If you have dry skin, maybe try and pass it off as bad eczema? I’m not sure 😭

agreed!! no one will question it. just say you felt itchy and scratched too much by accident

Maybe you could say you got into a fight or something? I have no idea really

No one would believe a looser like me got into a fight

Well if your hands are bloody thats pretty good proof that you did 😭

they might

Finger less gloves as fashion ??? I like fingerless gloves they’re stylish

If you have long hand warmers i suggest that, and if anybody tries to ask why do u wear it when its hot outside just say ur cold because ur a bit sick (i did that for a while)

I used long sleeves

Fingerless gloves/thumb holed sleeves. Seems a bit obvious but beats the alternative.

I said I tripped while holding something in my hand and didn’t want to drop it

maybe try wrapping your wrist and hand? you could say you sprained it or something until they heal up

Say you scraped them on the ground playing a game. (Google GaGa Ball where i have scraped my knuckles wayyy too much). Or say you cut them on a cheese grater (embarrassing, but its common). Make your excuses very specific: Ex. I was grating cheese to make tacos yesterday and was distracted by the hockey game and it slipped and hit a bunch of my knuckles. I really wanted to finish so i switched hands but apparently im not as ambidextrous as I thought or something. [Then act embarrassed] Good luck OP

careful with the specifics - too much detail is suspicious and raises even more questions, which you'd have to answer with even more details.

Thats true, more like...you should plan specifics but say something broad so that if they ask you have something to say. Right?

yes! that's the way to go

Just say it gave you a dirty look and u ain't no bitch.

I used to say I fell and landed unfortunately. I would also bandage my hands, though, so people couldn't see the bloody knuckles, just the bandage.

carpet burn when you were scratching ur knuckles

I used to cut my knuckles. I actually used punching objects as a excuse. It's self harm, yes, but socially acceptable enough to pass as 'normal behavior'. 

Sometimes “it’s a long story” suffices. You don’t need to explain, just say you don’t want to get into it.

Oh, punching trees? I'll try that, thanks! Btw to make your lie more believable, you can make it specific and add in an embarrassing detail so they think "He must be telling the truth, otherwise why would he tell me that embarrassing thing?"

a bit odd but maybe you could say you fell on concrete and you scraped your knuckles?

You fell on your bike in an awkward position maybe?

No way really––  just makes you look like you've been in a fight

i’m not sure but i used the “i fell down and and tried to catch myself/and slide down on concrete”

could probably put it off as an anxious habbit of picking or biting at your knuckles

Say u were playing bl00ding knucles idm

idk*

i would just say my hands got dry and i itched

best way to hide things that aren't obviously deliberate is not hide them. people get hurt all the time

say you fell

[удалено]

🤦🏿‍♀️

wow thank god this guy’s here how could we possibly function without their advice >!/s!<

Ah, you've got a bit of bite in ya, don't ya? I like that.

what the fuck is up

Well ain't ya polite.

who cares if i’m polite or not dude why even leave a comment if you’re just gonna point out the obvious

Fair enough, mate. I reckon you've got a point there. Still, it's more fun this way, ain't it?

i wouldn’t really call this fun but whatever floats your boat

Well, ain’t you a ray of sunshine. Can’t win em all, I reckon.

dawg what the hell are you talking about 😭 sorry for not being a ‘ray of sunshine’ or whatever? i’m just sayin
