The hazards of long fingernails.
I went to the fridge to get a soda, it was the last can in the 12 pack, so I took it out, and tried to take the box out.
When I did, the teens cans of regular Pepsi started to fall and I tried to catch them with my left hand, while still hanging onto the empty box with my right.
I proceeded to slam my left thumbnail straight on, into a shelf.
Head on, direct slam.
This resulted in the following, and will probably cause the loss of the nail, as it has already started to "bubble" and "lift".

To say it's painful is an understatement.
The crack goes down a lot further than it looks, and the right side of it is where it's bubbling and lifting.
I've wrapped 3 band-aids around it after trimming off what I could of the really cracked part, and then taped it to hold the band-aids on secure over night.
Freaking ouch man.

Isn't it amazing that the smallest things hurt the worst? I sure hope it gets better, I am dreading if I happen to break one of mine...
