Do you save your band-aids?

[Bird]

After you have used them.

 

[gruesomebrat]

Would there be any good reason to save your used band-aids? I honestly can't think of any..

...yes.

 

[Cogwulf]

I never use them. I wear my ouchies like a man.

Although at the moment I have some old corn plasters on my desk, but that's just because I haven't got around to throwing them away yet

 

[Fukyo]

No, it's gross and unhygienic.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

After you have used them.

How many have you accumulated? Are you accident prone?

 

[WittyUsername]

I dont use them. Why would anyone bother so much for some scratch?

 

[VroumVroum]

Nop.

Why? You're hungry?

 

[Bird]

Pfft. You all just assume I save them.


Perhaps I am purely fascinated by the
concept and wish to understand it better?

 

[SpaceYeti]

... You just want to be contrary today, huh birdy?

If a chick did save band-aids, that'd be cute. Unless she slept with them stuffed in her pillow.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Well, I didn't want to say anything... But I keep them locked in a safe. Just in case. You never know when a robot from the year 2467 demands used band-aids or else the world will be destroyed.

 

[VroumVroum]

Pfft. You all just assume I save them.

No I haven’t. What have I won?


What do you think about maggot therapy?

 

[Dimensional Transition]

No.
I barely use band-aids anyways.

Do I sense some minor trolling here?

 

[lafmeche]

I don't use them except to keep blood from getting on things. I'm a hands-on engineer and I work with medical devices, so sometimes they're necessary. I would never save them.

Even after reading the thread, I have no idea what they could possibly be good for. I also sense that there's something fishy about this thread, but we're INTPs; our thoughts and discussions are supposed to be weird.

 

[Stoic Beverage]

Unless you're cut on your upper face and it's bleeding profusely, I don't really get when a band-aid would be necessary. Any cut small enough for a band-aid to cover is unimportant and doesn't need a cover. Any cut too big for a band-aid.. Well, it's too big for a band-aid.

 

[Meer]

No, I haven't used one in a long time.

 

[JarNew]

Yes and I intentionally leave them places
where people will see them

so that they
are disgusted

 

[Bird]

A small puncture wound requires
bandages.

 

[Anchorite]

Band-aids only exist to convince children their scratches wont bleed them to death.
I don't think I've used one years.

 

[Agent Intellect]

Sounds like some hoarder shit.

That being said, I have a bedroom full of Mountain Dew 2-liter empties.

Spoiler

I think I might be a hoarder.

 

[Words]

This only convinces me further.

I'm not sure you know what "require" means.

 

[Taniwha]

That's yucky...

 

[Melkor]

Yes.

I keep them on my wall, some have Hello KITTY but most of them are Mister Men.

 

[Cognisant]

I cauterize or lick/suck my wounds depending upon severity and location.

With a bottle of sterile water, some sterile thread, a sowing needle, and a lighter, it's quite possible to seal almost any wound that isn't immediately lethal; with skill and a little luck you could even amputate an arm, by yourself, and survive.

Don't ask why I deemed it necessary to learn this.

What nonsense you talk Cognisant.

As if you have any skin to wound, or saliva to salve with!

 

[Cognisant]

I never said it was my skin.

 

[Jennywocky]

Gross.

I guess it's cheaper than dry-cleaning, though.

 

[Lostwitheal]

Why use a plaster/band-aid when superglue exists? Seriously...

 

[shoeless]

i don't tend to use bandaids either, but once i cut my ankle shaving my legs in the shower and it didn't stop bleeding for hours.

so yeah. but then i had to use medical tape and shit because the bandaids weren't enough. so i guess bandaids are pretty useless.

 

[Cogwulf]

They'd be useful if you have a cut somewhere experiences a lot of friction, like on your feet or on your waist.

Superglue is awesome though. Apparently a friend of a friend carries a tube of superglue around with him all the time.
I heard several funny stories about it actually. Once he cut his head on something, so he put some superglue on, but accidentally glued his hand to his head, he tried to phone an ambulance with his other hand, and then glued the phone and his hand to his head too.

 

[Wish]

My bandages save me.

 

[Cognisant]

Well living tissue does repair itself, saving a fortune on maintenance costs, especially if you live somewhere dry & dusty.

 

[Bird]

A SOWING needle, Cog. Interesting. I've oddly encountered a needle made from a sow. (: @ Monsieur Yeti, you're right, they do not necessarily need to be bandaged. @ Wish (:

 

[snafupants]

Because you used to do it?

 

[Gather_Wanderer]

No. I tend to suffer serious gashes and not do anything until I wake hours later in a hospital bed. My skin is often as pale as a gallon of milk.

 

[Wizardry]

You could totally use old band aids as shark bait. Tampons probably be more effective...recycling!

I use super glue.

 

[GYX_Kid]

i never wear band-aids. i'm only wearing one right now, because i gashed my head ice skating and the doctor stitched it up and put one on.

 

[DarkGreen]

Why were you so curious about whether we saved them or not? I want to know.

 

[Nysamis]

I'm trying to think of why someone would want to do that, compulsive hoarding aside. Maybe someone would save them in petri dishes and examine the old bandage under the microscope(?)

Perhaps it could be a younger sister's method of getting back at her older brother who teased her growing up. Invite him over for Christmas, and give him a "present." if he is a germaphobe or has OCD*, he will scream like a little girl. (Ah, sweet sweet irony.) If he's not, the annoying brother would probably think the sister is extremely weird. Then the sister wouldn't have to see his ugly mug for a long time. Spending a holiday with someone with questionable sanitary habits? Even the non-OCD would say yuck.



*Finding ways of grossing out someone with OCD shouldn't be challenging for a young kid. Perhaps the younger sister has mental deficiencies, which could be another reason to save used Band-Aids.

How nice of you to be sure to imply
this (:

 

[descendant]

back in school days it was trend or fashion to wear band-aids especially on the face
now I don't use them but I collect band-aids that are colorful and has a unique design

something like these:

Spoiler

this is not my pic, I found it on google

 

[Bird]

You should take a picture of
your collection!!!!! ^_^

 

[descendant]

well I have to clean my room if I want to find them...

 

[Bird]

I'm worth it.

hehe - I get your humor Nysamis we all need a used band-aid every now and again as exposure treatment for our various neuroticisms, wish I had someone to provide me with that growing up :P

 

[childish_intellect]

Hell the first one is gross. No I just lick my wounds and get it over with
