Super glue has this strange ability to never bond together what I'm trying to glue but sticks to everything else.

I used to work at lowes. Our forklift forks were often dragged on concrete in outside garden such that the ends of them become razor sharp over the years. One time somebody left the fork up, and as I walked around an isle corner, my arm brushed along it. I didn't even realize until I had blood everywhere, because the cut was so clean. Immediately went to the adhesives isle, grabbed some super glue, and glued the wound shut instead of getting stitches. It healed perfectly.
