
vandude9090
calm down ed gein
AltHorrorPunk
Skin-stitching is a real thing. It’s pretty neat what some people do.
Narky1
I did that too. Had a new one every day.
Monicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ahahhahahaha nasty! i love it!
StalkerMagnet
Why did so many of us do this?
MonetaryPolicyAct1913
No internet.
SBSP129
It was around just INCREDIBLY SLOW!
PoppinLochNessHopster
I didn't even realize I stopped doing this... wow. and the last time I did it I was probably 16-17, 27 now. Weird how it's mostly kids?
BananaForScaIe
Did you get parental consent?!
thatguywhoisnttoowitty
We are all secretly into needle play
OtterlyMagnificent
Only some of us are secretly...
thatguywhoisnttoowitty
I mean, now that we aren't 10
lemonsherbet
We are all 99.9xx% the same creature.
overlordchris666
Because we watched "Silence of the lambs" as kids??
ionlylovemybedandmymama
Uhh this goes back like 20 years before that movie at least..
overlordchris666
Okay, then that's my excuse then, since I was allowed to watch Rated R movies as long as I didn't cuse. Face Wearing scene was awesome!
ClubbedSandwich
Because we're not as unique as we like to believe.
HULKSMASHMOUTH
Better question: Why does everyone (pre internet) know the words to "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells"?
SexualPeanut
Stupidity.
isurvivedcrazytown
Because we’re dipshits
FluentPenguin
Because we’re all perverts.
Nephus
I used to pretend stab pencils in my eyes. Freaked my teachers out. I was a weird kid. Stranger adult.
skylin05
As one of the people who never did this I don't know.
terramarkov
The one person you mean
Faulancer
We knew what was good these days
puppyflips
And at what point in life did we stop doing it? And why?
AntiPiety
I still do it under my callouses then I rip them out
Drougals
We stopped? We don't do this every time we randomly come across a needle or loose guitar string
OtterlyMagnificent
That's how I hang onto needles when I'm sewing...Also there's this fetish...
PoppinLochNessHopster
I remember the last time I did it I was probably 17 or so, haven't done it in a decade, some brain development effect?
DarkwingDuc
Probably around puberty or so, when other, more pressing, things occupied our minds.
thegates
Agree. Couldn't have nails in our fingers when we discovered masturbation!
nigglemaster
Still occupies our minds.
yarow12
Like video games.
MoustachePotato
And sex. Or the lack of sex, of which we know as porn and your right hand. Left if you are talented
NachoCheeseFilledGuy
And hands
heyimgurokthxbye
To scare the other kids
bigdaddyfatpants
I didn't because the rest of you are sickos, and like self mutilation. Maybe I tried it once or twice.
prfesser
Self mutilation??? It's about as mutilating as picking a scab.
ionlylovemybedandmymama
Uh then you can't say you didn't and considering this doesn't actually damage anything it can't be considered mutilation. Calm your tits bro
TheChappy
Kids like to experiment. It's part of learning
joevair
No No NO, that new notebook BS thingie will show it in 3D!! For God's sake, Kids, Do NOT try anything new or remotely dangerous.
jeffasaurusrex

Solivoid
At this point, people are just forcing that image into any given situation, no matter the context.
ElbowdeepinElmo
If I learnt anything as a kid it's that doors are vicious, bloodthirsty fuckers you can't trust.
Atwthepig
Are we talking about The Doors? Those fuckers are relentless.
MurphyPandorasLawBox
Are we talking wood doors or the ever elusive glass door?
ElbowdeepinElmo
Steel doors, in my experience. Snapped off someone's fingertips with one in 3rd grade and had one jammed into my hand in 2nd. Some other
ElbowdeepinElmo
not THAT terrible memories around but I don't trust doors :P
coachMcguiRk47
What about real fake doors ?
JungleSinged
DaftMonk85
Learning
SilentMajority420
Hey kids, do want to 'experiment' and 'learn' something with this LSD?
BuzzardsGottaEat
Great point. It's teaches kids that there are different layers of skin without them even knowing they just had a biology lesson.
ozzmosis211
I am going to go with, "Because there was no imgur."
SBSP129
Is that your final answer?
Solivoid
Because "our friends found it gross, as such their reactions were hilarious". But, yeah, no memes gotta entertain yourself.
damnyuoautocorrect
Imgur is the modern equivalent of putting needles through the first layer of your skin. I can see that.
ArbiterCalypso
Dude isn’t wrong
Hippieplatypus
Yea, I haven't done this since I started imgur... conspiracy?
ArbiterCalypso
Conspiracy? Absolutely
SadDeskLunch
Hotel...
waltjrimmer
It's just a common realization that you have a layer of dead skin, sharp things can get under there without getting into living tissue, >
Nathanfake
wait, you mean you didn't put in the live tissue?! :P
pookieeatworld
Well you're not SUPPOSED to...
BlunderbussVigilante
Pff look at you Mr boss guy
ThisIsGod
For me, it was about learning that I could needles into myself...didn't really help with my heroin addiction, but still...
waltjrimmer
>then we just try to figure out what to do it with. I never thought of using nails. But I used pins all the time. Got thirty in one hand!
ThySausagePrince
Bobby pins. I had lots of little sisters in reusable diapers...
theshinobi23
Nice. My goal was never quantity of pins, but how long I could make one pin tunnel without breaking. Only once did I get the whole pin in.
NiHZ
Safety pins were the best, and they'd stay for hours~
waltjrimmer
Very impressive!
KayRaven
How did you get it out?
IMMOISTERTHANANOYSTERRIGHTNOW
By pulling out I’m guessing
witheredspoon
also peeled dried elmers glue off my hands like it was skin.
sddsffds
Wow i can relate except i ate the glue.
Combatmatt
I was in a lil tech class in middle school and one of the smartest girls was sitting there, doing that, for almost an hour. Over and over.
nothingtodoandalldaytodoit
As a kid?! Hell, I was doing this 20 minutes ago on my lunch break- Some guy that just made this up probably.
RachiePiroBean
Also made little balls or rubber cement. Stuck pushpins in them to make little people.
CodingMoose
packaging tape to peel the oil and dead skin off too
BabyFartMan
You gotta alternate layers of glue and red marker. Eventually it'll look like a nasty scab and you can freak your teacher out!
Lionskull
i used to do that with candle wax, drip it onto my hand, then pull my hand out, make a cast.
BklynPunisher
Pro tip: if you or your child gets a splinter, layer on some elmer's glue. After it dries, peel it off taking the splinter with it.
Froggie243
I got in trouble so many times for this as a kid
DingoAteMyDog
I ate Elmer’s glue once... I was like 5 years old tho
Apostraphie1217
Same with candle wax etc
howcanyourunwithanarrowinyourknee
Also, yes
Caerphilian1
#notasponsor other brands of pva are readily available
deliriousstormdrain
In the UK we call the same glue Pva, it looks like a second skin, then you peel it off.
FromEarthDimensionC132
Doing this daily is probably why I didn’t do too well at school.
againchina
Who tempers copydex?
ButtholeMarsBarDispenser
My god that shit felt good.
Rubberducky2010
Also would write on my desks with it and peel off the letters. We'd sometimes leave notes for friends in the next class that way.
wellthatsirrelephant
Or put marker on top of the gap in your pencil case, then add in the glue and when it dried itwould be tye dye book markers
Rikkom
I had never thought to do that EVER. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really have friends
IllegalDuckling
Someone glued a word into my hair once
SincerelyHated
I would write on my desk with rubber cement then light it on fire.. good times!
FatShady591
Oooookay...
SincerelyHated
Yeaaahhh... I wasn't very popular, shockingly.
djsdkdjsk
I would smash my desk with my head until i can write with my blood and set the school on fire.
