I've never seen it happen and it never happened to me either, it seems so incredibly rare. Does it hurt much?

I used to get them when I was young in school. Maybe because I was clumsy, or maybe because I handled more paper back then, or maybe paper was just more dangerous in those days.

They sure do suck, though.

The paper was more dangerous back then. Paper has been getting thinner every year since 1900, but during the 70s-90s paper was the optimal thickness to shred human skin. Nowadays, the paper we write on is so thin it's essentially tissue paper and can't hold an edge.

i heard that in prison they fold up paper 1000000 times so that it gets so folded you can stab someone with it but first you dip in in the toilet so when you stab someone with it the stab gets infected and then they super die so i bet someone got killed by a papercut before, i bet you it has happened

With paper, not in a long time. But I work foodservice and aluminum foil cuts are worse.

I've never got one I dunno. I'm more surprised by people in this thread saying they've gotten one before. I was a 90s kid so maybe papers were less sharp like one poster here said

This is why the younger generation is so soft, IMHO. No papercuts to the eyeball to toughen them up.

I've cut my finger on the serrated cutter of the box. Stupid injuries like that make me feel like a drat fool when I just wanted some aluminum foil.

The pain was pretty bad, and it was shocking knowing immediately what was done. But being in 6th grade I just played it off and kept that eye shut for the rest of the next day or two. The miniscus or whatever the outer layer heals extremely fast. I could see the cut right through it.

One time when I was looking at a Hustler as a teen there was a page that was just a closeup of a vagina and someone had cut a slit in the page
