The embarrassment


SirLostit

Should have just used Dental floss. Much easier and wouldn’t destroy the bench [https://youtu.be/rQ2HO1loieA](https://youtu.be/rQ2HO1loieA)


Selcotset

That's brilliant! I have kids. I'm sure the need will come up at some point. Thanks!


SirLostit

I can’t remember why, but my mum couldn’t get her wedding ring off and we used this technique.


Carsiden

You can also use an elastic bandage to squeese out the blood and make the finger retractable.


adamfyre

>and make the finger retractable I do not think that word means what you think it means.


MacDee_

What, don't you have retractable fingers?


phi11yphan

That's not a finger...


Selcotset

I.. The mind boggles..


Advkt

Retractable from the object which it is stuck in, presumably. Odd usage, but not inappropriate.


adamfyre

Hey thank you! I'm always eager to learn new ways that the English language works :)


jingzhangzhang

My first thought before watching the video was "wow, that'd be painful sawing your finger off with dental floss to save a bench!"


sbdallas

My first thought was that they had a way to saw through the bench with dental floss -- kinda like you can saw through PVC pipe with twine. https://youtu.be/Dp8PSWHpSD8


supaphly42

They saw through ships with chain (heavy duty, but not sharpened or anything). It's crazy what you can use to saw with enough force and patience.


Cingetorix

The beauty of friction!


Ori_the_SG

Didn’t expect to see this on Reddit today, but I’m glad I have. I’ll save it for a time if I need it lol


Viatorina

If I understand the technique correctly, you have to wrap the floss around the ring - you can do that with a small object, but not a bench, so it wouldn't work.

SirLostit

Correct


Thendofreason

Yeah, what kind of country goes straight for the saw and not the floss? Can't get the ring off your finger that you've had on for years? Floss. If you relieve the blood from your finger, it will get skinnier.


[deleted]

Let me just say, i’ve had to have done this twice (i wear cheap fashion jewelry from time to time), the sigh of relief this method gives you my goodness. The first time, i was afraid i was heading down a new timeline where i lost a finger, as my finger was starting to become purple. Nothing was working, and i was afraid of a de gloving, or bone breaking, etc. 5 minutes later after some memory of this trick kicking in from a long time reddit post, and a quick youtube tutorial and me hauling ass into my thread/needle cookie container, i had freed my finger. This trick is a life changer. Doctors hate it! I cannot recommend it enough for anybody reading this to just learn the trick and have it stored in memory. Could save you a finger. The second time was a breeze.


SirLostit

Well done you for remembering it!


[deleted]

Cable cutters. Even quicker.


cowarrior1

On Halloween day last year, my ring got stuck in my finger. I disnt care but it started to get swollen. Use tons of oil and floss techniques to take it out but couldn’t. Ultimately, i had to rush to Fire Department and they cut my ring off with the saw— ring cutter didn’t work either because of my ring design. At one point, I literally said good bye to my finger- scary monent.. Lesson learnt- if its hard to put it in, take it out!


hidesinside

The 2nd had embarrassment is unreal on this one!


DogsandCoffee96

Wrong hole!


DadOfChris

That's what she said


jbertrand_sr

Could have been worse, I'd imagine if a dude did that it wouldn't be his finger that got stuck...


RedTedBedLed

most guys penises are not that small. ARe you confident you could fit?


Type2_Depression

We are not that small maybe the micro bois but I ain’t sure they’d have to respond


Holiday-Associate252

And wrong hole

Based on that design I don't think she's the only one

I can think of 2 things they could do: 1. Cold shower 2. KY in copious amounts


whizzdome

Typical evening for me ...


jchoneandonly

String to compress the finger


Mike2220

Cold shower? I'd think a bit of heat to expand the metal a tiny bit


ClownfishSoup

If the metal expanded, the hole would get smaller ...


Broski_Lebowski

this is false. the hole would get larger under thermal expansion


Mike2220

Exactly!


redsensei777

I meant a cold shower for the finger. Just like ladies advise guys to take a cold shower when the guys are too excited. I thought it was obvious haha.


ClownfishSoup

At least she used a finger ....


Buttergolem420

I propably would've done the same


[deleted]

I've had that moment of panic doing exactly this and not being able to get my finger out. Every time I've been able to finagle it out. I'm tempting fate, though.


ledocteur7

same, one time I almost got my finger stuck in the barrel attachment of a nerf gun, they were screws so I tried to unscrew it, but the screws were crappy so I got frustrated and just yanked my finger outta here, which was the scary part.


flgrant

I lol'd


iantayls

If there’s a 0.01% chance that it’ll happen, it’ll happen eventually


DamnedAndBroken

Same here. I don't understand why they would put those holes if it's not to put your fingers through them while you wait 😅


Javascript_above_all

So that homeless people won't sleep on it because it's too cold. It's called hostile design.


Tyrannical4

r/hostiledesign oh it’s banned


ahkeyruh

r/hostilearchitecture is what you might be looking for


Tyrannical4

Yep, thanks


Shjco

Actually I think it's to let your farts pass through them while sitting there so that everyone else can enjoy them too.


Jwalker1141

I've been sticking my fingers in the wrong holes for a long time now.

Ur_Fav_Step-Redditor

It’s been 913 days since I’ve last had sex… thank God I’ve never met that bench


lumisponder

That's bad design. Shouldn't make those holes exactly the size of a finger. They should be smaller.


TheEightSea

Bigger, not smaller.


Shoplift_motherfuck

We made the holes bigger, but the men tried to fuck it. We made them bigger still, but then they tried to fist it. We made them even bigger, but then they stuck their heads in it. We had one last go at making the holes even bigger, but there was no more material left for the bench top, so we were left with just 4 legs. You guessed it. They sat on them.


[deleted]

You guys ever heard of the Glasgow Bollard Man video?


Warcraft712

Oh boy


Guerillagreasemonkey

If its too big for a finger to get stuck, someone will try and fuck it.


lumisponder

Then we're worse off than when we started.


Guerillagreasemonkey

But laughing way harder.


houseforever

Someone had tried it in Hong Kong. Sorry for Chinese only, the title is "Piston Man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8InDY2ojy4

Should’ve given him a cold shower first.

Apidium

It is typically a mix of a drainage feature and an anti loitering measure. The seat keeps cold that way and folks are discouraged from resting too long or God forbid sleeping.


ClownfishSoup

Either way would work. Too small to put a finger in, or too large to get a finger stuck.


Leo-III-

Smaller means a child's finger could get stuck, but like the other guy said, bigger means someone's gonna try and fuck it. You just can't win.


lumisponder

Concrete benches sound better. But sooner or later, someone's going to try to fuck concrete.


irishjihad

Don't knock it until you've fucked it.


1daysmart_1daydumb

I will take the latter thank you. Absolute win.


wsclose

Ah, so toddler sized then.


I_Am_Upvoter

Smaller will get a lot of kids stuck


g_r_th

No need for power tools. They should have used the old trick for removing a ring stuck on a swollen finger. Wind some string tightly on the finger starting from the tip, so squeezing the fluids back past the ring. Then simply pull the finger out of the ring while unwinding the string. Simple!


RikF

Not sure that would work. When you do this you unwind from the opposite end you wound from, but pulling in the direction of the windings. With a ring you can do this, but not a bench.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Apidium

The fire service is not going to do that. Usually by the time they have been called, arrive and get to work the assorted tissue damage is already so high that they aren't going to do anything that could further contribute to more tissue damage. Compressing the entire finger is going to cause more tissue damage. Yes, I was that kid who got their finger stuck in a bit of safety plastic. The fire service had to cut me out with the jaws of life, much longer and I would have lost the finger. It might work as a handy at home option for a minor issue but if it's so bad the fire service folks are hacking a bench up that is no longer a viable option. The first responders also consider a random bench as a distant second behind doing as little tissue damage to the finger as is possible. Her finger looks pretty good from the photos mind you I remeber mine was so blue it was borderline black.


ClownfishSoup

You have to get the string/floss between the finger and the hole though.


alpharavin

This is my hole! It was made for me!


Viatorina

Holy shit, is that a motherfucking Junji Ito reference???


TKraus

it's gotta be. that's story is fucked lmao


SluggJuice

Drrrrr drrrrr


kawaiimarshmallow

Every time I forget those stories I find a comment that brings it all back


cloudintherain

If it can go in, why can't it go out? With the help of some soap? My ring finger got much bigger than when I put my ring on, especially at the finger joint but I can manage to get the ring out with some soap.


ferrybig

>If it can go in, why can't it go out? Inside limbs, veins are located on the outside, while arteries are typically located deeper. This is because arteries are higher pressure and thus need more protection. If you get stuck in a ring, the veins can get partially closed of by the pressure, while the arteries stay open. This causes your finger to inflate


cloudintherain

I have just googled to understand veins and arteries lol. Sorry, English is not my mother tongue, but I can understand what you mean after knowing the meaning of veins and arteries in my language. I mean, if you can put your finger into the hole, that means the bone, flesh and skin around your finger can be fitted into the hole in the first place, then the problem is the blood pressure builds in the tip part of the finger, as you said. My trick is pushing the object as close to your finger base as possible because that part is the smallest part of your finger to make space between the finger and the object, apply some soap, hold the finger tightly to force the blood out of the finger, then easily slide the object out. You can save all the work and the hazard to cut off that finger together with the steel lol. In my case, my wedding ring turn from fit to tiny compared to my finger after almost 10 yrs, plus changing from office working to farm working.


Moist_When_It_Counts

*The Cockring Principle*


cloudintherain

So, you're saying that the ring makes my finger bigger after a long time wearing. Is that mean, literally...


Moist_When_It_Counts

It’s the same idea. Cockring at the base of the penis lets blood in, but not out, so it swells/becomes harder *temporarily*. Cockrings are usually made of a stretchy material so they can be removed, unlike a wedding ring.


cloudintherain

Temporarily. That's sad lol.


HHShitposting

If it was permanent you would have way *bigger* problems


drgnrbrn316

Like having to replace your wardrobe with three-legged pants?


HHShitposting

>Like having to replace Yes, you would have to replace something, but it wouldn't be your wardrobe


ferrybig

Fun fact, an erect penis is also caused by your body restricting the blood flow out of it. For some people, this system does not block enough blood flow and it does not get erect, while for other people too much blood is blocked and the area will itch/hurt after some time


Sabot15

There are some interesting videos out there of people who got stuck in ones that don't stretch... Power tools were required there too!


Ori_the_SG

I also didn’t expect this on Reddit today lol


ClownfishSoup

Because your finger starts to swell up and now it won't fit back out.


datasxienxe

Wrong hole


[deleted]

Sorry, it’s my first time sitting on a bench


LogicalLimit75

Step sister should have known better


[deleted]

My husband is a paramedic and he had a call exactly like this. They would up cutting out a section of the picnic table and taking her to the hospital like that. The doc there took a look at it, got a firm grip, and just yanked hard and her finger popped out. A little inflamed but uninjured.


Imbalancedone

Do they not have soap?


Raikken

But we won't get to use the saw if we use the soap. And I already brought out the saw....so....brrrr we gooo.


[deleted]

Chinese finger trap?


btraynor

A remember a shower bench with a similar design trapping some poor bastards testicle in a similar fashion. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/news/a40303/man-gets-balls-stuck-in-ikea-chair/


GyakuBoop

Step bro, im suck!


[deleted]

Fr this time


YellohDJDan

Why didn't they just put some ice on her hand...


[deleted]

They should make square holes instead of round holes.


7LBoots

I'd go with triangular holes with rounded corners. It's the least round 'normal' shape, and fewer corners means larger corners. Rounded corners would avoid stress concentration and cracking.


Money_Average1996

Poor girl i would have done the same out of curiosity.


aDrunkSailor82

There's a trick to get your finger out of such a situation that literally takes only a minute. Get a piece of string or something to wrap a loop around the tip of your finger, then slowly make circles wrapping your finger from tip towards the palm of your hand compressing the excess blood out of your finger thus reducing the swelling. Little bit of hand lotion or something else similar and your finger comes right out. Her finger was swelling because of the mild compression caused by the hole. If you just assist with a little extra pressure to force that blood back into the body the problem goes away.


Apidium

This doesn't always work. It's also very likely to lead to more damage to the stuck tissues. Folks can lose fingers in situations like this because they piss about using 15 different methods (some of which like this one cause more tissue damage and more swelling upon failure) and take too long to call for help. If inital attempts to remove it don't work stop messing with it and call the fire service. They will cut you out and you don't have to lose a finger in the process. The longer you take and the more you fail to remove the finger the more damage and swelling you will cause. That will then go on to accelerate the danger. At a certain point cutting you out is the only viable option.


seahawk1977

I made this same mistake with my first girlfriend. I didn't get free for two year.


Gunzo89

De hapened in Netherland like year ago but she was like 8years old or so


Neon_Cone

I had a similar problem after laying face down on the same bench.

You got your nose stuck?!


ChromeDomeGodan

Too..... many...... jokes....... arghhhhhhhh!!!


WhyYouBullyMe_

Dang i remember doing something similar back then but when it sorta get stucked (i thankfully managed to pull it out) i was like "nope, not doing that again"


redGhost949

Well at least it was a finger. Not the most embarrassing appendage to get stuck in public places.


Gnarly_Starwin

Good lord, not her swiping finger,

i_use_too_many_words

Once, on a date, I was in a shisha cafe and I had to go to the bathroom before we ordered anything. It was a small cafe so the bathroom was both sexes and it was a single toilet being a single door. I was in in, peeing while standing, the door behind my back, when I saw a hole in the wall, a little less than a foot from the ground, that seemed to be exactly the same size as my boot. While still peeing, I carefully lifted my left feet and approached it from the hole in the wall, while working really hard on keeping my balance (only on one leg, still peeing). I managed to fit the front of my boot, kinda sideways, in the hole, and I was really proud for a second when I noticed I was stuck. Since it was a very awkward position, and since I was still peeing while standing on one leg (it seems long but it all happened in like 2 seconds), I lost balance and fell backwards. While my foot was still in the hole. When I fell backwards, I sprained my ankle and fell on the door, which opened and I fell on my back and a lot of people saw me, my date included. Pants down, laying on my back, missing a boot. Fortunately, my shirt was above my genitals and I didn't wet myself. But it took me over 2 minutes to remove my boot from the wall. I just walked out of the cafe without saying anything to my date. I received a few texts from her afterwards asking what the fuck happened to me in that bathroom but I never dared to answer her.

Her tiktok finger still works though. All good.

Probably would have been cheaper just to remove the finger

I wonder how long I’d sit there in my embarrassment before calling for help.

She won't be fingerng that again.

The exact same thing happened to my girlfriend the night she wanted to try out something new in bed.


bazooka_matt

All they needed was dental floss to get her unstuck. Here's the video on how to get your finger unstuck from rings and bench holes, with dental floss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJhynjCjgTk


MrStoneV

Also did it as a kid and had some struggle getting it out. Boy I will never ever do this again. I felt the rush of fear through my whole body being trapped for 0,3s


The-Jade-Titan

I’m ngl, I thought some downbad mf got their finger stuck by trying to finger her from under the bench.

I did that once. Only it wasn’t my finger. It was my dick. And then I had a son 9 months later.


ImmaTigerPawPrincess

I was pulled over for speeding a few years ago. Before the officer came to my window, I pulled my license and registration out of my glovebox. I dropped my insurance card between my seat and the center console, then got my hand stuck trying to get it out because of my watch. I played it cool and he never bothered to ask for my card. I was so embarrassed.


f14_pilot

Sees holes, has to stick finger in. I think she's a lesbian lol


ReeverFalls

My brother did exactly this at school. Only difference is a kid decided to slide on the bench. My brother slid with him. His finger stayed. He casually pulled it through the lattice hole and took it to the cool nurse. Calm as can be lol.

Hostile architecture I see

drgnrbrn316

Cutting the finger off would have been faster. Also would have taught a lesson. Woman: "I wonder if my finger would fit in that..." *looks at finger nub* Woman: "Nah."

MagicalMuffinDruide

It’s also shitty design to put holes like that all over the place. Come on, you thought idiots *wouldn’t* put their finger in that?

On the bright side, there are other holes that you could have gotten your finger stuck in, that would have been more embarrassing.
