Shattered my work iPad and tried to unlock it like a dumbass. Anyone have any tricks? Been trying tweezers with no luck except a bloody finger. TIA

Have you ever had a splinter before in your life? It's really not that difficult.

You have to buy the Apple tweezers to get that out, they are a little pricey.

- Put your finger in warm water for a while. This will help the skin to soften. Press the sides of the finger skin carefully, where the sliver of glass is stuck. This will put pressure on the center and allow the glass to come out a bit. Then pluck it with the help of a tweezer.

- Hard dough made form wheat flour or moist chewing gum when used will also help the glass come out of your finger.

Carefully remove the glass as even if a small piece is left inside the finger it will be difficult to remove, causing lot of

Glass splinters are truly the worst. I had one in my thumb for months when I was little. You can't see them so that makes removing them extremely hard and very painful.
Good luck bud!

I was in a car wreck when I was 23 years old. Rollover wreck with several shattered windows. I was still having pieces of glass festering up out of my hands a decade plus later.

Same. Went through the T-top of a WS6 in 1999 and had a piece of glass surface on my scalp and come out last week.

It will eventually work itself out if you can't get it. I had a 3 inch sewing needle in my foot for 6 months. It worked it's way back out.

Anger management so you don't go around smashing things.

Crazy.

I had one 2 days ago.
Cut as much skin off the top as you can tolerate. Then squeeze that mfer like a pimple.

I had a big piece of porcelain come shooting out of my hand. Pretty gross, but it worked.
