My thought regarding this form of self abuse is that if your “puckered starfish” is being violated, you’re probably wiping too aggressively. I know dingleberries can be frustrating, especially when already late for work, but you’ve got to maintain coolness in trying situations.
That said, I always try to keep my fingernails trimmed to the quick. Puncturing a bulging hemorrhoid with high blood pressure is not a good way to start your day or mine. It generally necessitates a second, if not third, flush and is hard to explain to your boss without stuttering when she asks why it is you came in late.
