Well, I have no unusual piercings, just three in each ear, two at the bottom and one in each cartilage, but I did have a couple incidents. After a long night of partying with no regards to the fact of having to get up at 6:00 am to be at work, I overslept about a half-hour, not too sure if I shut the alarm, hit the snooze too many times, or just plain never set the damn thing. As I jumped up in a daze, ran out of my room and headed for the bathroom, I was about two steps from my room when I realized my pillow was hanging from my head tangled in my earrings. Apparently the pillowcase slid off enough to expose the cotton pillow itself, perfect for my earrings to grab hold of, luckily it was light and didn't really hurt. If anyone has the cartilage pierced in their ears you must know how painful it can be if it gets snagged, and the fact that it takes so damn long to heal. I was changing my shirt one day in a hurry to go somewhere, got the top earring snagged and it pulled the clasp through the cartilage at the top of my ear, there I was practically in tears with my shirt stuck over my head. I tried getting it myself without ripping it out completely but gave up after a few minutes and headed for my front porch to flag down the next motorist to help, no shit I was desperate and in pain...lol, it get's better, the first car I see coming is a cop, I was thinking oh great, this ones gonna sound funny being radioed in but luckily it came loose before I had to flag him down. I'll never forget that shit, too bad nobody was there with a video camera..lol.
Thank god I have a down-to-earth boss... she just laughed as I walked past her to go to the restroom and remove the gum....
I would take them out for job interviews, and they would grow shut in a matter of two days. (even after the designated time that I was allowed to take them out)
