That'll teach me.

I just had a new hole put in my head last month - for years the only extraneous holes I've had were a pair of earlobe piercings quite in the expected and conservative place. Last month, however, I made an attempt to show my grandmother that ear piercing was no big deal, and she should go ahead and have hers done, since she's been thinking about it and all that. So I got a stud put in the cartilage at the top of my left ear - I like it, because/even though it emphasizes the slight pointiness of my ear. I was intending to replace the stud with a hoop when it healed up. However, I just tried to take the stud out for the first time, and clean all the way around and inside the hole, and I can't get the back off. It's stuck. I'm a little alarmed by this - I've been cleaning around the post, but I'd really like to be able to actually clean out the inside of the hole....
The worst thing about this is that my grandmother still wouldn't get her ears done, so the whole thing failed to achieve the desired result.

Nah - it doesn't hurt. The earring isn't stuck in my ear, it's just that the back is stuck onto the earring. The actual post is movable (not like when you first get pierced, and you have to rotate the post the first time - now *that* hurts).
