I had to get blood drawn a few weeks ago. There’s usually no problem finding a vein, but the tech was having a hard time.

I thought I heard her say “got it” or something to that effect, and I blurted out “finally!” When she stepped back, I realized that she did not get the vein, and was calling to her coworker in the next room.

I said “I’m so sorry! I thought you said you got it, I wasn’t saying ‘finally’ to you getting someone else!” We all had a good laugh over it. I would have felt like shit all day if I’d let her think I said “finally!” for calling someone else in

You’d be amazed at the amount of things you can hurt yourself with if you put your mind to it. Won’t go into stories, but I’ve had psych nurses ask me how in the hell I did that.

There’s only one thing I could never figure out - at one place, they wouldn’t let me have cheap flip flops for showering. Of course they didn’t answer when I asked what I could possibly do with them lol

Fortunately at a much better place now!

Haha I did something similar once. I saw what I thought was a ton of smoke coming from the neighbor’s garage. My ex said “I’m pretty sure that’s the dryer vent” (it was cold out that night). I still went running over, frantically knocked on their door, and pointed out the huge plume of “smoke”. They verified that it was in fact the dryer. I went slinking back home where my ex was cracking up at me
