Just in time
When playing squash I had the misfortune of having my opponent mistake my foot for a suitable suffice to stand on.

So a week later with a flappy big toenail (it was only held on at the cuticle) that had a habit of getting caught on things. I decided enough was enough and decided to remove the aforementioned offending article.

This involved a leatherman multitool, a hot shower (before and after) and a high pain threshold. After much pulling I just couldn't get the angle to pull hard enough on my own toe so enlisted some help. The toenail was removed eventually and I didn't have a toenail to speak of for about 6 months.

Length just over an inch after about six months

Ever tried...

I just did. Cringeworthy.

You're the person who taught me the skill.

So long as you never regard your own arse with abject fear, you'll be fine.

I don't.
But other people do, considering my arse could double as a German WW2 shower attachment.
