I had to get four of the old type of stitches on my left thumb a couple of days before my Sister's wedding, at least it healed enough to not have to wear a bandage on the wedding day some 34 months ago.
Right after I cut myself everybody gathered around me to see my cut while I was washing it even.

... oooh let me see .. come on let me se it... aggghh just let wash this blood off EH!!!
I also split my left middle finger four years ago and never did bothered to get it stitched or looked at as it almost got seriously infected.
