'cutting your nose off to spite the face' 

Saw that happen once, except the 'executioner' took the upper lip along with the nose.

The delay ... before the inevitable scream ... was one of the most unnerving moments I can recall.

I've seen people lose their hands and feet before too.  Oddly, there's no screaming during those.

Sounds horrible to witness! I saw a guy lose his foot once. He didn't know it until he went to take a step and all he had was a bloody stump. It was a bit unnerving to see.
