TIFU by scratching the inside of my nose during a dentist visit.

Today I (40m) fucked up at my dentist appointment this morning while getting crowns put on. I am still trying not to make it a big deal but it’s hilarious. I am in the middle of getting all my teeth redone which is something I’ve been wanting for a while. As my dentist has finished numbing my entire top portion of my face. She leaves to check on someone else whole the effects kick in. I’m just sitting minding my business and my nose started feeling weird. I ran my arm across it, nothing. So I check to see if the coast is clear to get two knuckles deep in this nostril. I put my pinky and still nothing, but I heard the dentist walking back in so I quickly yanked my hand back under the blanket. She burst into laughter “honey did your nose itch?” And I replied “yes it did a bit”. She replied still laughing “I can tell”. What I didn’t notice was that I guess as I retracted my hand. A little piece of my prefrontal cortex decided to come along and lay his happy gooey ass across my upper lip. I’m numb like crazy, I look like a chipmunk because my face is swollen and now this booger just chillin across my top lip like it’s the shit to do. But that’s my fault and I’m here with this embarrassment with no one to share with.

TL;DR: went for dental crown placement today, was numb and decided to pick my nose. Not knowing something attached to my pinky laying on my upper lip while my dentist laughed.
