Sat in a meeting after lunch with a most irritating boss stringy piece of celery stuck in-between my back teeth. Couldn't excuse myself and go to the loo as should have gone after lunch (yes, we are treated like children at times). Tried sucking silently, discreetly using the corner of my finger-nail etc to no avail. Finally, when I had given myself tongue-ache trying to prise it out, I got some purchase with my little finger.....yes, yes aaaaaah!
What things do others find give them such relief? Here's a few for starters:
Getting a splinter out
First coffee of the day
Taking my shoes off
Putting my PJ's on
Getting a super long piece of paper off when stripping the walls instead of all those piddly little bits
Peeling sunburnt skin off - as above, especially the big bits
After falling over as a kid, waiting patiently to pick the crusty scab off without it bleeding/hurting (sorry but I just loved it - had to be crusty/crunchy type though)
The first swim of the year in Calis
