Are you good at ripping the band aid off?

Master Age: 29

Omg I suck at it both ways. I don’t like just throwing bad news out there to someone. I like to go through the whole story and further explain whats to come after (whatever the bad news is). And physically, I just suck at it. I just spent 30 mins trying to ease this bandaid off my arm. The pain 😭 #FeelFreeToList

Physically, yes. I have had way too much practice.
Verbally…. now, yes. I have definitely gotten better as I have gotten older. I still do it in a respectful manner…. not dickish like many…. although opinions may vary on that one depending on who is receiving the message.

Physically yes for sure Verbally i never had the chance to.
pro tip to soaked the area where the band aid in warm water then it will just fall off after that.

  @DizzyDesii your welcome warm water should make quick work of the glue that they use on bandaids.

As a diabetic since 1997 and take insulin shots, doing blood tests like 3-4 times a year with 9 operations in total and my 10th is gonna be at autumn (hopefully) i tolerate a lot of physical pain and psychological as well. Rip it off and have a coffee, the pain is temporary 🤷‍♂️

Depends on how close I am to the people I am giving the news to. I try to tone it down and make it more bearable, but if you are someone I am. not close to or someone I don't know, well, let's say I would be arrested for first degree murder if words could kill. I am a blunt and brutally honest asshole at the end of the day.

  Want, are we talking literally or figuratively? If literally, just rip that bitch off. If it hurts, bite into something or scream into a pillow

Well, I am not good at verbally ripping off the band aid, cause I just don't like giving bad news to others.
But physically I am a bit better if ripping my own band aid.
Although if I am ripping someone else's band aid physically, I am great, it's too fun to make them shout. 😅😅😅
P. S.- I am not a sadist🤣🤣

Physically I don’t always use bandaids. Still got the scar on my leg that’s the size of a pen. It happened in December from what I remember, I still have the scar on my that happened 1-2 years ago. Verbally if I find out that someone passed away I’ll just say it

  The first scar that I got isn’t the first time it happened but I was at work when it happened. A kid wanted me to try to chase her because I’m never careful it just happens. The 2nd one was because of my neighbor’s dog

I'm good at both. Don't beat around the bush. But I'm also really good with language so I can make it nice and rip the band aid off.

Physically I just rip it off. As for delivering the bad news, I don't mind. If the person I deliver it to is someone that can take, I have no second thoughts about ripping the band aid of. If not, I ease into it.

Both, but when I take my shots I just shave the area before way easier to get the bandage off that way.

I do both without hesitation. Not sure that I would call that good necessarily, especially when it comes to the figurative version.

  Physical as in actually ripping a bandaid off your skin. Verbally as in giving someone bad news

  So yes.
  Well first of all, I don’t think it’s good to rip a literal bandaid off. Pulling too hard or fast could tear the skin. There’s nothing wrong with removing it steadily.
  As for giving bad news I don’t recall ever needing to do that for a big deal, but I can only assume I’d suck at it if I ever do have to.
