This was more figuratively than literally.

[MrOracle]

Rip it off.

I'm a grown-ass man. If something is wrong, SAY IT. Don't beat around the bush or butter me up or "protect me", just SAY IT. I'm gonna have to deal with it one way or another, so we might as well get that process under way.

When someone can't get to the point, then I get frustrated and upset - far more than whatever it is that they perceive as the "problem."

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I agree with that. I don't like that either!

[VIVANT]

Word 👍🏻

[TCredo]

Now, I'd say 97% of the time just rip it off... but probably closer to 50/50 maybe 20+ years ago... with age can come wisdom lol... so realized it's usually much much better to just rip it off than let it linger.. no matter what the "it" is :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Great answer and very true!!

[TCredo]

Thanks :) And to your update... I must completely change my answer because I thought you meant a literal band-aid... lol... just wise-ass kidding... I knew it was figuratively :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You did not everyone did lol but now I know how to take off an actual band aid🤣

[TCredo]

lol too funny... it is a phrase that is 100% so true whether literally or figuratively... what I wonder is... there is the 3rd option of just leaving it on... literally I guess leaving a band-aid on forever must cause some type of skin problem (?) and figuratively, I guess it would be an option to just ignore something forever... which is probably worse than even the address it slowly option... ok... rambling thoughts over :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You're right tho even rambling cuz think that's what I did left it on top long

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*too long lol

[TCredo]

You stayed on top for too long... impossible... lol but yeah, while I've done things similar unfortunately... and like the result when leave the literal on for too long (i. e. pale white skin shaped like the band-aid lol) you can get a similar result when do that figuratively but... it's why we learn (or try to...) right? :) .

[TCredo]

sorry... even though the timeline shows you corrected it... I was already typing my reply so I beat you to your correction :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol yeah knew that was coming guess might as well go have a penis butter snack now 🙂

[TCredo]

lol... be glad to help out if you are running low :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[TCredo]

Thanks for the MHO which I think this time was a legit one and not a random system picked one lol :)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yep 🙂🙂

[TCredo]

@Brainsbeforebeauty that is very cool... because, as you know, I am a very sensitive social media snowflake/cupcake and getting a MHO is very important to me... I yearn for the social media acceptance... of course, getting a downvote is devastating but the high from getting a MHO is very rewarding...

lol... come on... that was richly funny :)

[DanaeAdam5]

Idc if it's a band aid or a toxic person/situation in my life but my solution is too rip it/him/her off quickly!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Are you'sure" you're only 19?🤔 Because if you are, you gonna be one really Wise ass woman when you get older! Hell you already way wiser than some people twice your age!! Never let anyone take that from you. ♥️🙂

[DanaeAdam5]

Haha yeah Im pretty sure I am 😂

Aw thanks honey. As u long as you promise to not let anyone take away your interesting personality or your humor ❤

[DanaeAdam5]

*as long as you

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

As long as you do same ♥️🤗

[DanaeAdam5]

thanks for MHO 🙂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Welcome 👍

[DizzyDesii]

Peel it off slowly. I know you dont mean literally but i literally pill it off slow its painful

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Exactly and either way literally or figuratively, less pain the quicker you rip it off

[DizzyDesii]

I've never been the type to take the fast route. Just seems wrong and kinda rude. I have to find the right time to let the person know. I get that it wastes time but thats just what i have to do

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It's not so much waste time as maybe give that person false hope it they think you still have feelings you don't have. It hurts both parties in some way when things end. No matter who ends it. A quick break means you both can start the healing process quicker. Well, that's just way I see it. I'm not "always" right. 😁🙂 Lol plus I'm blonde, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[DizzyDesii]

I mean i still care for them so i have to peel it off slowly because i hate to make a hasty decision and regret it. They have no idea whats going through my mind anyways so the only person its really bothering is me because they’ll assume everything is still good

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao funny how many people assumed a real bandaid

[broken_heart_at_48]

I'm more of a rip it off kinda guy unless my skin is getting jacked up from the adhesive usually from extended use in which case I'll soak it or remove in shower rubbing alcohol will help remove it. Years ago I got a skin graft and part of it didn't take so I had to got every other day and get that part cotterized and they're put a bandage on it so the scab would be stuck to the bandage the on my next visit they're rip it off again to make it bleed and the cotterize it again and bandage again and did that fore roughly 2 or 3 weeks it was a lot of fun

[Lliam]

Quickly, literally and figuratively. Just get it done and over with.
On the literal side, I just had the image of slowly peeling the wax when a woman is getting a Brazilian, as opposed to a quick rip. Talk about torture. Lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣 maybe why I've never got waxed.

[JackSmy]

Rip it off. Fast, and over. Had enough tapes and things on me the last six months. Most want to go slow, afraid to hurt me, and I say just rip it off!! I'm 3/4 Viking, and I can take loosing a few hairs, here and there!
Helps me appreciate what women do with waxing!! :) :)

[dwcl99]

Dependa on the situation. But frequently I like to use baby oil, or some other sort of non-polar substance (yay, science) to kind of dissolve the adhesive, so that the bandaid kind of falls off more gently. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer, but it doesn't hurt that way.

But otherwise, it's usually better to just rip it off quickly.

[Kezzz]

Slow and steady. That way at least the pain is somewhat manageable.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You don't think it's more painful that way?

[Kezzz]

Nope. Pull it a little at a time taking a few secs to soothe the pain, it doesn't hurt much.

[StarStormRaven]

I hate beating around the Bush, and hate being lied to. I would rather people be blunt and honest with me because even if what they are saying hurts me, I respect them more for thier honestly no matter what

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Isn't that the truth,!!

[LEADFOOTboi]

i don't see that it matters too much... they usually just fall off on their own... i like electrical tape more...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You know this wasn't bout a real band-aid right? 🤣

[LEADFOOTboi]

q _____ p what? THE POST SAID BANDAID, SO I ANSWERED IT... i'm innocent of any crime

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Other than not reading the whole thing. The update even said figuratively not literally. You skimmed. Busted 🤣🤣

[LEADFOOTboi]

i still don't know what that means...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Have your momma read it to you. She'll get it 🙂

[LEADFOOTboi]

@Brainsbeforebeauty... q u p my mom gets everything... i will

[MisterMunster]

Depends on the mood/severity of the wound. Its like alchohol. Sometimes you just wanna rip it off like a shot. Sometimes you wanna tenderly peel it off and enjoy the sting

[mattmanyah2]

Fast I've step on a nail out in the wood had to pull it out and walk to the truck you do it quickly and grit your teeth you can do anything.

[CherryRoseChampange]

It depends on the situation. I peel it off adverage speed for the most part though. Not too slow and not too fast.

[DarthMeow]

Really slowly.
But nowadays i don't use band aids anymore because it will hurts when i take it off.

[MrSlim]

Neither. I don't use Band-Aids. I use super glue to close wounds that I can't stop the bleeding with pressure alone.

[MadBoy]

I'm a "Stick the band-aid under water and let it soak in so it comes off much more easy" kinda guy. ... Unless you're talking about something metaphorical, in which case... I still keep the band-aids on... I don't know how to take them off.

[najekim]

Rip it off and throw away the crutches! It's time to live!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thanks for getting it lol half the answers have been to soak in water or oil and remove gently 🤣 or if it's close to hair 🤣 do thank you for your great answer which you are right, 👍🙂

[ikEVERYTHING]

Slowly. Ironic since I always use "just rip it like a band aid" as an analogy

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's what this is

[ikEVERYTHING]

Sorry I'm slow

[nawtee_me]

I am a rip it off kind of guy, take the pain and just do it... lol

[nawtee_me]

what about you? can you take it? lol ;)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Of course 🙂

[DerbyDazz]

Rip it off quick. Get it over and done with and move on.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's true thanks 🙂

[alance99]

Rip it off quickly that way there is less pain for me

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

And quicker to start the healing process

[msc545]

Rip it off. No reason to prolong the pain - ripping it off slowly doesn't reduce the pain.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So true! 👍🙂

[sdtabot]

Depends on my mood. Sometimes, I want to feel the pain.

[Jjpayne]

Rip that sucker off quickly, unless it's peeling off nicely, just get it over with

[GreyWolf9000]

Depends on the location of the BAND-AID... if it's in those places where you are scared AF to rip off... I will go slow..

[slicwhenwet]

Jump in the cold spring water no wading in slowly. It is a burdon feeling strong fastly.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You are wise for your age 👍

[slicwhenwet]

Thank you. I need to figure out how to change that.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Why would you change that lol that's a good thing not bad

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me it all depends on the band-aid & if it is skin friendly or not. Some bandages come off easily & some not so easy. I start by pulling off band-aid slowly & towards the end I say fuck it & rip the thing off.

[theCobbler]

Well !! I very seldom use a bandage, unless it won't stop bleeding! So if I douse a bandage I'll be ripping it! lol

[MrsTurkleton]

Slowly and with a lot of warm water. If it's a bad wound, ripping it off can re open it.

[clampfan101]

Depends on the wound. (Yes, I know this is a figurative question.)

[Ianto]

Rip it off! Get it over with. Why prolong the agony?

[cute_short_nerd]

I don’t like to use bandaids, paper towel + electrical tape= painless to take off.

[ecfresh]

Depends on what’s covered by the bandaid. At times I can be sensitive and slowly remove it to limit pain and at other times let’re rip!

[ProfessionalMusician]

I've gotten used to Doctors methods quick no surprise

[dvp724]

Nah man, get that shot out the way and done you feel

[Koalamate]

Rip it off in every aspect of life

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Least you"got" the question 👍👍🙂

[JustRollTheDice]

Rip it off quickly half way, chicken out and slowly peel it off

[leahzrc]

im a "forget there was a bandaid and it disappears somehow somewhere" kind of person

[TacosRAwesome]

Literally... Rip it off
Figuratively - leave it on until it rots and gives me an infection and I die.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Depends on the wound for me

[Liam_Hayden]

I'm a "get-the-pain-over-with" type.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Best thing to do

[MannMitAntworten]

Just rip the fucker off...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yep sometimes that's the only way to really "heal"

[MannMitAntworten]

A wound has to breathe...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Wise words 👍🙂

[loveslongnails]

Grip it and rip it, darlin. No time to wimp out!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Been doing it my whole life. Still bleeding a little tho 🤷🏼‍♀️

[loveslongnails]

Then you removed the bandage too soon, darlin.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Or wore it too long 🤷🏼‍♀️

[COMMODOREII]

Depends on much hair it is caught in it. 😎

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 silly 🤪 you know I mean figuratively 😛 lol

[COMMODOREII]

Well if you pull it off too fast you can end up waxed. 😛😎

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lmao 😂

[Iamagoodguy]

Depends is it on any hair if yes rip it off

If it's on no hair peeling it off slowly you can see the skin rise but it doesn't hurt

[BoxySama]

I am a 420 therapist that into shock therapy 😎✌🏼

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣

[EnglundUberAlles]

Rip it. Rip it real good. It only hurts for a second.

[simplelikeme]

It depends where it's at 😂😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You did get I mean figuratively, right?😁🤣

[simplelikeme]

Yes 😂😂😂 I know... lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Just checking. Thought maybe you were having a blonde moment 🤣🤣
That's usually my fallback excuse 😁

[simplelikeme]

Lol nope... lol I don't use any excuses I just admit when I'm wrong LOL

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't have to do that often 😁 lol jk

[simplelikeme]

Haha 😁😊

[CupcakeKiller]

Definitely quickly. In all applicable contexts.

[arabgoddess]

Slowly is excruciating.. The faster the better

[Cryptic-Game]

It depends how long the band-aid has been on. I usually slowly remove it but sometimes it comes off after a few days by itself.

[Avicenna]

Rip, baby. Rip

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right!

[douride2]

I peel it off slowly.

[EGarzona]

Rip it quick fast and easy

[woody7979]

Depends on where the band-aid is located, lol.

[honestGUY45]

Either way, in between.

[worldscolide]

fast is better

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well, talking about band-aid, yes. Some things can take more time 🙂

[worldscolide]

Oh true.. i thought you were meaning things that cause physical pain.. by the way when talking to my wife and she is trying to tell me something that might be painful... I prefer she just comes out with it so i can deal with it.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I was. You had it right. It was metaphor. You said fast my bad humor attempt slow can be good with some "things". Mind in gutter joke lol
And I agree, rather be told about something straight up, right away

[Jerre]

Comes off rather quickly

[oldermale]

Rip it off lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Better that way in the long run

[oldermale]

Sure is

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sadly sometimes we don't get that when were Young and dumb and full of... 🤣

[oldermale]

LMAO... I'm still dumb sometimes haha

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Aren't we all. Maybe not dumb per say, but still do stupid shit more like lmao

[oldermale]

Way more stupid shit as an adult than I was as a teenager.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣 who says old people are wise 🤣🤣 just kidding 🙂

[oldermale]

I sure as he'll never said we were, bahaha. Cheeky shit hehe xx

[snowboarder720]

Rip it off!!

[BCA6010]

Rip it quickly.

[engel23]

Meaning?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

"'rip the band-aid off" means deal with issues head on and do what you need to instead of letting it fester. The only way you'll heal move past whatever issue in life or relationship or whatever it may be

[engel23]

Yes I just want to make sure. 🤣
Well in that case I try to get over bad stuff fast. I have no time to wase

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Thanks for asking lol I've gotten lots of tips how to remove real Band-Aids tho 🤣 and good answer and true. Life is precious and can be gone in blink of eye

[engel23]

🤣 just look around. Who would it thought of this

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol Guess should of made it more clear but that's what the second pic was, but noone probably read it lol

[Agape93]

Rip it off
