I know you can't really loose them but have you had one ripped out?
It was last year on friday the 13th. I went to work and got home early knowing that if i didnt get home soon something bad was going to happen. so what happens? i go to close the front door and lock it up for the night and it scraps over my toe pulling it off.
I was not happy about that. now its growing back all funny like and will never look the same. Even though no one else will see it because i wear shoes alot, i see it everytime i jump in the shower.
so what about you? ever loose a nail?

I lost the nail on my baby toe twice. I stubbed my foot so hard that the nail was hanging straight off. It took a while for bleeding to totally stop. I remember also getiing a bruise around that spot too. It was a matter of weeks before my baby toe a grew a nail again.

are you sure you didn't break your toe? either way ouch. i have stubbed my toes pretty good but nothing that would cause the toenail to come off.

No luckily I didn't break it. I wiggled my toe to make sure. Just a nasty little bruise. I doesn't take much for me to bruise. If I smack into something hard enough it happens. I asked my doctor one time why I do that and she said my blood vessels are right under the skin so one good smack or stubbing, and I got a nice black and blue, sometimes purple bruise.

I've also smacked my baby toe a couple of times but nothing too serious. But it's very painful to hit your baby toe against something hard (like corner or foot of the table) anyway.

I find losing a nail quite gruesome. I've lost my fingernail once, but it didn't get ripped off, I got it polished off with industrial polishing machine. I was constructing something from wood on industrial arts lesson. I was polishing a little wooden detail using a big rotating stationary polishing disk. I was pushing that detail against the surface of the polisher, but that wooden thingy jumped away from under my finger and I got my hand scratched by that polisher. There was lots of blood and stuff. I got my finger bandaged and headed to a doctor. When I arrived, the blood and meat underneath the bandage had already dried up, so removal of the bandage was quite painful procedure.
Anyway, a new nail grew back, it it a little bit smaller than one on the other hand's finger, but there is no big difference between them.
