getting a paper cut and then stubbing you toe on the way to get a band-aid

From a pain perspective, I'd say a paper cut is worse. Not only can it cut deep enough to bleed (sometimes a LOT), but depending on the type of paper, it can leave paper fibres inside the cut. This makes the healing process more painful, and can lead to a painful infection if it isn't cleaned right away.
From a medical perspective, I'd say a stubbed toe is worse. Believe it or not, if you stub your toe hard enough, you can break it. If you've never had a broken toe, you'll just have to trust me that it's a very painful experience until it is treated. It's not quite as painful as a paper cut, in my experience, but the broken bone may lead to other medical problems later.
They're both very painful, because in both your fingers (most likely place for a paper cut) and your toes, there are a LOT of nerve endings which will send the pain signals to your brain. If I had to choose between the two, I'd take the pain and choose the paper cut.

Paper cut is alittle worse since the pain does not go away as fast as a stubbed toe. A papercut hurts the next day if you come in contact with something that will make it sting.

LOL! They both hurt wicked....but I would have to say paper cut over stubbing my toe! I swear once a week I catch my little toe on the end of the bottom of my bed, and it feels like it breaks off every time! lol.....I would rather avoid both at all cost!

I think a paper cut is worse, because they can get infected. Toe stubbing only hurts for a few minutes, unless you've broken it.

Stubbing your toe, cuz if u do it bad enough, you cant walk for a while and it gets black and blue, and i am in sports so that would really suck. Paper cuts you can just put a band-aid on and they will feel better ^_^

I hate stubbing my toe! Hate it, hate it, hate it!
Why do I have to watch where I'm going? Can't my furniture just jump out of the way like it's supposed to?

A paper cut isnt even that bad...unless its a paper cut from a cardboard paper in between your fingers lol
