Today, I picked up a broken piece of seemingly velvety cactus to show my mom. I now have a million microscopic, painful splinters in my fingers. FML
I agree, your life sucks 11 962

OhHeySlogan tells us more.

I'm the OP. That's what I did and it worked. Haha I'm still finding a few stragglers though.

Put a thick layer of glue on your fingers and let it dry completely. After it's good and dry, peel the glue off and it should pull at least some of the splinters out. Also, call your doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

Dont you know anything about cacti!?!

Nope. Now I do though. I live in Mass the only cacti I've ever seen before were tiny.

I live in mass too, I still managed to get the sense not to touch cacti before the age of 10

Yeah, I get that you're not supposed to touch a normal cactus, I'm not completely retarded. Some of the staff told us about how they pull out the big thorns on some varieties before they plant them so that people won't hurt themselves. There were no visible prickers, it was an honest mistake.

Never the smartest idea to pick up something with needles all over it

Sometimes you can't help it, like breathing in carbon monoxide, you don't know it's there, but your still breathing it
