I remember back when I was younger, a bandaid might stay on my finger for two or more days. These days it feels like no matter where I put them, the second anything rubs against them they just fall right off. And I’m not talking just name brand shit, but everything. I don’t feel like I have used a decent bandaid in years and they’re always frustratingly bad at staying on. In fact, the idea of “ripping off the bandaid” hurting is not something I’ve thought about in years because they never stay on long enough to have to be taken off.

Please let me know if this is real or I am just tweaking

    An actual plaster or gauze is better, but it's not an uncommon tip - dab of super glue in the (cleaned) wound, squeeze it together for a minute, off you go.

    Unless you're using medical super glue you should only do it in emergencies though - the regular stuff will irritate the wound and basically guarantee scarring, and should never be used around the eyes, ears, and nose.
